The unit starts an exposure electronically, and ends it with the mechanical shutter.
Electronic
Shutter
The unit starts and ends an exposure electronically.
When burst rate is set to [SH], pictures will be taken with the electronic shutter.
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. (P59)
