If you do a group shot of two people, shoot twice as many shots
as you think you should. By the time you get to 12 people, a roll
or two is in order. God I hate group shots.

On Saturday evening, I used my new (to me) AF360-FGZ to take some
pictures at our Christmas party. When I got back the prints, the
majority of the photos had at least one person with their eyes closed.
The house was fairly dark and the revelers had imbibed quite a bit of

Hi Michael...
I don't have direct experience with the AF360, but here's my theory on the
cause: Camera flashes cause most folks to blink. Hey, it's a natural
reaction to a very intense light. Usually, by the time a person blinks the
exposure has been completed. So it's not a matter of *if*
Michael,
Having used 360's extensively, the mode you are probably referring to
is P-TTL where a pre-flash for measurements is taken. In practice it
looks like one really long flash rather than two short ones.
I have not really noticed an excessive amount of shut eyes due to
blinking on hundreds
Bruce,
With the ZX-L, I cannot select TTL, my only choices are A, M and P-TTL.
I used fast film (Portra 800).
Could you offer a little guidance about camera settings with flash? In
this instance, I was using the FA 50mm f/1.4.
I used the Program AE (a smiley face on the ZX-L), and the camera
Michael,
Try about 5.6 with the aperture ring. Leave the rest of the camera in
program and I think that it will not set the shutter below 1/30 and
not greater than flash synch speed.

Bruce,
I just tried selecting the red-eye reduction mode on the camera. That mode
gives a noticeably earlier pre-flash about a second prior to the shot. I
wonder if the red eye mode would allow people to adjust to the flash and
get their eyes back open before the shot?

Michael,
No, let it go. The camera believes that you shouldn't hand hold it
lower than 1/45 with your 35mm lens. That should be ok for the time
being. Do a few test shots there and see how they turn out. You
might try it on a few who didn't blink and a few who did.
The other thing to try is
Michael,
I wouldn't try the red-eye reduction mode simply because too many
people let their guard down after the first flash and you end up more
often with the after shot look.
