Yes, no wind lever, so my guess is the shutter is either an electromagnetic vertical travel bladed shutter or more likely, a purely electronic shutter (such as in most digital P&S cameras). The advantage of the latter is live preview, which the R-D1 does not have. Karen -- Karen Nakamura http://www.photoethnography.com/ClassicCameras/
