[AUTO]
The shutter mode automatically switches based on the recording conditions
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.
[MSHTR] Uses only the mechanical shutter mode to take a picture.
[ESHTR] Uses only the electronic shutter mode to take a picture.
●
In the following cases, recording is performed with an electronic shutter.
•[ ] is displayed on the screen
•[Burst Rate] is set to [SH]

●
If you take a picture of a moving subject using the electronic shutter, the subject in the
picture may be skewed in some cases.
●
When you take a picture under a fluorescent or LED lighting fixture using the electronic
shutter, the recorded picture may have horizontal stripes. If you use a slower shutter
speed, the horizontal stripes may be reduced. (→ 87)
