The A7r does use the first shutter to start the timing... The A7 shutter is therefore quieter if only because the first shutter movement never happens..... First shutter = open the shutter to allow light to hit the sensor. In this case, close the shutter (EVF camera has the shutter always open,) open the shutter then start the collection of light. Second shutter = close the shutter to stop the collection of flight rays to the sensor. Frank Filippone Red735i at verizon.net The A7R is shockingly loud. Might just change to the 7S just to avoid giving heart attacks to others.
