3Silent Control

This function is convenient when you want to change the ISO speed, sound-recording level, etc., silently while shooting a movie.

When [z5: Silent Control] is set to

[Enable h], you can use the touch pad <h> on the inner ring of the Quick Control Dial.

You can operate the camera silently just by touching the top, bottom, left, or right of <h>.

During movie shooting, you can press

<Q> to display the Quick Control screen and change the settings below with <h>.

If [z5: Silent Control] is set to [Enable h], you cannot adjust the sound-recording level with the <5> Quick Control dial during movie shooting.

Even if you change the aperture silently with <h>, the movie will still record the lens aperture-driving sound.

If there is water or dirt on <h>, the touch operation may not work. In such a case, use a clean cloth to clean <h>. If it still does not work, wait a while and try again.

Before shooting a movie, use <h> to adjust the sound-recording level in the Quick Control and [Rec. level] screens.
