Shooting without shutter sound (Silents Settings)
PASMB
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.
