htjvan Posted July 21, 2011 Share #1 Posted July 21, 2011 Advertisement (gone after registration) Hi All, 2 Questions regarding the M8.2 discreet mode : Is it bad for the shutter to use it all the time ? I mean, does it put extra stress on the shutter to delay recocking ? Are there less vibrations when taking a picture; Less camera shake at longer shutter speeds? Anyone have experience with this thanks HTJ Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Holybasil Posted July 21, 2011 Share #2 Posted July 21, 2011 Is it bad for the shutter to use it all the time ? I mean, does it put extra stress on the shutter to delay recocking ? Not as far as I know. Other members have more information on the matter. Are there less vibrations when taking a picture; Less camera shake at longer shutter speeds? Anyone have experience with this No. Any eventual camera shake from the recocking would be irrelevant since the exposure has already been made.

lct Posted July 21, 2011 Share #3 Posted July 21, 2011 Discreet mode all the time. Haven't noticed any difference so far. Aside from deferred recocking of course. I don't shoot much in C mode though. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't shoot much in C mode though. Agree. Feels much more like film. The shutter cocks when I want it to, not when it wants to. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Brandon Skinner Posted August 5, 2011 Share #8 Posted August 5, 2011 Any truth to the rumor that a good leather half case also dampens the noise of the shutter? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
erl Posted August 5, 2011 Share #9 Posted August 5, 2011 Any camera covering will dampen the noise. Movie cameras frequently come with 'blimps' which is a sound reducing cover to help the sound guy on location and avoid disturbance in discreet locations. A point to remember is that you (the photographer) will always have a magnified impression of the noise of your camera. Partly because you are closer than anyone, partly because you feel it as well and you respond accordingly. You would be surprised how many nearby people don't 'hear' your camera, especially if they have not seen it there. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
