Silent shooting

- If you capture things like weddings or events,…or perhaps you're shooting plays or performances,…well, sometimes having a loud camera…can be pretty distracting.…Some Sony cameras offer a silent shooting mode.…Just keep in mind it's not available…in all of the different camera models.…But what it does is eliminate the sound…of the mechanical shutter,…and instead of the physical shutter opening and closing,…it relies upon an electronic shutter,…essentially sending an electrical pulse through the sensor,…turning it on and off.…

Now be sure to act responsibly…when you're shooting in silent mode…and make sure you consider the privacy of your subject.…It's not polite to be taking pictures…of somebody without their knowledge.…But this does work really well,…and it could be useful to set the subject at ease…or minimize the intrusiveness…that you have as a photographer.…Now silent shutter is only going to work…in one of the creative modes,…manual, program mode, aperture priority,…or shutter priority.…So make sure you check the command dial.…
