580 EX II Flash Manual Online?

[Calicajun]

Does anyone know of a on-line manual for the 580 EX II Flash, looked at the Canon but didn't find anything. Need to read up on now to use the 580 EX II for fill flash outdoors in bright light. Hey that flash has a lot of dials and buttons, so a little extra reading here at work may help.

The reason is I opened mouth and inserted camera, made the mistake of saying that I was going to be at a charity MS Walk to take picture for fun and practice. Now I have two e-mails from upper, upper management saying, "Great thanks for being the official photographer". I know, next time keep my mouth shut.:o

The original link was for a 580ex.
I decided to see what would happen by adding "ii" and it worked.
Go figure... :)

Hey that's great, I found another thread explaining the use of external Canon flashes but they were a little vague. The manual should help fill in the blanks, so I will be able to use fill flash as I'm sure everyone will be wearing hats.

Thanks again,
Craig

Thanks, that site has the same manual. The shoot was last Saturday and the fill flash helped on the closer shots but not to sure if it was any help on shots over 20 feet. At least I did get the flash to work, okay I did use the easy auto mode but it did work.
