i Selecting the Drive Mode
6 ( B ) : Single: Silent shooting
You can shoot one image at a time while suppressing the
mechanical sound during viewfinder shooting. The internal
mechanical operation is not executed until you return the shutter
button to its halfway position.
6o ( V ) : Silent HS shooting
You can shoot continuously at approx. 5.0 fps maximum while
suppressing the mechanical sound during viewfinder shooting (as
compared to the <
o > setting).
6p ( M ): Silent LS shooting
You can shoot continuously at approx. 3.0 fps maximum while
suppressing the mechanical sound during viewfinder shooting (as
compared to the <
p > setting).
k ( ): 10-sec. self-timer
l : 2-sec. self-timer
For self-timer shooting, see page 150.
During Live View shooting or when [ Enable: Mirror down w/ s ] is set
for mirror lockup, even if drive mode is set to < 6 >, < 6o >, or
< 6p >, these silent drive modes will not further reduce the mechanical
sound. (The only reduction of the mechanical sound is the effect of the
Silent Live View shooting or mirror lockup mechanism.)
If the camera’s internal temperature is high and the drive mode icon is
blinking, the maximum continuous shooting speed will become slower to
prevent internal damage to the camera. Set the power switch to <
2 >
and let the camera rest for a while.
The continuous shooting speed indicated for each drive mode is the
camera’s default speed. With [
8 4: Continuous shooting speed ], you can
set the continuous shooting speed for each drive mode (p.433).
