These are called the My Camera settings. You can also customize the   
and   options for each item with images recorded on the SD card and 
newly recorded sounds or by using the supplied software.

 How the [Mute] option in the   (Set up) Menu and Sounds in the   
(My Camera) Menu Interact
To turn off each sound, such as the start-up sound, shutter sound, 
operation sound and self-timer sound, [Mute] must first be set to [On] in 
the   (Set up) menu. When [Mute] is set to [On], each sound option will 
not play even if they are set individually to [On]. The warning sound, 
however, will play even when [Mute] is set to [On].
