Reducing Shutter Noise: Quiet and Silent Release
To reduce the amount of noise made by the shutter during
viewfi nder 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 viewfi nder photography—about 16.2
megapixels—those taken when Silent is selected are only
about 2.5 megapixels in size). The eff ects of these settings
are summarized below.
