Suggested number of shots 2

Formula: P = (1 - blink)^people

Step-by-step with your numbers:

1. Values used:

2. Number of people = 10

3. Blink probability per person = 0.04

5. Chance all eyes open = 66.483%

Did we solve your problem today?

The more people in a photo, the more likely someone blinks.

The math behind it

Chance all eyes are open = (1 - blink probability)^people. Take a few shots to be safe.

10 people at 4% blink chance gives about 66% per shot.

How many photos should I take?

Roughly 1 / (chance per shot) to be reasonably sure of one good frame.
