No Sound

Set the input to the XLRs and don't connect any mikes. Not quite the same thing, but channels 1 & 2 will be silent.
 
If you mean a setting that prevents a sound file from being recorded- no. It will be recorded regardless. Too bad, as such a setting could increase P2 capacity a bit when the need is for video only.

Ch's 1 & 2 may be silent but if recording to P2 then ch's 3 & 4 will have the onboard mic sound recorded with no way of controlling it.
If you just want silence then you're better off leaving the ch's 1 & 2 select switches on internal and turning the levels down to 0.

I was afraid that was the answer. Since 90% of my filming is from a helicopter its a waste of storage to capture a bunch of engine/rotor noise. I would have thought it would have been an easy and inexpensive feature to include.

Thanks for the replies!
 
Some of us are hoping that will be a feature in an upcoming firmware update.
Then again we will probably regret it as there'll be the inevitable question.....
"Why didn't I get audio recorded on my HVX?"
 
Sound takes up so little space, if you could disable it, you'd get very minimal extra space. So little, you'd probably not notice.
