15.4 4:3 Mode

Frame rates higher than 37 fps in 4:3 or 48 fps in 16:9 reduce the
maximum possible mirror shutter angle. When the frame rate change
reduces the allowed mirror shutter angle below the currently active
shutter angle, the camera automatically sets the shutter angle to 135.0°.
The technically possible maximum shutter angle depends on the frame
rate.
To set the maximum available shutter angle:
SHUTTER
1. Press the
SHUTTER ANGLE screen.
ADD
2. Press the button on the SHUTTER ANGLE screen to get to the
SHUTTER ANGLE ADD screen.
MAX
3. Press the button on the SHUTTER ANGLE ADD screen and
confirm by pressing the jogwheel twice.
The maximum available shutter angle is now a part of the shutter list
and can be set by pressing the jogwheel.
When the mirror shutter is on, the camera redirects the user to the
SHUTTER ANGLE screen after setting the sensor frame rate, where the
shutter angle can be adjusted as desired. To cancel this action, press
the HOME button.
In 4:3 mode, the camera captures images from a vertically extended
sensor area. The used area is 23.76 x 17.82mm in size, which translates
to 2880 x 2160 sensor photo sites.

operated in 16:9 mode.
