D7000 Makes Random Shutter Noise

[xpurpleblob]

Hello, my camera doesn't do this often, but when I leave the camera on for a while, it seems to make the shutter noise. I believe the shutter is flipping up and down by itself. It usually does this when I'm moving. So one time I decided to move the camera up and down at a 90 degree angle, (pointing it east then north, then repeating) and it seemed to make the shutter sound. However when I turned it off and on again the noise was gone. This has happened on multiple occasions. It was a really hot day yesterday so maybe that was why it was doing it so much?

Are you getting proper exposures when you take images?

I had what I thought was the shutter going by itself when I had the D7000 but it was me hitting the Depth of field preview button by accident.It took me a while to realize what I was doing with my hand-finger placement. Just food for thought maybe.

AHA! That might be the answer! Thanks!

Another popular one is hitting the shutter button on the battery grip by accident.

And .... the DoF preview button stops down the lens aperture.

+1 on the DoF button, I do it all the time. As well as the grip.

Same thing here, until I "fingered" out what I was doing. LOL
