The camera assumes (at least from my EOS-3 + 550EX experience that is similar to 1V) slow-speed sync once you in any but M mode. For regular indoors work where no slow-sync is desired, jsut switch to M mode, set your desired aperture and shutter speed (within reasonable bounadries) and go on, just watch out for actual flash range (displayed no the flash LCD). I usually set aperture for DOF, shutter speed for subject's movement/still behaviour (within 1/60 - 1/200 range) check flash's LCD for active range (if not forgot though) and shoot away.
In daylight conditions, wheer in Av you get reasonable shutter speeds, I just leave to ETTL to handle fill-flash and usualy it does admirably.
