This does not happen between 1/1000 th and x sync. While from 1/8 down, the mechanism makes the characteristic motion work noise of slow speeds. My question is : is the aftermath "noise" at 1/15 and 1/30 normal ? And why ? Thanks beforehand for your clarifications ! Alan Brussels-Belgium. >> For shutter speeds of 1/30 and less, the timing is controlled by a excape mechanism. Set it shutter speed on 1 sec and you can hear it clearly. For the faster speeds, up to 1/30 sec. what you hear is the excape mechanism going through the remainder of its cycle. Charlie
