Also note firmware update v1.1 made significant changes to the way wireless works, one of those being the removal of high-speed sync as an option (see PDF included with that update).
Hmm.... you have lost me there, what do you mean by this? High Speed Sync has never been an available option using pop-up flash even in version 1.0.

The camera owners manual (page 181) mentions that "high-speed flash sync can be used with the flash attached to the camera, or wireless." I've run into several previously who were assuming that sentence still applies when using wireless flash units with the built-in flash. This prompted me to point out that "firmware update v1.1 made significant changes to the way wireless works, one of those being the removal of high-speed sync as an option." And, of course, high-speed sync is not option when using the built-in flash in combination with a wireless flash. It may still be available with a flash unit mounted on the camera to control wireless flash units, but not with the built-in flash as is the case with the person asking.
