We have already published a patent that Nikon working on 18-135mm APS-C Mirrorless lens with Silent AF Motor. Now, we have one more patent that clearly says Nikon is working more to improve the AF noise generated by the lenses by limiting the AF speed of the AF motor.
Nikon APS-C Mirrorless to have Silent Mode and Normal AF Mode
Don’t get confused with DSLRs in camera silent mode, for example I have used Nikon D850 DSLR silent mode in which camera uses the electronic shutter to capture images and same in the case of Nikon new Z6 and Z7 Mirrorless camera, if you select silent mode in nikon Z7 camera the shutter slap noise will be reduce while using electronic shutter, however in LED light lights some banding issues may appear while using silent shutter.
The new patent reveals silent AF Mode, in Silent AF mode camera will limit the AF speed to minimize the noise of the AF motor.
The silent AF lenses coming for Nikon APS-C Mirrorless camera and very soon the tech will be also implemented in FF Mirrorless camera.
