Take pictures using the electronic shutter. Use for shutter speeds faster than 1/4000 s or in settings where the sound of the shutter would be unwelcome. The electronic shutter can be used in single-frame mode and self-timer modes and for frame rates as high as about 14.1 fps in sequential shooting modes. This setting is only available in P/A/S/M/ART modes.

• Note that due to the electronic shutter, the subject may appear to be distorted in photographs if camera moves quickly during shooting or when shooting fast-moving subjects.
