I think the "-" in the Built-in column means that the built-in flash is not capable of these functions. So the built-in cannot do FEB, zoom, or act as a wireless flash controller.

If you get the inexpensive 90EX to use as the wireless controller, you should be able to set it up in the [External flash func. setting] menu.

P.S. the 90EX cannot enable HSS in the remote slave 550EX.  For that you'll need a controller unit capable of HSS.
