Ok, from what I gather, when people speak of "stops", they're generally talking about aperture. Now from the speedflash quick guide:
"add or subtract flash exposure from +3 to -3 stops in 0.3- stop increments."
What exactly is happening here? Is the flash unit overriding my aperture settings for exposure, or is it attempting to adjust the intensity of the flash itself? Or perhaps messing with the camera software white balance or something?
On another note... reading the quick guide made me realize that the 60D has a built-in remote for the flash so I could use it unattached! This thing seems more and more cool every time I play with it! 
Problem is... I'm not sure why or how exactly I would use this function since it seems to be line of site and as far as I can tell, the sensor on the flash is on the front... seems silly to me 
ohh! and edit 3: Can somebody explain what use there is for the extra plastic shield thing? I gather it disperses light, but for what purpose?
Just broke my personal record for number of consecutive days without dying!
