:roll:

I'm in desperate need of a manual for a 550ex flash. I just got it on Tuesday...

I lost it out in the woods somewhere... I have a wedding on Friday .... HELP!

If you can direct me to an online manual or something...please do!

Regards,

Ken

Thanks to all for your help... I shucked out the ten bucks for a download from manualsrus.com... Quality is pretty fair.

Thanks again... this community is great!

I don't know if there is a version of the manual online or not, but one option is the Quick Data Card. Search eBay for 'speedlite quick data card' and you should find them, or go to www.quickdatacards.com I have them for the 550EX and the Drebel, and all the reference is there on one card. However, the eyes aren't what they used to be, and the font is awful small. The good news is they will fit into most gadget bags so you can have the reference with you. The bad news is the font size and you should have the knowledge of the options and settings because the card just gives you the brief description.
I hope someone comes up with a real manual for you. If not, give the cards a look.

Have Fun

there was a similar thread to yours a couple months ago, and I don't recall anyone coming up with an online source where you can download it. Canon will be happy to sell you one, but that don't offere it as anything you can get online.

There are people out there who will sell you a xerox copy of the manual, but it's going to be cumbersome, and probably poor quality. I also think you can buy it on CD, but again, I'd worry about the quality.

Maybe if you tell us where you live, someone reading this would loan you their copy long enough to make a copy just to hold you over.

It's a miserable problem. Good luck.
