About Silent Shooting

Instructions for setting the [6 Live View function settings] menu’s [Silent shoot.] are explained below.

Mode 1

The shooting sound will be quieter than when Live View shooting is not used. Continuous shooting is also possible. For high-speed continuous shooting, it will be approx. 6 fps.

Mode 2

When you press the shutter button completely, only one shot will be taken. While you keep holding down the shutter button, further camera operation will be suspended. Then when you return to the shutter button’s halfway position, the camera operation will resume and the shooting sound will occur only then. By delaying the shooting sound, the disturbance can be minimized. Even if continuous shooting is set, only a single shot can be taken in this mode.

Disable

If you use a TS-E lens to make vertical shift movements or use an Extension Tube, be sure to set it to [Disable]. Setting it to [Mode 1] or [Mode 2] will result in incorrect or irregular exposures.

When you press the shutter button completely, the shutter will sound like it took two shots. However, only one shot will be taken.

If flash is used and [Mode 1] or [Mode 2] has been set, the operation will be the same as the [Disable] setting.

When using a non-Canon flash unit, set it to [Disable] (p.106). The flash will not fire if it is set to [Mode 1] or [Mode 2].
