Archived from groups: rec>photo>digital (more info?)

I've not yet located either manual, but in the meantime can anyone tell
me if, when using the 550 EX as a slave (to a 580 EX), can I manually
stop down the flash output while it's in slave mode? I've tried, but
can't seem to get there.

Or, if I put the 580 in Master (or Slave) Mode off camera, will the
on-camera flash compensation setting control that flash when it's off
camera?

Is there no online PDF manual for either flash? I cannot seem to find
same on Canon's site.

Finally, if everything is in ETTL mode, will the on camera flash comp.
setting control the output of both units?
