Ever wondered what your shutter looks like in action ?

Wow! having seen that I wonder how, after a few thousand activations, the mirror doesn't just fly off!
 
That's awesome! Not seen that before, it's a bit worrying to see the mirror bouncing around like that :eek:

Wow, thanks for sharing that :)
 
I imaginged the movement of the mirror to be a lot smoother than that. It would be interesting to see an extreme close up of the body to see if it's possible to detect any movement caused by the mirror bouncing around like it does.

Also, the video shows the first curtain going down to be replaced by the second curtain. What happens when the shutter is pressed again? Do actuations alternate between a downward motion and an upward motion? IYSWIM.
 
I expect if the mirror didn't 'bounce' (or was otherwise damped) it would soon crack in use.
 
Hasn't it got those round rubber door stop thingy's to cushion the blow??
 
Amazing, thanks for the link :thumbs:

Hard to believe that amazing images are produced every time that happens (sometimes)
 
That is amazing. never seen anything like that before.

There is also a good little movie /slide show of the D3 shutter opening and closing here. You can drag your mouse across and get info about what is happening at different points in the sequence.

It always amazes with all that goes on, how little time the actual shutter is open for. :eek:
 
mirror bounce...an old problem
 
The D3 video answers a lot of questions - you can just see the assistants fingertips as she slides the shutter door.
