Taking Pictures in r(PAUTO) Mode

USilent Mode

In situations in which camera sounds or lights may be unwelcome, hold the DISP/BACK button down until Uis displayed (note that silent mode is not available during movie or voice memo playback).

The camera speaker, flash, and AF-assist illuminator/ self-timer lamp turn off and flash and volume settings can not be adjusted (note that the flash will still fire in Amode). To restore normal operation, press the DISP/BACK button until the Uicon is no longer displayed. Silent mode can also be set from the setup menu (pg. 97).
