: Silent single shooting	You can perform single shooting while suppressing the mechanical sound during viewfinder shooting. This cannot be set for Live View shooting.

Caution

Configuring the Setting for Live View Shooting

1. Turn on the camera.

2. Select the shooting mode.

3. Press the ⋖ MENU ⋗ button to display the menu screen.

4. Press the ⋖ ⋗ button and turn the ⋖ ⋗ dial to select the [ ] tab.

5. Turn the ⋖ ⋗ dial to select [ Silent LV Shoot. ], then press ⋖ ⋗.

6. Turn the ⋖ ⋗ dial to select [Mode 1] or [Mode 2], then press ⋖ ⋗.

Mode 1	Mechanical sound during shooting is suppressed, compared with viewfinder shooting. Continuous shooting is also possible.
Mode 2	When the shutter button is pressed completely, only one shot will be taken. While you keep holding down the shutter button, the camera operation will be suspended. Then when you return to the shutter button’s halfway position, the camera operation will resume. The release sound at the moment of shooting can thereby be minimized. Even if continuous shooting is set, only a single shot will be taken.
Disable	With the drive mode set to [ ] and [AF operation] set to [One-Shot AF], you can shoot up to the maximum continuous shooting speed of approx. 7.0 shots/sec. Be sure to set it to [Disable] if you use a TS-E lens (other than those listed in the [NOTE] below) for shifting or tilting the lens or if you use an extension tube. If [Mode 1] or [Mode 2] is set, the standard exposure may not be obtained, or an irregular exposure may result.

Caution

With [Mode 2] set, continuous shooting will not work even if you set the drive mode to [ ] or [ ].

If you use flash with the flash mode set to E-TTL II/E-TTL autoflash, shutter release will be performed by the same internal operation mechanism as with viewfinder shooting. Therefore, shooting while suppressing the mechanical sound will not be possible (regardless of the [Silent LV shoot.] setting).

When using a non-Canon flash unit, set it to [Disable]. The flash will not be fired if it is set to [Mode 1] or [Mode 2].

If [Mode 2] is set and you use a remote controller, the operation will be the same as with [Mode 1].
