Enabling Silent Mode

The much-wanted Silent Mode is present in all Konica Hexar AF camera's. The original black camera's had it enabled in the factory but in any other model, you can enable it yourself. Here is what you do!

1: With camera off and no film loaded, turn the aperture dial to F22.



2: Switch the camera on and press the SELECT button. The LCD display will show +/-0.0.



3: Press the SELECT button again. The LCD display will show [0].



4: Switch the camera off, then back on again. Do not press any buttons. LCD Display shows [0].



5: The following button-pushing sequence puts the camera into ROM mode. Use the Left-Right exposure compensation buttons: 



Press right button 1 time 


Press left button 2 times


Press right button 3 times 


Press left button 4 times


Press right button 3 times 


Press left button 2 times 


Press right button 1 time 



The camera will respond by cycling its focus and the display will show the flashing number '232'.



6: Turn aperture dial from f22 to f13 (the spot between f11 and f16). LCD display shows A[3F] (some camera's show A[38], not to worry). Use the left exposure compensation button to set this value to A[00]

.

7: Turn aperture dial to f16. The LCD display shows D[22] (or possibly D[FB])

.

8: Set this value to D[FA] with the exposure compensation button. 



9: Power off. The display shows f16. 

10: Press shutter release button for 2 secs. f16 disappears, camera switches off.
