Hmmm, as far as I remember, this was about blinking eyes due to E-TTL. If
so, why don't you just turn off the second-curtain-mode instead of altering
contacts etc.?
This would make the flash fire asap after the pre-flash, giving no time to
blink. In second-curtain-mode, people would have, e.g., 1/60 of a second to
react upon the preflash. Sorry if I'm off the thread here, or if someone
else said the same previously...
