Title: GFX100S shutter mode preferences
Post by: mtakeda on July 16, 2021, 06:48:34 pm

It has been said we should apply the electronic first curtainshutter for vibration control along with the mechanical shutter mode. However in case of GFX100S we can only select ES plus electronic first curtain not mechanical shutter. Is this problem or someway to MS with the electronic first curtain.

The manual says differently.  Page 148.

When looking for the absolute best sharpness use an electronic shutter with the shutter sound turned off.
If the electronic shutter is not possible, use EFCS (EF E-Front Curtain Shutter).
