I recently noticed that the camera seems to shoot faster while in live view mode as opposed to not, and I can only assume this is because of mirror being locked up out of the way. Is there a menu item that locks up the mirror for rapid fire to maximize FPS?

My wife's family likes to do a family photo every year, and when they saw me with a camera recently asked if I would be willing to shoot the family portrait as well as single families.
I have been told by friends that my 18-55mm lens would do excellent for small groups (5 or so family members), but what lens is recommended for a group of say 25 (with 15 adults)? I read an article about using fisheye so you can be closer to the group, but I worry about distortion of the people closer to the edge.
Next, what equipment would I need? I have a 43" white (with removable black cover) umbrella and a single speedlite and stand. I also have a 42" 5in1 reflector. Do I need another speedlight and/or umbrella? is it worth the investment to get [a] strobe[s]?
Finally, location? I MIGHT be able to find somewhere nearby for an outdoor shoot, but if not, my living room is more than big enough to fit everyone. Dark wood floors, white walls, cathedral ceiling. Is it best to black out the windows and/or shoot at night, or just darkened windows (via blinds) should suffice?

Hi all, just got my K30 and 2 lenses, the 18-55mm kit lens and a Sigma 70-300mm.
Not going professional route, purely recreational shooting and lots and lots of family gatherings/sporting events. I've learned so much from this forum already and ready to ask some questions to further my learning.
