Silent Photography

Eliminate shutter sounds during shooting (Silent Photography).

Option	Description
[On]	Eliminate vibrations produced by the shutter. Use for landscapes, still lifes, and other static subjects. Use of a tripod is recommended. Selecting [On] for [Silent photography] does not completely silence the camera. Camera sounds may still be audible, for example during autofocus or aperture adjustment, in the latter case most noticeably at apertures smaller (i.e., at f-numbers higher) than f/5.6. Flash photography is disabled. Long-exposure noise reduction is disabled. There is no limit to the number of photos that can be taken in a single burst, regardless of the option chosen for Custom Setting d2 [Max. continuous release]. The electronic shutter is used, regardless of the option selected for Custom Setting d5 [Shutter type]. Regardless of the settings selected for [Beep options] in the setup menu, beeps will not sound when the camera focuses or while the self-timer is in operation. Enabling silent photography changes the frame advance rates for continuous release modes (Frame Advance Rate).
[Off]	Disable silent photography.
