Turnoff Startup Chimes?

Is it possible to turn off that windows-login-sounding startup chime on my g2? Volume controls don't seem to affect it, and if I am taking pictures in a quiet place, I feel like I can't let it power down.

Thanks,
Adam

hi adam, in those situations, wait until after you turn the camera on before opening the LCD (this is a workaround for disabling the startup sound). best of luck.

I have some vague memory of turning off the shutter sound altogether and that also stopped the chimes... I'll have to have a look when I get home, but I'm pretty sure that was it... I stopped it somehow, but it stopped all other sounds too...

Cheers,

Yep... 21 farm's method is the only one I'm aware of as well. I don't use the LCD most of the time, and have beep and volume turned all the way down. My camera is dead silent... except for the sound of the lens focusing. (Which is quieter than my Nikon AF SLR)

Two choices:

1. Don't open your LCD viewfinder until the camera starts up (which I always forget at the worst possible moment).

2. Flip your dial to the Playback menu where you view your photos, press Menu and turn Playback Volume completely off. You won't be able to hear the sound on your movies until you turn it back on, but then what are you doing using your G2 as a camcorder anyway?

Hey it works! Fantastic. It assumed it would be controlled by the shutter volume. Thanks!.
