Electronic Shutter (ES)
It is possible to capture the images using the Electronic Shutter which
provides advantages for a number of capture scenarios. 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 IQ4 150 MP. 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.
Note that 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 a half second on the IQ4 150MP
(three times longer on the IQ4 100MP Trichromatic), and as a consequence,
large moving subjects, like a car, will be distorted in the image. For the same
reason, Electronic Shutter only support a very slow flash synchronization, but
it is a great choice when doing studio work or copy stand photography using
continuous light.
The Electronic Shutter is also very useful for landscape images, where there
are only small local movements in for example leaves, trees or waves. These
kinds of movements are captured instantly at the specific location and will
thus not represent a problem. We highly recommend using Electronic Shutter
with a tripod.
You enable the Electronic Shutter on the XT Camera System by entering the
IQ4 Menu and selecting XT Menu > Shutter Mode and ensure that it is set to
ES Only.
