580EX2.
can you change ETTL to ETTL II or is this automatically sensed by the camera body?
Im using 5D and 1DMk.2.

The 580EX II is ETTL and ETTL-II compatible. It's the camera that determines if the flash is going to operate in ETTL or ETTL-II. Both the 5D and the 1DmkII use ETTL-II for flash exposures. The last camera bodies to support ETTL were the 10D and the DRebel (300D). All cameras since are ETTL-II.

Thanks, Leo.
Its a bit ambiguous in the operators manual.
