Hi all,
I found out that the lifetime of a shutter for my 450D is approx 50,000 shots.
I presume most of this wear will be the mechanicals to lift the mirror for each shot?
Has anybody any tips for how to carry out time lapse shots (~600 shots a session) but minimise the wear on the camera to ensure it doesn't fall over after a few months.
e.g. does shooting in 'Live view' remove a lot of the mechanical operation when taking a shot?
Cheers,
B.
