movement of the camera.
Note
When shooting with the electronic shutter, there may be distortion in the image due to the
movement of the subject or the camera itself.
During shooting with the electronic shutter, band-like light-and-dark shading may appear
when shooting under flickering light such as fluorescent light or instantaneous light (such
as the flash of another camera).
In rare cases, the shutter sound may be produced when the power is turned off even if the
[ Shutter Type] is set to [Electronic Shut.]. However, this is not a malfunction.
In the following situations, the mechanical shutter will be activated even if the [ Shutter
Type] is set to [Electronic Shut.].
[White Balance] is set to [Custom Setup]
[Face Registration]
The following functions are unavailable when the [ Shutter Type] is set to [Electronic
Shut.].
Long Exposure NR
Bulb shooting
The [ Shutter Type] setting may be cancelled when shooting with a function
downloaded from PlayMemories Camera Apps.
When using an external flash, the highest shutter speed you can set is 1/4000 seconds.
However, because this shutter speed uses the electronic shutter, a belt-like contrast may
be recorded on the image. If this occurs, set the [ Shutter Type] to [Mechanical Shut.].
