Although they are used to me, they do not like the shutter noise of my new camera. This one got such a fright that he started running away! I was lucky to catch him.

[Issi Bannerman]

Excellent capture!

[Casablanca]

Oops! Nice to see one in movement though

[Margo]

Good one!1

[Beryl Lloyd]

Great action shot- he was certainly upset by the noise

Good action shot

[Valerie Chesney]

He does look startled & this is a great capture.

[Sally Ings]

Great action capture

[Mags]

Wonderful timing!

[Lou Ann]

Wonderful capture of him! Yes the shutter noise can rile up birds.

[Lynda McG]

Nice shot

[KV]

If you move to a mirrorless camera you can turn off shutter sound… if you have beeping you can probably turn that off. Nice shot here.

[Merrelyn]

Well done.

[Steve Chappell]

Awesome capture, hopefully they get used to the new shutter noise soon

[Esther Rosenberg]

Awesome pose and timing, love the wing movement

[Kate]

Nice stop-action. Can you turn off the shutter sound? I know some cameras allow for silent shutter but I like a little sound to help me know the shot was taken.

[Ian George]

Super capture , great shot

[katy]

Brilliant

@kvphoto @k9photo The beep is off but the shutter unfortunately cannot be turned off. I would like a little bit of sound ;-)

[sheri]

Still such nice clarity in the action of the flapping.

[Steve Jacob]

I have the same problem with my Nikon which I think is even louder than the Canon
