Applicable Shooting modes
Setting a shutter type
You can use either of the two shutters to take pictures: the mechanical shutter or the electronic shutter.
Press [MENU] → [Rec] → [Shutter Type] → [Auto] / [MSHTR] / [ESHTR]
| Setting | Description | Flash | Shutter Speed (Sec.) | Shutter Sound |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| [AUTO] | Switches the shutter type automatically depending on the recording condition and shutter speed. The mechanical shutter mode has higher priority over the electronic shutter mode because the mechanical shutter has less function-related restrictions when recording with a flash, etc. | |||
| [Mechanical Shutter] (MSHTR) | The Camera starts and ends an exposure with the mechanical shutter. | Yes | 4 to 1/1300th | Mechanical Shutter Sound + Electronic Shutter Sound |
| [Electronic Shutter] (ESHTR) | The camera starts and ends an exposure electronically. | No | 1 to 1/16000th |
Electronic Shutter Sound Note: Electronic shutter sound settings can be changed in [Shutter Vol.] and [Shutter Tone]. |
Notes:
- Electronic Shutter Mode allows you to take pictures without causing shutter vibration.
- When [Electronic Shutter] is displayed on the screen, pictures will be taken with the electronic shutter.
- The electronic shutter is used for recording in the
following cases:
- When recording 4K photos.
- Panorama Shot Mode.
- When recording with [Post Focus].
- When a moving subject is recorded with the electronic shutter, the subject may appear distorted on the picture.
- When the electronic shutter is used under fluorescent or LED lighting, etc., horizontal stripes may appear on the picture. In such cases, lowering the shutter speed may reduce the effect of the horizontal stripes.
