Taking Pictures with No Shutter Sound

([Electronic Shutter])

Applicable modes:

The shutter sound can be turned off for recording in a quiet environment. The mechanical shutter is disabled, making it easier to take pictures with minimized blur.

We recommended making a trial recording in advance because distorted subjects and horizontal stripes may be recorded depending on the recording conditions.

Select the menu. (P28)

> [Rec] > [Electronic Shutter]

Settings: [ON]/[OFF]

•Flash is fixed to [Œ] (forced flash off).

•Under fluorescent or LED lighting, etc., horizontal stripes may appear on recorded pictures. In such cases, lowering the shutter speed may reduce the effect of the horizontal stripes.

•If a subject is moving, the subject may appear distorted on the picture taken.
