With all the previous reports I've read elsewhere online of the supposed problem of blinkers or closed eyes with the preflashes of iTTL speedlights, looking through some 700 odd images from myself and Geoff of friday night's festivities at the Heritage Seafood restaurant, I have yet to come across ONE example of a shot ruined by blinking.

Either the crowd of D70 owners/users have gotten used to preflashes, or it's not as big a problem as reported.

What about Birddog in the stairway picture?

Ahhh.... But even a seasoned set of photographers is not immune to "sticking one's tongue out at the wrong time syndrome"!

Onyx & Geoff, thanks very much for the wonderful shots, you both did a great job and there are some real gems in there

I’ve come across this a couple of time but nothing that has me concerned

I have only ever encounterd this with one person. Every shot that I took captured him blinking. Aaargh... To get arourd this I set EL button to FV lock and use a manual preflash.

Cheers

If you're taking candids then it shouldn't be a problem as people aren't aware of you being there (hopefully)...if not..and they know u are about to shoot, I learnt from my master (Craig/JordanP) to say to your subjects to have 'eyes wide open, 1, 2 (then click on 2) ' Another bout of wisdom from master to grasshopper. ...hehehe.


Geoff.

A small drop of superglue on the eyelid...then pull it up to the brow and hold in place for 2 minutes. No more blink.
