| 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 shooting noise is thereby minimized. Even if continuous shooting is set, only a single shot will be taken. |
| Disable | Be sure to set it to [Disable] if you use a TS-E lens* 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. |
IMPORTANT
- If you use [Mode 1] with continuous shooting, the [Disable] setting will be applied to the second and subsequent shots.
- When shooting with flash, the [Disable] setting will be applied regardless of the [Silent LV shoot.] setting. (Silent shooting cannot be performed.)
- 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, the operation will be the same as with [Mode 1].
9. Shoot.
