Silent Live View Photography

Eliminate shutter sounds during live view photography.

On (Mode 1): Reduce vibrations caused by the shutter when shooting landscapes and other static subjects. Use of a tripod is recommended. The maximum frame rate for release mode Ch is approximately 6 fps. ISO sensitivity (0 ISO Sensitivity Settings) can be set to values of from Lo 1 to 25600.
On (Mode 2): Photographs can be taken at a higher rate than when On (Mode 1) is selected. In release modes S, Q, E, and Mup, one photograph will be taken each time the shutter-release button is pressed, while in continuous modes photos will be taken at approximately 15 fps (Cl and Qc) or 30 fps (Ch) for a maximum of 3 seconds. Image area is fixed at DX (24×16), image size at 3600 × 2400, and image quality at JPEG normal.
Off: Silent live view photography disabled.
