For those who do not know of the Nikon D4, although it two years old in January (quite old in the digital world) it is still far and above all others in low light situations. ISO up to 256,000. Yeah, you read that right. (Totally noise free to 3200 ISO)
Anyway, I digress.
Nikon Japan recently added a non camera product for sale in Japan only. It's an alarm clock shaped like one of Nikon's lenses. In the US there are plenty of things like coffee mugs etc shaped like lenses, but the alarm clock is something unique to the Japanese market.
So what's the point of this? The "ringtone" for the alarm is a series of shutter activations on the D4. Click, click, click etc. Eventually going into short burst mode clickity clickity clickity click and ending with a rapid fire from the shutter.
Here is the audio for those interested, it's worth the listen.
No, there is no looping taking place. That last series is continuous shutter actuations from empty buffer until the buffer is full.
