[Leica] Sony Cameras Electronic first Shutter Curtain

[Frank Filippone]

There has been a flurry of talk about the use of this feature.  ( this is the discussion about distorted fast moving subjects when used with the e-shutter which migrated from discussions of noisy cameras during Pesidential news announcements)

Sony has announced a scientific paper for a imaging sensor with an A/D converter behind each sensor pixel.  Using this technology would mean that all the pixels woud be time registered at one time, and the distortion of fast moving subjects would be eliminated.

More importanty, it would also mean there is no need for a mechanical shutter mechanism.

The President’s office would again be a silent place.... or so one would hope.

Note that I have been using this e-shutter feature since I purchased my 2 Sonys..... 
I am now experimenting with the feature since it has a downside. 12 vs 14 bit color depth.

Everything is a compromise.... is it better to have more color depth at the expense of shutter shake just before the image is captured?
