Does anyone know if M11 EXIF denotes the shutter type used e.g., Mechanical or Electronic. If, so under what value description in the EXIF file? I already searched EXIF for possible values: Shutter, Mechanical, Electronic etc.

if it does I can't say I have spotted it

I usually go by light banding to decide 🙂

I was sure someone was going to make this comment 😜

Believe it or not I have been surprised at what I can get away with the M11 in electronic shutter mode if subject movements are not too exaggerated across the frame. Subject distance helps t too. Sometimes I forget and leave the camera in electronic shutter mode and was hoping there might be some value(s) in the EXIF to determine one way or the other. I almost always shoot the Sony A1 in electronic shutter mode so for me ,easy to not notice the lack of mechanical shutter sound on the M11 if I'm inadvertently in electronic shutter mode.

I have never seen this so far. Last check with RawDigger, to no avail.

Well, I suppose seeing a shutter speed shorter than 1/4000 in EXIF would be a clue.  😉
