I currently now use an E-M1 mk2, sold the mk1. Which is better for reducing the rolling shutter effect, the A9 or the E-M1 mk2?Thanks mazor, much appreciated.
To answer your questions, yes, yes.
please have a look here.

Even with the Sony A9 and its silent/electronic shutter I still can spot rolling shutter effects, but these distortions are greatly reduced and far less noticeable. Most Hummingbird shots don't seem to be affected by that. So shooting the A9 at 20 fps with the silent shutter, the associated benefits outweigh those of the mechanical shutter with max 5 fps.
Which cameras do you use. Cheers, Karl-Heinz.
Thanks mazor. The A9 is better by quite a bit.I currently now use an E-M1 mk2, sold the mk1. Which is better for reducing the rolling shutter effect, the A9 or the E-M1 mk2?
K-H,Thanks mazor. The A9 is better by quite a bit.
Shutter readout time for E-M1 mk2: 1/60s
Shutter readout time for ......... A9: 1/150s or 1/160s as measured by Jim Kasson
Shutter readout time mech shutter: 1/300s
Rolling shutter effects are still pretty frequent and pronounced for the silent shutter of the E-M1 mk2.
In contrast they are very infrequent and far less noticeable for the silent shutter of the A9.
Of course when using the mechanical shutter in those two cameras rolling shutter effects are basically non-existent.
So, when shooting Hummers with the E-M1 mk2, I now use its noisy mechanical shutter.
When shooting Hummers with the A9, I now use its silent shutter.
Nothing pertinent at all K-H; I should have added a fewMany thanks Ian.
Could you please explain the pertinent points about your image? TIA.
