To enable the electronic shutter and
eliminate the noise and vibration caused
by operation of the mechanical shutter,
select On for Silent photography in the
photo shooting menu. Regardless of the
setting chosen for Beep options in the
setup menu, no beep will sound when the camera focuses or
while the self-timer is counting down. Note that the electronic
shutter will be used regardless of the option selected for Custom
Setting d5 (Shutter type).
An icon is displayed while silent
photography is in effect. In release
modes other than Continuous H
(extended), the display will briefly go
dark when the shutter is released to
signal that a photo has been taken.
Enabling silent photography changes the frame advance rates
for continuous release modes (0 88) and disables some
features, including the flash, long exposure noise reduction, and
flicker reduction.
