I shot about 4 or 5 rolls of "Pictures With Santa" a couple of weeks ago using the AF360 wireless on a Stroboframe and did not have any shots in which the subjects eyes were closed. I think it's because the AF360 fires so fast after the RTF. I was using the IR shutter release and it appeared to be nearly one long flash.
