This is the fifth in a series of posts on the Sony a9. The series starts here. The biggest news about the a9 is the electronic shutter. Sony says it’s fast, but they don’t say how fast? Is it only half-fast? (Sorry, couldn’t resist.) The electronic shutters on previous Sony a7x cameras have scan times… [Read More]

On the Nikon D810, EFCS stops working at shutter speeds above 1/2000. On the Sony… [Read More]
Sony a7RII silent shutter speed in APS-C mode
On the a7S, the silent shutter completes an exposure faster when you set the camera to APS-C mode. How about the a7RII in the same mode? If the following graph makes no sense to you, look here. 10 milliseconds/division. I count 5 divisions. That’s 50 milliseconds, or 1/20 second. About half again as fast. That’s… [Read More]
