Does anyone know how to turn off the power save feature on the 580 II? Every time I use that flash as one of my off camera lights it powers down between shots. It's very annoying. Help!

thanks,
Brian

Did you read your manual? I don't have a 580EX II, but it may be custom function #1.

Page 27 of the instruction manual.
Custom function 01-1.
