[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.
●
When [ ] is displayed on the screen, the electronic shutter is used to take a picture.
●
When [Burst Rate] is set to [SH], the electronic shutter is used to take a picture.
●
When [Silent Mode] is set to [ON], the electronic shutter is used to take a picture.
●
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.
●
Be sure to pay special attention to the privacy, likeness rights, etc. of a subject when you
use this function. Use at your own risk.
