Focus confirmation beep

[Marek M]

Whenever I take an acquaintance out to shoot I make sure they turn off all sounds.

That includes cameras and phones/watches.

Wow!

Yep, that was vicious.

Not if you are photographing wildlife and want to remain stealth. Even in the quietest moments, who needs an airhorn...

All sounds turned off with everything I have.

There's enough noise around without annoying beeps from cameras.

Even the focal plane shutter noise mildly annoys me but on my E-P5 there's no fully electronic option. If I need quieter for some reason then I get my Sony RX100M6 from its belt pouch.

Now if only I could quieten those voices in my head telling me to.....

Beep

Post end confirmation beep

I leave mine on. It's handy for studio work which is about the only time I use af-s. On the other hand in the real world I tend to use mf in combination with af-c or tracking af-c which means no beep in the first place. So technically I leave it on but never use it, if that makes any sense at all.

I need an air horn. I have an air horn. Kayak photography camping to shoot astro. I carry it in my life vest as my legally required 'sounding device' (a whistle isn't enough for me). It's secondary home is in my tent. I have used it with wild life. Scared off a bear before it could be an issue.

as long as it is IPX6 then it's one less thing to carry. I'm all in on multi use. ;-)

Canon 6D beeps on manual focus as well.

I like it that way.

I usually have it turned off, but if I have a subject who won't stay still, I use it to help the subject focus on the task at hand (pardon the pun). Sometimes it works, sometimes it doesn't. It's just another tool. I don't need it for myself.

I do find it annoying when people have them turned on at events and things like that, whether I'm there as a photographer or as a guest.

Back and forth. While I usually do not like nor need it, I turn it on when I shoot planes with RDS. One of my cameras is venerable SX50, with its not-exactly-fast focus and small focussing frame; when I follow the fast moving plane with RDS, looking down for visual confirmation of focus would result in losing my object. Confirmation beep is very convenient then.

I leave mine on as well, since my rig only beeps in AF-S and not C. I only turn it off on rare occasion if I am in a museum or such.

Man, we are living in wonderful times if a beep bothers people that much.

Great, I wish there was a way to double or triple like a post. ;-)

I really love this sound. I would even say this is what made me pick up a camera. True, I was only 8 then and there was no question of at least a little high-quality photographs, but nevertheless, since that time I periodically arrange photo shoots for my friends and slowly even learn something. Recently, a friend of a friend of mine, a local photographer who even took paid courses, appreciated my work. I was just shocked!
