Silent Shooting - Canon EOS 50D Instruction Manual

Silent ShootingN
Mode 1
The shooting operation noise is quieter than the normal shooting.
Continuous shooting is also possible. High-speed continuous
shooting will be approx. 5.8 fps.
Mode 2
When you press the shutter button 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 and the
shooting sound will occur only then. By delaying the shooting sound,
the disturbance can be minimized. Even if continuous shooting is
set, only a single shot can be taken in this mode.
Disable
If you use a TS-E lens to make vertical shift movements or use an
Extension Tube, be sure to set this to [Disable]. Setting it to [Mode
1] or [Mode 2] will result in incorrect or irregular exposures.
When you press the shutter button completely, the shutter will sound
like it took two shots. However, only one shot will be taken.
If you use flash, the [Disable] operation will take effect even if you had
set it to [Mode 1] or [Mode 2].
When using a non-Canon flash unit, set it to [Disable]. (The flash will not
fire if [Mode 1] or [Mode 2] is set.)
