Canon eos 700d liveview5/18/2023 ![]() Nano USM focusing technology was first seen in the 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM (opens in new tab) launched in 2016 and made its ‘L’ series debut in the RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM (opens in new tab). The STM (Stepping Motor) lenses are generally not as fast as USM lenses, as they’re designed to produce smooth, near-silent autofocus. These are designed with video in mind and are much quieter in operation than standard USM lenses. One way to reduce lens noise is to use an STM (Stepping Motor) or Nano USM (Ultrasonic Motor) lens. Even the sound of the aperture opening and closing may be audible if you’re shooting in an especially quiet environment – although, to be fair, changing the aperture while recording a video isn’t recommended as changes in the exposure may also be recorded. Not only will these pick up button and dial clicks, they can potentially record mechanical noises from the lens, such as autofocus and image stabilization. This is especially true if you’re using the camera’s built-in microphones. ![]() Keeping a lid on noise becomes even more of an issue if you’re recording an audio track. As such, they are unlikely to be aware of the side effects of using an electronic shutter in photography. The reason Canon have designed it a little bit differently is that the RP is aimed at those photographers taking their first-steps into full-frame photography. Instead, you have to set the mode dial to ‘SCN’ (Special Scene Mode) and then select Silent Mode from here. You won’t find the same silent shutter option in the EOS RP’s menu. If your EOS R doesn’t allow you to combine the silent shutter with continuous drive, you can download the firmware from Canon’s website. When the camera was first launched, silent shutter was only compatible with single shot drive mode, but a firmware upgrade has amended this. You can use the function in any of the Creative Zone modes, and choose to shoot in single or continuous drive modes too. In the EOS R you have to dip into page 6 of the red Shooting menu to enable it. The function is disabled by default as there are some trade-offs that come with using an electronic shutter. This gives you control over when the noisy part of taking a shot kicks in if you don’t want to disturb a subject, you can move somewhere else – or hold the camera under your coat or behind your back – before you release the shutter button. It will only resume operation again when you lift your finger and the shutter button returns to the half-way point. The reason for this is that once you fully press the shutter button and a photo is taken the camera will suspend operation. Unlike Mode 1, you can only shoot a single frame even when you’ve set the drive mode to continuous. Mode 1 is the default setting and is designed to suppress mechanical noise, but Mode 2 takes a slightly different approach. ![]() This is designed to reduce the noise level when taking pictures in Live View, and there are two different modes to choose from, as well as an option to switch it off. Live View silent shootingĪs well as having ‘silent’ drive modes or an electronic shutter, some advanced EOS cameras, including the EOS 5D Mark IV, 7D Mark II and 6D Mark II have an additional ‘Silent LV Shooting’ option available in the red Shooting menu. ![]() (Image credit: Canon) (opens in new tab) 2. ![]()
