or in settings where the sound of the shutter would be unwelcome. The electronic
shutter can be used in single-frame mode and self-timer modes and for frame rates
as high as about 14 fps in sequential shooting modes. This setting is only available in

The desired results may not be achieved under flickering light sources such as fluorescent

• Note that due to the electronic shutter, the subject may appear to be distorted in
photographs if camera moves quickly during shooting or when shooting fast-moving
subjects.
