[QUOTE="Wahugg, post: 76170, member: 10685"] Actually the 2 second delay and the remote shutter cable only address the vibration of pressing the release button. On any Nikon camera with out messing with any other settings, the picture will start to be recorded the second the mirror is registered in the up position. The shutter you can barely hear open up, but you can defiantly feel and hear the 'click' of the mirror. This could cause some vibrations and Nikon did seem to realize this so they have added a neat feature. It's called "Exposure Delay Mode" (PhotoAV8R mentioned), which delays the opening of the shutter by .75 seconds to allow any vibrations from the mirror to subside. This option can be found under the Custom Setting Menu's shooting/display bracket. Note that not all cameras have this feature. Also as a person opinion, a remote shutter cable could cause some sort of disturbment while it hangs down off the camera, or when you release it from your hand to let it hang. It might not, but it's just my personal preference. Here is the best shot I could get last night. The sky's started off clear and crisp, but within 15 minutes of setting up a wall of clouds moved in.
