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 minimised 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.
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.
• If jitter occurs during recording, distorted subjects may be recorded. Use of a tripod is
recommended.
• You can turn off the shutter sound at [E-Shutter Vol] in [Beep]. (P53)
• Be sure to pay special attention to the privacy, the likeness rights, etc. of the subject
when you use this function. Use at your own risk.
Not available in these cases:
•
[Electronic Shutter] will be fixed to [ON] when [Burst Rate] is set to [SH].
• Not available with [Panorama Shot] in Scene Guide Mode.
