It probably uses the main camera sensor and just measures the light levels... |

It should work in the same way like the other k and w models, or in nokia fones

actually it has an IR sensor, it's right next to the flash. it measures light for the flash, if you can't see it try looking at it from a digital camera or maybe in a mirror (camera sensors see IR light)

My MXE-60 sensor was right here

Both of those are sensors i think. The infrared measures distance and the other one measures lighting levels. Atleast that's what i've been told. |

I would have to disagree.
I believe that red/orange light is merely a coloured LED used to guage focus in low-light conditions and not an infra-red sensor.
It cannot be used to determine whether the flash should fire as the light will only come on as part of the flash.
As has previously been stated, I believe the small dot below the self-portrate mirror is the light sensor. I certainly can't see it serving any other purpose.

The red LED light is an AF (auto focusing) assist lamp to help the camera focus in low light conditions by putting light over the illuminated object to focus. And it's red so that it doesn't affect the light that the camera might sense (just like human, when our eyes can see red light without it making our pupils smaller).
And infra red focusing is invisible to the naked eye.

i agree with shaliron.. where you can only see the red LED lit up when taking a shot in dark enviroment .. same with the K750i where you plug in the MXE-60, the white LED act just the same as the red LED on K800i
