    I have a Canon 550EX Speedlite that I want to use off-camera with a
    conventional strobe slave. The strobe slave has a metal shoe, which
    visually appears to short the 550EX's E-TTL contact pins, but not the
    convential trigger pins. Tests show that the slave triggers the 550EX fine
    in manual mode, which is what I want. There is no apparent ill effect.
    Does anybody know the 550EX's electronics well enough to to say for certain
    whether using it in this way is harmful?
