Try that with your camera and listen carefully??”it might not make any noise at all.
Or it might make an obviously fake ???click??? sound through the camera??™s speaker. When I
got my first digital camera many years ago, I actually had to look at the LCD display on the
back of the camera to see if the picture was captured or if, for some mysterious reason, the
camera was still waiting to grab the shot.
So if there??™s no shutter blade, how is the picture actually taken? If there??™s no mechanical
shutter, the CCD is simply turned on long enough to expose the picture. Since the CCD is
an electronic component that acts as the camera??™s film, it can be controlled electronically for
whatever exposure time is needed. In addition, the camera??™s aperture may close completely
to keep light from reaching the CCD??”prolonged exposure to sunlight can damage this
sensitive part of the camera; but the aperture needn??™t spring open and closed as quickly as
the shutter blade in a 35mm camera, so the sound it makes isn??™t as dramatic. You??™ll hardly
notice it at all.

Adjust Exposure Manually
The most basic manual exposure control you can exert over your camera involves setting both
the aperture and shutter speed.
