●Reducing Shutter Noise: Quiet and Silent Release

To reduce the amount of noise made by the shutter during viewfinder photography, rotate the release mode dial to J. In live view, shutter noise can be eliminated by selecting Silent for Live view photography in the shooting menu (note that while FX format pictures taken when Quiet is selected for Live view photography are the same size as those taken during viewfinder photography—about 16.2 megapixels—those taken when Silent is selected are only about 2.5 megapixels in size). The effects of these settings are summarized below.
