The Rolling Shutter effect is a huge reason why I haven't considered making the jump to a mirrorless body. Can someone explain to me, why it doesn't appear on all photos? If it happens to one shot in a burst, shouldn't it happen to all of them? And this is only when using the electronic shutter, correct? The mechanical shutter eliminates this effect?
I apologize to all - I've been trying to wrap my head around the "rolling shutter" for about 8 months now, and just can't seem to get a grasp of it.
There would be no difference in rolling shutter between DSLR and MILC when using mechanical shutter. There can still be some rolling shutter present when using MS if the shutter speed is faster than the flash sync speed, because the entire shutter is not exposed at once (someone correct me here if my facts are off).
Now when we go into electronic shutter, the readout speed of the sensor will vary depending on the camera. In cameras with stacked sensors, like the Z9, the readout speed (i.e. the time it takes to go from reading the top line to the bottom line) can be very fast, making the rolling shutter effect essentially equivalent to that you'd see with a mechanical shutter. Readout speed is affected by a few factors, but generally, cameras with stacked sensors have faster readout speeds.
If the readout speed of the sensor is much slower, say, 1/30 second, then that means there is a 1/30s lag between when the top line of the sensor is read vs the bottom - so if an object is in motion, it will look skewed.
Hope that helps.
