This should be the same as on the 420EX.
The green point is the normal speed and the H letter correspond to the high speed mode.
With the 420EX i shoot always in H mode as the move from normal speed to high speed is automatic.

The green light indicates that the camera determined that exposure has been correct

The H(ighspeed) sync setting allows you to use the flash with shutter speeds shorter 1/125 s, while the power (guide number) is reduced. Depending on your situation it might still be enough for a good result.

Sorry for not getting back to you quicker...
