Please note that since this model uses a leaf shutter mechanism to control exposure and prevent light leakage during the sensor's readout process, you may still hear a very faint physical click even when the electronic beeps are turned off but it&nbsp;is significantly quieter than the "clack" found in larger DSLR cameras.</P> <P>You may refer to page 100 of the user guide for more information:</P> <P><A href="https://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/1/0300031221/05/pssx740hs-cu4-en.pdf" target="_blank">https://gdlp01.c-wss.com/gds/1/0300031221/05/pssx740hs-cu4-en.pdf</A></P> <P>&nbsp;</P> Tue, 21 Apr 2026 21:47:36 GMT NatalyaP 2026-04-21T21:47:36Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Point-Shoot-Digital-Cameras/Canon-sx740-HS-Silent-shutter-mode/m-p/593191#M20970 <P>Does anyone who owns this camera know if the sx740 shutter can be in complete silent mode?</P> Fri, 17 Apr 2026 21:55:02 GMT https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Point-Shoot-Digital-Cameras/Canon-sx740-HS-Silent-shutter-mode/m-p/593191#M20970 cmseth 2026-04-17T21:55:02Z https://community.usa.canon.com/t5/Point-Shoot-Digital-Cameras/Canon-sx740-HS-Silent-shutter-mode/m-p/593498#M20979 <P>Greetings&nbsp;cmseth,</P> <P>Your PowerShot SX740 HS camera can be used in a silent mode by enabling the Muted setting in the yellow Setup menu (Wrench icon), which silences the shutter, start-up, and operation sounds.
