Geeking Out on Gear | Episode 4 - 5d Mark III Silent Shutter

Hi Everyone,This time, we just had to share about the 5D Mark III's silent shooting mode. It's seriously a game-changer for wedding photography (for us, anyway). You guys are going to LOVE it during your wedding day.Also, we had one person ask on Vimeo a question about the actual noise difference as it still sounds a bit loud in the video. The noise in the video could easily have to do with how close I hold it to the microphone (that was about 3" above my head and 2" in front of me). So, we did a quick, unscientific, iPhone App, test. Here are the results and what I wrote there:The Results from 1ft (12") from the front of the camera with the camera 3" off the surface:5D2 Normal Mode: 935D2 Video Silent Mode: 845D3 Normal Mode: 925D3 Silent Mode: 80Results from 2' (24") away from the camera with the camera 3" above the surface:5D2 Normal Mode: 905D2 Video Silent Mode: 775D3 Normal Mode: 875D3 Silent Mode: 76Result from 4' away (48") with the camera 3" off the ground:5D2 Normal Mode: 845D2 Video Silent Mode: 715D3 Normal Mode: 815D3 Silent Mode: 72Results from Across the Room (roughly 10'):5D2 Normal Mode: 565D2 Video Silent Mode: 485D3 Normal Mode: 565D3 Silent Mode: doesn't register above room noise which is 43Walking in cross country shoes is 45 at this distanceIn person, however, the 5d3 silent mode sounds, to the ear, significantly quieter than the non-silent mode.At a ceremony, I can easily hear the click of the shutter across the room (if it is a room). However, with this, and we've yet to use it in this situation, so, take it with a grain of salt, I expect it to be barely audible. With 50+ guests in the room, I expect only those within 10' to be able to hear it at all.P.S. This video was recorded with our other new 5D Mark III in Av mode using Evaluative metering.
