[AUTO]
The shutter mode automatically switches based on the recording conditions and 
shutter speed.
 • The mechanical shutter mode has higher priority over the electronic shutter 
mode because the mechanical shutter has less function-related restrictions 
when recording with a flash, etc.
[MSHTR] Uses only the mechanical shutter mode to take a picture.
[ESHTR] Uses only the electronic shutter mode to take a picture.
 ●
When [   ] is displayed on the screen, recording is performed with an electronic shutter.
 ●
If you take a picture of a moving subject using the electronic shutter, the subject in the 
picture may be skewed in some cases.
 ●
When you take a picture under a fluorescent or LED lighting fixture using the electronic 
shutter, the recorded picture may have horizontal stripes. If you use a slower shutter 
speed, the horizontal stripes may be reduced. (→68)
