You know what else this provides: an extra measure of quiet operation!
With no intention of making multiple exposures on a given frame,
you can set the drive to multiple-exp. (or said another way,
"Continuous No-Advance"), make your single exposure, change the drive
mode back and then advance the film with a 1/2-press of the shutter
(or the AF-on button?) when the moment is best.
My guess is that even in "Silent" advance mode, the film advance
is the largest contributor to sound (Art, anyone else, confirm?)
If you're not in a terribly rushed mode of operation, and you want
to fully minimize sound, this is a viable way to do it.
Thanks for the great insights, Art.
Can you confirm that there is no way to change release/focus-priority
in Continuous and Single servo modes in the F100?
Thanks,
Chris
