Quick question as I run into LED lighting a lot . If silent shutter is lacking here because of banding does it have a anti flicker control for mechanical shutter. This could be a deal breaker for me, 1 SD card does not help but this one is a concern
Keep in mind there are only two shutter settings on this camera: full electronic shutter, and electronic first curtain shutter. There is no full mechanical shutter mode. That is certainly a limitation one should be aware of. For me it isn't a deal breaker, but each person will have to decide that for themselves.
Personally I usually shoot in EFCS, and when I don't I almost always use full electronic shutter these days (at least with my Sony cameras), but if somebody uses full mechanical shutter a lot, then they should think carefully if the limitations of the shutter will be a problem for them.
Guy, it doesn't function like the A7 III. The A7 III has a full mechanical shutter you can use. This camera does not.
Steve, I shoot full mechanical on my a7r2. As I understand it (though I haven't followed it much), the downside of the A7c implementation is that at very high shutter speeds the bokeh shape can be compromised when shooting at large f-stops and high shutter speeds? Are they are other practical implications for a non-mechanical only shutter if I don't use any flashes?
Leaning towards picking up an a7c...the EVF seems to not be as much of a deal breaker for many. Waiting to get my hands on one.
