FOCUS SIGNAL

When the shutter-release button is pressed partway down, an audio signal confirms the AF system has focused. The focus signals can be changed or turned off in section 3 of the setup menu (p. 90). Two tones are available.

SHUTTER FX

When the shutter is released, a shutter sound effect gives a positive confirmation a still image is recorded. The sound effect can be turn off in section 3 of the setup menu (p. 90). Two shutter effects are available. Signal 1 is taken from the Dynax/Maxxum 9 SLR and signal 2 is taken from the legendary Minolta CLE, a compact rangefinder that represents the pinnacle of the development of the Leitz-Minolta CL.

VOLUME

The volume of the audio signals and shutter FX can be increased or decreased in section 3 of the setup menu (p. 90). The volume can be turned off. This affects the camera’s audio signals only and will not change the playback levels of a movie clip.
