hi I have the Speedlight 580 EX II and I can't get it to fire off like 3 shots in burst for group shots or in side a church, because sometimes people always seem to have their eye's shut, I have noticed that my friends Nikon flash has this feature. Does Metz have a flash for Canon that has this? Thank you.

Are you using rechargeable batteries? They normally give you a much shorter recharge time on the flash. But I would also second the countdown suggestion. A further alternative is Photoshop, where you can get the best bits of each image so everyone is looking.
