Can you mute the sound on the Fuji FinePix Z20fd COMPLETELY?

Can you mute the sound on the Fuji FinePix Z20fd COMPLETELY?

I know that you can turn down the "shutter" capture volume, but can you completely mute it? I need to take photos at events, and even a quieter sound (like when turning the volume down) will definitely not work for me. I tried the z20fd out at the store and couldn't find a way to mute it. Can you make taking photos *completely* silent with no "shutter click/beep"?

Sure. Check your camera setup settings. There should be one for muting the sounds a camera makes.

I couldn't find a way to mute it on the camera when I was testing it in the store. I only found a way to turn down the volume.

Has anyone found a way to mute the Fuji FinePix Z20fd completely?

Page 86 of your manual states that you can choose to turn off the volume for both shutter and camera controls. IN the setup menu, look for the speaker icon. This is the volume control. Turning it all the way down will mute it because all the way down turns it off.

I agree though, a mute button would be much less of a hassle.

Thanks, James. I tried what looked like the speaker icon and it still would not turn to mute.

I haven't bought it yet and tried it in the store-- I could get the volume quiet, but it wouldn't completely turn off. I'm wondering if there is more than one item that looks like a 'speaker' type button. I can't imagine a camera that wouldn't mute-- that'd be a deal breaker for me and many people. I'll have to go to the store again and take another look. :)

Hi Cowboys - the finepix z20fd has a "museum" mode, where the simple navigation noise, shutter noise, flash, and any other noises are turned off.
