Yes, Vesa, you're right.  I both 550s are set to slave.  The ST-E2 is
off-camera when I press the pilot button to fire the slaves.  The ST-E2 uses
infrared to fire the slaves, not white light.  Which makes me wonder why they
didn't do the same on the 550s as masters.  I know you're all going to tell me
it's in the book, but the 550s really do use white light to send info to other
strobes?!?  I use my flashes in manual mode only when they're off-camera, so I
don't know for sure.  I'm on the road and don't have the book in front of me.

Don, once you set the 550s to slave, hold the mode button down for a couple of
seconds, it will switch to manual then hit the select button to change things.
