580 EX II Lessons learned (tips and tricks)

I'll keep on updating this post as my learning progresses.

- When reading the manual, I've immediately been wondering why not leaving the flash on High Sync Speed all the time. There seem to be quite some consensus in forums that this is the best setting and that it does not have any drawback. HSS does consume more power but ONLY when the shutter speed goes above the max. camera sync speed (1/200 for my 400D); in other cases it would not consume more power and simply reverts back to normal mode of operations. So, ... mine is going to stay on HSS untill I find a reason not to do so.
