Do you use the "Q"uiet mode on your camera

I have rarely had a need to use quiet mode but when I was shooting powerboats the other month and went behind the scenes I found the "Q"uiet mode a boon.

The Nikon D7000 in quiet mode is truly quiet.
Had to use it in that mode when I was shooting a concert last March.
My "handler" from the concert hall was impressed and left me alone for after I showed her how quiet it was.
The D800 just makes 2 noises instead of one...I wouldn't call it quiet at all in comparison.

I wonder what the drawbacks are when using quiet mode? If there are none, why not just make the camera quiet all the time? I have never used it.

It uses live view and that slows the camera to single shots only

It's good to know its there but so far, I have not had a need for it.

Churches, taking photographs in public not looking like you are taking photographs, libraries/museums, stately homes, aquariums, cafes, etc etc

On Canon5D III I use quiet almost all the time. It does slow the burst rate about in half. If I need faster, I go to normal. It is a great feature.

I use 'quiet' mode all the time and intensely dislike the cameras - and owners - that announce that they are taking a photo via a loud noise - especially those that sound like breaking glass!
What exactly is this annoying habit supposed to do? How long before cameras are given 'ring tones' to announce to the world that a photo is being taken? :!: :-(

I don't understand that! Why should turning an annoying noise off affect the performance of the camera? :?:

Because it involves the activation of the screen and works like a video or compact camera and other things it isn't "just" a noise, at the moment of taking the photo it quietly raises the mirror etc

Hi Crwiwy, The Canon manual for the 5DIII spells it out on page 112. "High- speed continuous shooting (Max. approx. 6 shots/second). Silent continuous shooting (Max. approx. 3 shots/second). JR1 has the technical answer. Good shooting.

I said "and other things", in other words I don't have a clue, thanks though

Thanks JR for an answer I could understand.
By 'quiet' mode I took it to mean simply turning the electronic sound off - which is a menu item on all the cameras I have had.

I think it still is in many cases, but now they have a way to raise the mirror just before the shot, allowing to to raise "slower"
Check this out, he is totally wrong though the D7000 is 6 fps not 5
