Questions about the sound of D3S shutter

Nikon officials explain the "quiet shutter release mode" this way: imagine that you are shooting in a scene that needs to be quiet. At this time, as long as you select the "Q" on the shooting mode dial, you can reduce the sound when the camera mirror drops during shooting. This function is particularly important when shooting in limited environments such as theater performances or wild animals.

In fact, the sound of the shutter of the SLR camera itself is not loud, but the sound of the reflector rising and falling. Silent shutter is to slow down the motion of reflector. This function has been added to Nikon's new machines since D5000. It's still very cool to use, and the sound can be reduced a lot. Moreover, in this mode, if you press the shutter and don't let go, the reflector will not drop, and you can choose the time when the reflector drops.

Personal experience is that this method is not only quiet, but also reduces the vibration of the fuselage.
