Using The Electronic Shutter - Sony ILCE-9 Instruction Manual

Using the electronic shutter

Using the electronic shutter lets you perform various kinds of shooting
that are difficult to achieve using the mechanical shutter, such as shooting
without sounds or shaking, shooting with a super-fast shutter, and
blackout-free shooting*.
* During blackout-free shooting, the screen does not black out or drop frames
and you can keep looking at the subject through the viewfinder or monitor
while shooting images.
Shutter types and camera performance
The camera's shutter speed range, shutter sound, occurrence of blackout,
and availability of the flash for each setting are as follows:
Shutter speed
Shutter sound
Blackout
Flash
* The maximum shutter speed is 1/16000 second when the shooting mode
1
is not set to S (Shutter Priority) or M (Manual Exposure), or during bracket
shooting with a setting other than [WB bracket] or [DRO Bracket].
* The next value after 1/16000 second is 1/32000 second when the shooting
2
mode is set to S (Shutter Priority) or M (Manual Exposure).
* When [Shoot. Start Disp.] is set to [On], blackout occurs only when the first
