A place to politely discuss the tools, technique and culture of photography.

This is not a good place to simply share cool photos/videos or promote your own work and projects, but rather a place to discuss photography as an art and post things that would be of interest to other photographers.

Digital cameras and phone cameras that make a simulated film camera sound on shutter release. The sound is not even remotely close to the sound of any film camera. Same in movies too.

Legally they have to have sound that is recognizable to the general public that a camera has taken a photo. It’s not everywhere just some states but because of that it works everywhere. Early on you could turn off the sound and people were using them to take photos in bathrooms and up skirts. Now they have to do a camera sound ( even if you can get around it with headphones).

Yeah. It was like the second model of the iPhone that had to have it. (It’s all software related.) but yeah all because of creepy people.

why do they legally have to have that when you can turn it off?

I have no clue. Maybe it’s because not all areas require it. I think it’s only like 3 states that have the law.
