The 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.
The electronic shutter type allows you to record without vibration from the shutter.
To reduce shutter-induced blur, you can set the shutter to release a few seconds after the shutter button is pressed: When [] is displayed on the screen, recording will be with the electronic shutter type. When a moving subject is recorded using the electronic shutter, the subject may appear distorted in the picture. When 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. When using APS-C lenses, the electronic front curtain is not available. |
[Long Exposure NR]
The camera automatically removes noise generated when recording images with a slow shutter speed.
[] [] Select [Long Exposure NR]
Settings: [ON]/[OFF]

[1/8000] to [1/1]
The shutter speed may become slower than the set value in recording situations where correct exposure cannot be achieved. |
[Shutter Delay]
To reduce camera shake and shutter-induced blur, the shutter is released after the specified time has passed since the shutter button was pressed.
[] [] Select [Shutter Delay]
