I was using an SLR and apparently she blinked at the sound of the mirror flipping up. By the time the shutter opened her eyes were closed and opened immediately afterwards. Because the SLR loses the viewfinder image as the mirror rises and the shutter clicks, I was unaware of her brief blink until the films were developed. I got around this unconscious reflex by using a Leica RF camera or a digital camera that makes no noise until the actual exposure. It has helped keep peace in the family.
