Electronic Shutter (ES)
When using the IQ3 100MP Trichromatic, IQ3 100MP or IQ3 100MP Acromatic
Digital Back, it is possible to capture the images using the Electronic Shutter. It
not only provides advantages for a number of capture scenarios but it extends
the control and workflow possibilities for Live View, black frame calibration
integration and technical camera applications.
The Electronic Shutter has several advantages. Since there are no vibrations
from a mechanical shutter, it is easier to capture the finest details and fully
enjoy the high resolution of the IQ3 100MP Trichromatic, IQ3 100MP or IQ3
100MP Acromatic Digital Back. Another advantage of using the Electronic
Shutter is that there is no mechanical wear when shooting a very large number
of photos. Additionally, you can capture an image completely silently.
However, it does take a noticeably longer time to read the entire image from
the sensor when using the Electronic Shutter rather than the mechanical
shutter. The full read-out time is typically up to one and a half second, and as a
consequence, it will only support flash synchronization of 1.6 seconds.
However, the Electronic Shutter is a great choice when doing studio work or
copy stand photography using continuous light.
The Electronic Shutter can also be used for landscape images, where there are
only small local movements, for example leaves, trees or waves. This is
because the movements are captured instantly at the specific location of the
small moving subject. Larger subjects, like a moving car or running persons
will be distorted in the image. As a consequence, the Electronic Shutter is best
suited for tripod use.
Please note: Bulb and Toggle function on XF will not work in ES mode.
