bullet02The electronic front curtain type reduces blur caused by the shutter because the amount of vibration from the shutter is small compared to the mechanical shutter type.

bullet02The electronic shutter type allows you to record without vibration from the shutter.

bullet02To reduce shutter-induced blur, you can set the shutter to release a few seconds after the shutter button is pressed:

bullet02When [icon_e-shutter] is displayed on the screen, recording will be with the electronic shutter type.

bullet02When a moving subject is recorded using the electronic shutter, the subject may appear distorted in the picture.

bullet02When you record using the electronic shutter under lighting such as fluorescent or LED lighting, horizontal stripes may be recorded. In such a case, lowering the shutter speed may reduce the effect of horizontal stripes.

bullet02When using APS-C lenses, the electronic front curtain is not available.
