The only way I can figure out to silence the camera is to set the burst rate to 40. This disables the mechanical shutter and uses only the electronic shutter for silent operation. The downside is that the images are only 4.5 Mpixel.

It would be great if there was a firmware fix to allow electronic shutter operation in all modes, but until then this is the only way I have been able to figure out to run the camera in a silent mode.
