Photo Forum / Digital Photography / DSLR Cameras / February 2006Rebel XT sounds
The fake (I think) sound of film winding through the camera on my new Rebel XT is driving me nuts. Is there any way to shut it off? There is nothing in the manual. My old Sony DSC828 also made this sound, but it could be shut off. Thanks, Jack > The fake (I think) sound of film winding through the camera on my new Rebel > XT is driving me nuts.

Try locking up the mirror and take a shot and see if you still get the sound. That is if the XT has a mirror lock up function, don't know if it does not not.

The 20D is pretty loud but I find I can sometimes use that to my advantage. I find if I take half a dozen or so fast photos most people will start to crack up, the smiles look much better then the forced smiles that you often see in photos.

I have a couple nice laughter series. I'm not sure why people have this reaction, but it works. :) SignatureMark Photos, Ideas & Opinions http://www.marklauter.com/gallery > Scott, I tried it in the mirror lock up mode (it does have one), and I > think you are correct.

So now we are getting into bragging about how loud our camera are?

Maybe it's easier to add something that makes the sound of fluorite being crushed. That should make any photographer scream.

Not quite what you want, but it's in the same spirit. :-) http://tinyurl.com/dfhfo Buy 2, get 1 free! >||| You newbies have no clue.

Are we that sensitive to noise in the cameras? Regardless of anything else, my DSLR is much quieter than my SLR ever was. > So now we are getting into bragging about how loud our camera are? No, but the guy is obviously a newbie...because digital cameras are considerably quieter than even their 35mm forefathers. > > So now we are getting into bragging about how loud our camera are? > > No, but the guy is obviously a newbie...because digital cameras are > considerably quieter than even their 35mm forefathers. I would put my 20D at about the same noise as my Canon film SLR, close enough not to matter. This always seemed a bit odd since the mirror on the 20D is smaller then on the film SLR.

This always seemed a bit odd since the mirror on > the 20D is smaller then on the film SLR. Smaller, but maybe faster? A fast mirror has more energy to release in sound than a slow one. At 5fps the 20D shutter is pretty fast as SLR's go.

My 350D is much quieter than my 30 year old Mamiya, I'd still like a digital range finder with an interlens shutter to get the noise lower for occasional use. SignatureIan G8ILZ >> I would think you are hearing the shutter sound. Try locking up the >> mirror and take a shot and see if you still get the sound. I'm still on the EOS300/"Rebel", not yet having gone digital. To make it quieter (to get a chance of subsequent shots of wildlife) I sometimes set it to take double exposures. This means it does not immediately wind on the film and only makes the mirror/shutter clank. Then I can cancel the double exposure steathily and muffle the wind-on sound, ready to take another shot... Mike.

The only sound mine makes other than the mirror and shutter is focus confirmation, and that can be turned off.

This XT is not going to be a good candid camera. Actually, it should be a better candid camera considering you can actually take a photo when you press the shutter release. I had the F717 and waiting the hour or so it took for the shutter to actually release after pressing the button resulted in a lot of missed shots.

If I had a dime for every missed shot with the 717 I'd be retired... well, at least I'd have an extra 50 bucks in my pocket. :) SignatureMark Photos, Ideas & Opinions http://www.marklauter.com/gallery >>>The fake (I think) sound of film winding through the camera on my new >>>Rebel XT is driving me nuts.

I have an old Pentax KX I used to use many years ago, and one time scared off and entire flock of birds with the noise. This gives me an excuse to dig out the old Rollei every once in awhile. Thanks, JackM > Greg, It does appear to be the shutter and mirror. Apparently my Sony 828 > (non-SLR) spoiled me. This XT is not going to be a good candid camera. That seems a bit odd to me. I have a F828 and a 20D and whereas the F828 is a very good camera for what it is it can not compare to a DSLR, either in the fun of using or the quality of the photos. If you really have a need for a very quiet camera you might look at the Sony DSC-R1. It is a pretty limited camera but for a non-DSLR it does fairly well.

Best for that is one of the compacts with something like an interlens or leaf shutter, I find my Minolta Xt quite handy for such use. Now, if someone produced an APS-C range finder with such a shutter... SignatureIan G8ILZ > Greg, It does appear to be the shutter and mirror. Apparently my Sony 828 > (non-SLR) spoiled me. This XT is not going to be a good candid camera. The 717 would mike a nearly silent click-click during exposure (stupid simulation sounds turned off of course) - perfect for weddings and stuff. The 20D mirror slapping around in the box turns heads occationally. Probably due to SLR envy. <g> SignatureMark Photos, Ideas & Opinions http://www.marklauter.com/gallery |
