brickftl Posted July 15, 2024 Share #1 Posted July 15, 2024 Advertisement (gone after registration) I normally want to only use mechanical shutter. However if I decide to shoot, say daylight, at f1.4 and need a faster shutter than the max 1/2000 mechanical shutter, would I best keep the camera set to hybrid shutter and then on the shutter dial set it to A?

That's what i do personally but better avoid shooting moving subject matters this way, at least in theory. In practice, i've never got rolling shutter issues so far but i'm no beta tester.

brickftl Posted July 15, 2024 Author Share #3 Posted July 15, 2024 so just to confirm - setting the shutter dial to A will allow it to go at the higher electronic shutter speeds. Yes? 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes if there is too much light for the mechanical shutter at the aperture you chose. Easy to try (M11, Summicron 50/2 v1, 1/10,000s, f/2, 64iso). 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derbyshire Man Posted July 15, 2024 Share #5 Posted July 15, 2024 (edited) It's rubbish for anything moving at pace. I didn't have a second go at this and forgot to take the camera off hybrid before I shot. 1/5000s (tour of Norway first stage) Welcome, dear visitor!

Yes this will bother any photography geek but in real life ( which is not on a photo forum 😂) nobody will be bothered. In fact, I think it adds a sense of dynamics 5 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's just a different effect of speed with as much creative potential as anything else. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
DadDadDaddyo Posted July 16, 2024 Share #10 Posted July 16, 2024 (edited) I don't know. Maybe it's OK for the consumption by the general public. But it would drive me crazy. Like when wheels seem to go backwards in a movie because they're interacting with the motion picture camera shutter. I can't not see it... The horizontal focal plane shutter effect is a little easier to take, more so than the effect under discussion here, at least in terms of suggesting motion... I do appreciate the blurred background effect when panning with a subject. Just one OCD Old Dude's opinion...

brickftl Posted July 16, 2024 Author Share #11 Posted July 16, 2024 what happens if the camera is set to hybrid shutter speed, but the dial is set to a preset shutter speed rather than A? At that point does it remain mechanical shutter? Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes. Photography is a language of symbols. Bokeh symbolizes distance, high key abstraction, motion blur movement, high contrast force, unsharpness romance, etc. Those who speak it well can create a poem. This ES distortion is a symbol of aggression. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

jaapv Posted July 17, 2024 Share #15 Posted July 17, 2024 Depends, to me it looks forceful. But then I am a person who does not expect a photograph to be carbon copy of reality, it should be an interpretation of reality. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pictures I used to take, while still working for a living, were expected to be a carbon copy of reality. I agree with you that other types of photography are interpretations and that is good. 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Infrastructure projects wrong or incomplete, etc etc. They were used in court and in contract disputes. Mostly federal government the last 6 years before I retired. I was the regional manager for inspections and safety. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
