Can you explain this please? Nikon D5300 query

[LouiseTopp]

Louise, have you solved the 'problem' you raised in your initial post?

Was it that the camera was set in the "Quiet Shutter Release Mode"?

Seems to be ok for now. I have it on single shot.

We need more info; what exposure system (P, A, S, M) or Scene Mode were you using?

A mode

Thanks for the link will check it out

When in doubt, read the manual........
