Silent Shooting - Canon MARK II EOS 5D Instruction Manual

Silent ShootingN
Mode 1
The shooting operation noise is quieter than with normal shooting
through the viewfinder. When you set the drive mode to <i>, you
can shoot continuously at approx. 3 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. The
shooting noise is thereby minimized. Even if the current drive mode
is set to continuous, only a single shot will be taken.
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 it is set to [Mode 1] or [Mode 2].
If [Mode 2] is set and you use a remote controller (p.102) to shoot, the
operation will be the same as with [Mode 1].
