Need my A2 Konica Minolta to be silent

You may download a copy of the manual here.

Good Afternoon,
Because Konica Minolta no longer exists in the photographic industry, many of their support channels have been filtered over to Sony Corporation, who was the purchasing agent of their photography division.
Below is a link to where you can download an English manual for your DiMage A2:

And the one you want can be followed to this link:

or you can simply click on it from the first URL provided.
Hope this helps!

Try turning off the shutter lock.. In my Dynax 7D manual it tells you to turn off shutter lock when attaching to a telescope or microscope this is what this lens basicly is .The shutter lock is turned on and off in section three of the custon menu on my Dynax ,check your manual for your camera to find out where to turn on and off shutter lock, hope this helps

I have an earlier version of this camera: a minolta  dimage 7. While your camera is better(later) than mine beyond ISO 100 these cameras tend to be noisy.  The only solution is to asscpt the noise since hou will need a high ISO in order to use an acceptable shutter speed  and use a noise reduction program (noise ninja, neat image, helcion noise filter). One of these may be free- i think helcionbut aside from changing to a DSLR this is the best solution

I have the complete instruction manual for the G400. I think I can just email you the whole file if you like.Let me know and I will do that.

The DiMAGE A2 controls shutter speed in the range of 30 sec. to 1/4000 sec. in 1/3 increments. (at bulb maximum 30 sec.) The speed, 1/4000 sec. is controlled only when the aperture is f5.6 or over in P and A mode. The highest speed in S and M mode is 1/2000 sec. The lower range depends on the set camera sensitivity. ISO800: 4 sec., ISO400: 8 sec., ISO200: 15 sec., ISO100 and ISO64: 30 sec.

AF single or AF continuous can be selected. In AF single mode, focus is calculated and set when the shutter-release button is pressed partway down. This mode is mainly useful for a stationary subject. In AF continuous mode, camera continues to focus on a moving subject even when the shutter-release button is pressed partway down. It is convenient to capture the moving subject. When setting spot focus point in AF continuous mode, subject tracking can be used. (Subject tracking can be turned on/off by the recording menu. ) When selecting the Spot Focus Point, Full Time AF can be used*. * Full Time AF can be turned on/off on the setup menu. * Sensors mounted on the grip and on the eyepiece detect when the camera is held.
