OM SYSTEM OM-1 Mark II - Shooting Without Shutter Sound; Settings)

Shooting without shutter sound (Silent I
Settings)
P A S M B n
In situations where the shutter sound is a problem, you can use the silent shooting modes to shoot
without making a sound. An electronic shutter is used to reduce the minuscule camera shake caused
by the motion of the mechanical shutter, much as is the case for anti-shock photography.
