Hint
In the following situations, set the [ Shutter Type] to [Auto] or [Electronic Shut.].
When shooting with a high-speed shutter in a bright environment such as outside in bright sunlight, the beach, or snowy
mountains.
When you want to increase the speed of continuous shooting.
In the following situations, set the [ Shutter Type] to [Auto] or [Mechanical Shut.].
When you want to use the flash with a shutter speed faster than 1/100 second.
When you are concerned about distortion in the image due to the movement of the subject or the movement of the camera.
Note
When shooting with the electronic shutter, there may be distortion in the image due to the movement of the subject or the camera
itself.
During shooting with the electronic shutter, band-like light-and-dark shading may appear when shooting under flickering light such
as fluorescent light or instantaneous light (such as the flash of another camera).
In rare cases, the shutter sound may be produced when the power is turned off even if the [ Shutter Type] is set to [Electronic
Shut.]. However, this is not a malfunction.
In the following situations, the mechanical shutter will be activated even if the [ Shutter Type] is set to [Electronic Shut.].
When capturing a basic white color in [Custom Setup] for [White Balance]
[Face Registration]
The following functions are unavailable when the [ Shutter Type] is set to [Electronic Shut.].
Long Exposure NR
Bulb shooting
When using an external flash, the highest shutter speed you can set is 1/4000 seconds. However, because this shutter speed
uses the electronic shutter, a belt-like contrast may be recorded on the image. If this occurs, set the [
Shutter Type] to
[Mechanical Shut.].
