Sorry if this has already be concluded, but is it true that this camera has no option to disable EFCS? Besides bokeh issues, this can also present a major issue when stitching panoramas at higher shutter speeds. The ND grad effect causes a stepping from shot to shot that messing things up. Going electron shutter helps the ND grad effect but ruins DR.
There was one reviewer saying it didn't have that option. Would like to confirm it as well.
Have seen this claimed in a couple of places.
But actually, now that there's no DR penalty for E-shutter mostly, I don't really see that there are many use cases for EFCS.
You can use e-shutter almost all the time.
At high shutter speeds stopping fast action you might want to switch to mechanical shutter to prevent rolling shutter, but at high shutter speeds there is no vibration problem with full mechanical. And at high shutter speeds EFCS can create artefacts anway.
I guess slow shutter speeds in artificial light where you don't want to use e-shutter because of banding and mechanical might cause a bit of vibration is the main case, though EFCS can sometimes band a bit too...
