Title: D3 shutter release in slow motion
Post by: ErickN on September 21, 2008, 20:46
An interesting animation showing the Nikon D3's shutter release, step by step. Wait until the complete loading of the pictures, then move your mouse over the picture (left / right) to go backwards / foreward :

Wow! Impressive.

And you can see why mirror lock up is such a useful facility. Look at the way the thing vibrates as the mirror slams up. How many cameras have it these days?

mirror weight is soo little comparing to camera weight, so it has no effect (or microscopic) in camera shake. only paranoic people use mirror lockup.

(ps. canon eos 400D has it too, but I never use it, no need for that).

If you are shoting at 1600mm, a very small shake can make quite a difference.

Okay ... thanks for that ... so I'm paranoid.   ;D   I wondered what the matter was.

(And ... just because I'm paranoid doesn't mean you all aren't out to get me.   ;D   ;D  )
