Nikon D500 - Muffling the Shutter; Quiet Shutter-Release Mode

27
You may nd it useful to mute the shutter at stage perfor-
mances, during interviews, or for wildlife photography.
Quiet Shutter-Release Mode
When quiet shutter-release mode is selected in viewnder
photography, the mirror stays up while the shutter-release
button is pressed all the way down. The mirror is lowered
(more quietly than in single-frame mode) only when the
shutter-release button returns to the halfway position, al-
lowing you to control the timing of the click made by the
mirror. In live view, the sound of the mirror being raised is
eliminated altogether.
To choose quiet shutter-release
mode, press the release mode
dial lock release and rotate the
dial to Q.
