The Electronic Shutter (Silent Live View Photography)
A
Silent Live View Photography
•
The amount of time you can continue shooting is shown in place of the
number of exposures remaining.
•
Selecting [ On ] for [ Silent live view photography ] does not completely
silence the camera. Camera sounds may still be audible, for example
during autofocus or aperture adjustment.
•
During silent live view photography, you may notice the following in
the display and in photographs recorded with the camera.
- Flicker or banding in scenes lit by such sources as fluorescent,
mercury vapor, or sodium lamps
- Distortion associated with motion (individual subjects such as trains
or cars moving at high speed through the frame may be distorted, or
the entire frame may appear distorted when the camera is panned
horizontally)
- Jagged edges, color fringing, moiré , and bright spots
- Bright regions or bands in scenes lit by flashing signs and other
intermittent light sources or when the subject is briefly illuminated by
a strobe or other bright, momentary light source
•
In continuous release modes, focus is fixed at the values for the first shot
in each series.
•
Silent photography mutes the shutter, but this does not absolve
photographers of the need to respect their subjects’ privacy and image
rights.
