tsdevine wroteNo, I don't think so. Unfortunately there is no auto-EFCS, which would seem super simple to implement.

I suppose there is still no way to configure the camera to turn EFCS off when shutter speed is faster than some threshold ?
Been awhile but Fuji allowed you to set up auto transition from Mechanical, to EFCS, to Electronic based on Shutter Speed markers that could be adjusted. Worked great.
This is one of my biggest pet peeves with Sony. It might sound trivial, but when you get back from shooting just to find some shots ruined by EFCS-bokeh, it can really get on your nerves. It happens even to the pro-reviewrs out there from time to time.
On the other hand, this weird Sony policy makes A1 look better in this regard .


What is the impact on Bokeh with EFCS? I have heard about it but don't really understand the implications. Is it only with EFCS or also while using Electronic shutter

So I have always preferred to use my camera with the mechanical shutter for photography. Considering the rolling shutter on the A7R series cameras, I very infrequently use EFCS or Electronic shutter due to the impact to Bokeh and rolling shutter.
