    To disable the flash:
    Select the third Settings Menu (the yellow spanner icon with three yellow dots)
    Select "External Speedlite control"
    Select "Flash function settings"
    Select "Flash Firing"
    Select "Disable"


    To enable the AF-Assist beam:
    Select "External Speedlite control" as above
    Select "Flash C.Fn settings"
    Select "C.Fn 8 AF-assist beam firing"
    Select "0:Enabled"
