[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.
• [

• When recording burst pictures with [Burst Rate] set to [SH]
• When recording 4K photos
• When recording using [Post Focus]
• When [Silent Mode] is set to [ON]
●
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. (→63)
