units do not cover the side AF points however, so with those flashes, the camera will use it's own AF assist light when a side AF point is selected. When using some large diameter lenses the left side AF assist light may be blocked by the lens barrel. The dark red circle that houses the AF assist light, close to the shutter button, also houses the receiver for the optional IR remote control, RC-1.

3.10 Remote Release Port

On the left side of the camera is a small hole that is actually the plug in port for the RS-60E3 Cord Remote. Just plug it in and you can trip your shutter without touching your camera. This makes for much steadier shots when using a tripod.

3.11 Battery Compartment

The Battery Compartment is on the bottom, on the right side. It uses a 2CR-5 lithium 6 Volt battery. Canon claims that you can expect up to 90 rolls of 24 exposure film with one battery. Cold weather and use of the internal flash will reduce that considerably. Below zero (F) temps and using flash on all exposures will reduce this to as little as 6 rolls of film.
