beth_johnston1 Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 <p>So I was pretty deep in my menu trying to create custom settings and think that I may have changed something to where my d700 captures really slow. It may have been doing this before but I didn't notice it until I went on an engagement shoot and it just seemed slow. Is it because its a raw file? It feels like the shutter is open for a long time, but its at crazy fast shutter speeds. Changing the shutter speed doesn't change anything. Anybody know of what I might have changed? </p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Peter_in_PA Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 <p>Did you turn on mirror delay?</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matt Laur Posted February 13, 2012 Share Posted February 13, 2012 <p>Check menu setting d9 (exposure delay mode). That's for minimizing mirror-slap vibrations while saving you from going all the way into mirror-lock-up mode.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

john_morris4 Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 That must have been incredibly frustrating on a shoot with real people in front of the camera. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ShunCheung Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 <p>I use that feature quite often since I would rather not carry a cable release, and sometimes forget to switch it off. But I can recognize that problem immediately.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jay_poel Posted February 14, 2012 Share Posted February 14, 2012 <p>I do the same Shun. I try to remember to switch it off, set release mode to Continuous Low and change my mode dial back to 'A' after I remove the quickplate from the camera.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wedding-photography-denver Posted February 15, 2012 Share Posted February 15, 2012 <p>I did that once too. I think you can hit a few buttons simultaneously to do the same thing (if memory serves me right), and that was how I got there. Very frustrating.</p> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
