A firmware option for 'stealth mode' would be nice.

IE, an option that would let you snap a picture and NOT have the motor
winder kick in.
The next activation of the shutter release would activate the winder only.

So each picture would require two presses of the shutter release.
Display should show blinking asterisks instead of shutter speed until
camera is re-cocked.
