Silent Photography
Although the noise of the mechanical shutter is muted, other sounds
may still be audible, for example during autofocus or aperture
adjustment or if the
G or K button is pressed when an option other
than Off is selected for Vibration reduction . During silent
photography, flicker, banding, or distortion may be visible in the
display and in the final picture under fluorescent, mercury vapor, or
sodium lamps or with subjects that are in motion, particularly if the
camera is panned horizontally or an object moves horizontally at high
speed through the frame. Jagged edges, color fringing,
moiré , and
bright spots may also appear. Bright regions or bands may appear in
some areas of the frame with flashing signs and other intermittent
light sources or if the subject is briefly illuminated by a strobe or other
bright, momentary light source.
