The electronic shutter is silent but otherwise the shutter is in my opinion pretty silent as well, certainly not very loud as you describe. FWIW, I shot 4 models yesterday with an X2Dii and all of them complained that they couldn't hear when I took a picture. The models were relatively close (5-10ft at most) and this within a room without music or any other form of background noise.

Not sure what else to tell you, other than that a small video with audio could potentially be useful, ideally also with the (shutter) sound of other cameras as a reference.

Also FWIW, of the cameras that I own I would describe the Leica M10-P and the Hasselblad X2D/X2Dii as very silent cameras, other cameras that I own (or owned) are much louder.

For the other folks, while I appreciate the attempt to help, truly I do, please read the thread. As I mentioned in my first post, the shutter button sound is LOUDER than the leaf shutter sound. I know what a leaf shutter is, and what it sounds like . This is a different sound coming from the shutter button itself as I described. When I depress the shutter button when the camera is off, it still makes the sound so clearly it's not the leaf shutter.


The X2D shutter also makes the tiniest click sound when off, and that sound is far quieter than the leaf shutter. It's so quiet that I never noticed it before your complaint, so you're either very sensitive to it, or your shutter mechanism is wonky.

When I fully depress the shutter yes the lens makes an audible sound. Of course if on ES then there is no sound.


I can feel it but I can't hear it. With my old ears, anyway. I do hear the leaf shutter. Even the gentle snik of my 55V.

Actually shooting today I realized it is two sounds-like open and close?

Ahh, but yes they do, at least in my case. When I half press the orange shutter button for AF, it's silent. But when I full depress the button to capture an image, the mechanical mechanism makes a very loud click sound. Can't figure out how to attach a video, maybe I'll upload to YT.

Are you saying your X2D II shutter button is completely silent when you depress it fully?


Which lens, please? Then we can try to replicate it.

Interesting that after the latest FW upgrade my files are now 213MB whereas before the FW upgrade they were 212MB. Small difference, but I wonder why?

Yeah, it would be helpful to know the lens, the older (original) have a very distinct ‘kachunk” to them…I have the X2Dii and 55v, which are very quiet…

Agree, but it still produces great images.

First trip in earnest with X2DII. Just starting to process and still going strong for another 10 days.

I must admit I am having LOTS of fun using this X2Dii.

Mostly using 38V and 90V, but also have 25V and 55V as well as 135+1.7x. Usng the 25V in tight slot canyons and while at Red Canyon yesterday. So far have seldom used the 135, but when needed I had it.
Shot above taken with 38V. Like the manual clutch when setting up in total darkness. Have been using cyan focus peaking just to see what the lens DOF is.

I must say again that IBIS is incredible for me when in full daylight.

I lost touch with Hasselblad during their transition to digital/venture capital ownership period, but based on my day with the X2dII 100C, I'm all in!

Beautiful light! Did you use the HDR feature, or was that achieved through post processing?

Sorry for the delay, Fred, but I was blocked out of this site with "Access Denied" messages every time I tried to get on here.

Short answer- I tried both and in this case preferred my own post processing which frankly was minimal.

I wanted to hold it in my hands this Sunday, but it looks like B&H doesn’t have them on display. Whoops...
