Got beep meh? Think mine off long long time ago! or spoilt liao :bsmilie:no idea about whether your AF confirmation beep is on... last time when i was in a workshop... quite quiet environment... that photographer keeps on "beep beep"... wait for 2 sec "beep beep"... wait for 2 sec "beep beep"... wait for 1 second "flap flap"...
this continuous pattern really irritates me... if want to beep then just beep and shoot... keep beeping but not shooting why AF then????
Yes........ only speaker speaking niah... and piak piak piak..... piak piak...... piak piak! :cry:You've got a very quiet room with very quiet crowd?
AF no issue but piak piak piak very very distinct sound. D300s...... think full frame is my next upgrade.Go get the D300s - got quiet mode you know?
And quiet AF with AF-S or HSM....
D300s...... think full frame is my next upgrade.

My take on this......
I've seen my fair share of "irritating" photographers at seminars and really, its not the sound of the mirror but the photographers' lack of sensitivity towards the situation that pissed off the speakers and participants alike.
In general, the photographers haven't got the slightest clue when to take a photo and when not to, they just fire off as and when hoping to land a useable few shots. Why take 200 photos of the same speaker as he/she talks in a time frame of say...... 45 mins? Of course he/she would get irritated.
Some understanding of the seminar's content and the style of the speakers is essential. Observe your subjects, time your shots. Take a photo when he/she pauses, etc. Be considerate.

I'm not insinuating that TS is guilty but that's certainly something photographers have to reflect on. I'm saying this in the capacity of a seminar participant and photographer. If you were paid to be there, a few clicks isn't going to make you stand out like a sore thumb. I wouldn't be too quick to blame the camera.
? Since when did i mention i will be getting bigger mirrors to be quieter? :nono:I am just saying next upgrade for me is a full frame!What makes you think bigger mirrors will be quieter?
The mirror slap is a mechanical movement, and no way of cutting that off altogether. Even with the D5k or D300s, the quiet mode basically lifts the mirror, and delays the return action.
In this kind of situation, a PnS or mirrorless camera, like EP1 will not "annoy" the speakers.
use PNS lor~ Haha!

Its apparent that you think the mirror slap is a problem for you then you went on about upgrading to FF......
Have you handled a D3 or D700? Heard the mirror slap before?
I was just wondering if in Live View, it's possible to shoot with the mirror 'locked up'. Granted, you'd have to use contrast detect AF, which is supposed to be slower, and ignore the viewfinder (blasphemy to many DSLR users, but if it works...). Is that even possible?
TThat is why i am asking for methods to quieten the camera if someone who is genius enough might have figured out something.
