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 minimized 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. (P28)
> [Rec] > [Electronic Shutter]
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.
