Notes:
Electronic Shutter Mode allows you to take pictures without
causing shutter vibration.
When [Electronic Shutter]
is displayed on the screen, pictures will be taken with the
electronic shutter.
When a moving subject is recorded with the electronic
shutter, the subject may appear distorted on the picture.
When the electronic shutter is used under fluorescent or
LED lighting, etc., horizontal stripes may appear on the
picture. In such cases, lowering the shutter speed may reduce
the effect of the horizontal stripes.
