i think there are two major usage of that infra red light kinda thing..
i dont know if i heard this with masseur or max_wedge... just cant point.
but firstly, that red coming out is also a support to reduce red-eye, like by lighting on the subject (of course a person), the pupil dilates then the xenon flash fires off... having the subject's eye expose less on the light bulb.... eerrr
then the next is, for focusing, you are right! especially in low light OR completely dark environment! the red light fires off to measure/gauge the length or focal points to be used etc etc... after that didnt you notice, the cam focuses even if you cant either see the subject on the viewfinder clearly.
@abbafan
dont use BestPic if you are not in a completely lit environment... hence outdoors!
if you are inside a room/house and you are close to your subject, try portrait mode, if the light is low then twilight portrait.
and just like plankgatan said, never use auto, it doesnt help.
try playing around with the other functions.. its fun learning things that way...
cheerio!
remember, plankgatan shots are taken with stock drivers.... so think how good your K810 could be if you would only learn to use the lights around you.
enjoy peeps!
