Silent Photography
•
Selecting [On] for [Silent photography] does not completely silence
the camera. Camera sounds may still be audible, for example during
autofocus or aperture adjustment, in the latter case most noticeably at
apertures smaller (i.e., at f-numbers higher) than f/5.6.
•
You may notice the following in photographs and in the shooting
display:
- Flicker or banding in scenes lit by such sources as fluorescent,
mercury vapor, or sodium lamps
- Distortion associated with motion (moving subjects may be distorted,
or the entire frame may appear distorted if the camera is moved
during shooting)
- Jagged edges, color fringing, moiré, and bright spots in the display
- 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
•
The frame advance rate for burst photography changes when [On] is
selected for [Silent photography] (
0
127).
•
If an option other than [Off] is selected for [Vibration reduction] in the
photo shooting menu, sounds made by the camera may be audible
when the
G
or
K
button is pressed.
•
Silent photography mutes the shutter, but this does not absolve
photographers of the need to respect their subjects’ privacy and image
rights.
