[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.
