adan Posted March 28 Share #1201 Posted March 28 (edited) Advertisement (gone after registration) And while we are considering how to make a hypothetical EVF-M a "camera for dummies," how about including a variety of stick-on replacement scales to put on the lens controls. For the aperture ring: cover the aperture values with a sticker bearing symbols for "beach, sunny, hazy, cloudy, shade, backlight." For the focus scale: cover the feet/meter scales with symbols of "mountains, far people groups, close people groups, a face" And the shutter dial can come already factory-engraved with just three settings "Bulb, Auto, Instantaneous" Just like a Holga: https://www.lightstalking.com/holga-film-camera/ 😆 Could also set the exposures-remaining read-out on the LCD to read "1, 2, 3, Many."

I think there will be EFCS... but I don't think EFCS only... and for size limitations this indeed could pose at risk IBIS... which I'd like very much...🙄 1 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

T25UFO Posted March 30 Share #1218 Posted March 30 1 hour ago, SrMi said: EFCS relates only to digital photography. See, knowledge matters :). Sorry for appearing stupid, but I am genuinely interested in what this means. I've been using digital Ms since the M8 (digital Canon before that) and have never heard of EFCS. Most of my photos are reasonably sharp. Any error can be attributed to a combination of 78 year old eyes not quite aligning the rangefinder, but I usually manage. Just to illustrate the point, here is a 200% crop of 'little Eddy' taken on the M11 Mono with reissue 50mm f1.2 Noctilux stopped down to f2.8. The lens is never sharp wide open but that's the lens, not me, and I find f2.8 pretty good. How would knowledge of EFCS helped me to obtain a sharper photo? Welcome, dear visitor!

evikne Posted March 30 Share #1220 Posted March 30 Chat GPT is our friend: In photography, EFCS stands for Electronic First Curtain Shutter. It is a feature found in many modern digital cameras that helps reduce shutter shock and improve image sharpness, especially at slower shutter speeds. How EFCS Works: Traditional mechanical shutters have two curtains: the first one opens to expose the sensor, and the second one closes to end the exposure. With EFCS, instead of using a physical first curtain, the camera starts the exposure electronically by activating the sensor. The mechanical second curtain still closes to end the exposure. Advantages of EFCS: ✅ Reduces vibration – Since there is no physical first curtain moving, it eliminates shutter shock that can cause motion blur, especially at slower shutter speeds. ✅ Improves sharpness – Beneficial for high-resolution sensors and telephoto lenses where even small vibrations can affect detail. ✅ Quieter operation – The first curtain does not move, making the shutter sound softer. ✅ Faster response – Reduces shutter lag compared to a fully mechanical shutter. Limitations of EFCS: ⚠️ Can cause bokeh distortion – At very high shutter speeds (1/2000s or faster), EFCS can cause uneven exposure or distortion in out-of-focus highlights (bokeh). ⚠️ Not ideal for flash photography – Some cameras disable EFCS when using flash to prevent sync issues. Some cameras allow you to choose between EFCS, mechanical shutter, or full electronic shutter, depending on the shooting situation. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
