So you got yourself a Mirrorless Camera. Well, this week I am here to warn you... DON'T DO THIS when shooting Mirrorless. I'll be teaching you this Electronic Shutter Photography FAIL and how to avoid it in your photographs.
So we recently switched to Mirrorless Sonys from our Canon DSLRs and had to learn this the hard way. Despite allowing faster continuous shooting, Electronic Shutter is actually slower than a Mechanical Shutter. This can cause a rolling shutter effect, prominent with fast moving objects and artificial lighting.
Welcome to our brand new series F*CK UP Friday, where we share all of our spectacular fails of our Photography and Videography careers to hopefully save you from our cringeworthy experiences. This week we talk Electronic Shutter.
We all make mistakes, and it definitely makes us better creators. Here is to celebrating trying and failing! Let us know what you think of our new series, if you like the format, and what you want to see from us next week. Lots of Love, Sal & Bart.
