• When [

] is displayed on the screen, pictures will be taken with the electronic shutter.

• The electronic shutter is used for recording in the following cases:

– When recording 4K photos
– When recording with [Post Focus]
– Panorama Shot Mode

• 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.
