Shooting without the vibration caused by shutter button operations
( Anti-Shock z)
To prevent camera shake caused by the small vibrations that occur during shutter
operations, shooting is performed using an electronic front-curtain shutter.
This is used when shooting with a microscope or a super telephoto lens.
You must fi rst set [Anti-Shock z] in
X Shooting Menu 2 to the settings other than [Off]
(P. 98).

YHDR button.
2 Select one of the items marked ♦ using the rear dial and press the Q button.
3 Shoot.
• When the set time has elapsed, the shutter is released and the picture is taken.
Shooting without shutter sound ( Silent [
♥])
In situations where the shutter sound is a problem, you can shoot without making
a sound. Shooting is performed using electronic shutters for both the front and rear
curtains so that the miniscule camera shaking caused by shutter movements can be
reduced, just as in anti-shock shooting.
You can change the time between the shutter button is pressed all the way down and
the shutter is released in [Silent [
♥]] in X Shooting Menu 2. Set to [Off] to hide this
setting item (P. 98).
1 Press the j
YHDR button.
2 Select one of the items marked ♥ using the rear dial and press the Q button.
3 Shoot.
• When the shutter is released, the monitor screen will go dark for a moment. No
shutter sound will be emitted.
• The desired results may not be achieved under fl ickering light sources such as fl uorescent
or LED lamps or if the subject moves abruptly during shooting.
