    • 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 flickering light sources such as fluorescent or LED lamps or if the subject moves abruptly during shooting.
  • In [Silent [♥]] mode, the following measures are undertaken to reduce the sound and light produced by the camera.

    • Electronic shutter: Enabled
    • 8: Off
    • AF Illuminator: Off
    • Flash mode: Off
  • Note that due to the electronic shutter, the subject may appear to be distorted in photographs if camera moves quickly during shooting or when shooting fast-moving subjects.
  • Long exposure noise reduction is not available in [Silent [♥]] mode.
