Quiet Shutter Release

In quiet shutter-release mode, the mirror does not click back into place while the shutter-release button is fully pressed, allowing the photographer to control the timing of the click made by the mirror, which is also quieter than in single-frame mode. In addition, the beep does not sound regardless of the setting selected for Beep option in the setup menu.
