Even the 6700 had EFSC function on/ off. Honestly we are guessing until we actually see the menus for these. There are a few things we need to look at in their menus to explain it. The data so far has been confusing and maybe inaccurate

Looking at 6700 menus now it says e-front curtain in/off in mechanical shutter. Still thinking this cam is the real deal

Okay find the menu palette for the A7C units folks we can figure it from there

Guy, am I right in thinking that the "jumbled bokeh" issue at 1,000ss or greater with the new A7C models is not an issue with the A6700 because of the APS-C mode? Have you shot portraits yet with the A6700 with or without flash and if so any issues?

I wanted to get an A7C model for a 2nd smaller body, but as I explained in post #13 above I use fast primes and will be shooting a lot of photos at faster than 1/1,000ss. And at times I do use fill flash. Am fine with the 26MP, as I use that mode all the time on my A7RIV.
