Which Shutter Should You Use? Mechanical vs Electronic vs EFCS on Fuji X-H1
Тәжірибелік нұсқаулар және стиль
In this video we will go through three common shutter types: mechanical shutter, electronic shutter and electronic front curtain shutter. I will use Fujifilm X-H1 as an example because it has all three shutters. We will be looking at the pros and cons of each shutter and when to use each shutter in a certain situation.
Mechanical Shutter
- Shutter Shock
Electronic Shutter
- Rolling Shutter
-- Distortion
-- Banding
Electronic Front Curtain Shutter
- Less shallow depth of field
Hope you enjoy.

EFCS for long exposure and landscape
This was a really solid video on so many levels. Super helpful.
Best video I found about this topic. Much appreciated!
This was a great video explaining the different shutters. Thanks homie!
Thanks a lot! finally after about 4 videos I understood the differences between all the shutter modes!
thanks for sharing mate. your illustration is very straightforward and easily understood
Thanks for the awesome summary at the end! Best video on this subject so far!
Thanks a lot for sharing this man ♥️ love this one !
Great job. Well organized and presented. Thanks.
Great explanation mate, well done.
The best explanation of shutter modes that I've seen! Thanks very much!
Thanks for explaining the shutter options and reasons where each is better. This I just another of your many valuable videos on the xt series which I save for future reference 🙂
Thanks a lot. I've been clarified about different types of shutter on my Fujifilm
Excellent video! Thank you for clearing this up for me.
Excellent video Ming, in every way You explained it all really clearly and you also put the bullet points in the text - what's not to like? Subscribed
Excellent concise script, A+ production value. Best explanation of shutters. Thank you for sharing.
wowwowowowowowow i like the explanaition so much the first one to explain it this clear thanks brother
This was great. First day with a Fuji T-2. Many questions.
This sums it up great. Now I know which video I'm going to show people if they're asking about this topic.
Amazing explanation, thanks so much!
Super well explained, thanks for that! 🙏
Such a perfect explanation! Thank you so much!
Best explanation I've seen of this subject. Thanks for preparing it.

Great explanation here. Thank you so much.
Very comprehensive presentation. Thumbs up!
Ming, even though your most excellent video is three years old it continues to educate and help others. My new camera has all three types of shutters with no explanation other than how to turn them on and off, so your in depth video is an outstanding teaching aid. Thank you for taking the time to make this video and pass your knowledge to the less experienced.
Exactly what I am looking for. Thanks man!
Thanks for the explanation Ming
Thanks for posting. Excellent explanation.
Thank you for sharing. Very good explanation.
Best explanation of shutters. Thanks.
My fave explanation so far, seems for me EFCS is the best option. Thanks for the video!
Thank you for explaining this so well
Excellent information and video. Thank you.
Loved your explanation! Thank you!
Really excellent explanation - thank you !
I love the graphics. Very helpful.
Great vid Ming! Thanks.
Thanks. This sums up why I got those lines/bands and some warping when setting my shutter to silent (and those no longer fully mechanical) when shooting indoor stage shows. Shooting on a Sony a7iv.
Thanks... Very clear yor information.
I think the difference between mechanical and EFC shutter can be explained by parallaxe. With mechanical shutter the first and second curtain have the same parallaxe. With EFC the first curtain has no parallaxe and the second curtain has parallaxe. The mechanical shutter sits some millimeters before the sensor, while the electronic first curtain is exactly 0mm before the sensor. So this effect should be most pronounced with fast shutter speed and bright wide angle lenses, where the light doesnt hit the sensor in a 90° angle. And there is another effect: When shutterspeed is high, the there is only a small slit where light passes to the sensor. The shutter blades are matte black and dont reflect much light. The sensor itself reflects a lot of light, so when electronic shutter or EFC is used, this can give unwanted reflections in the rear lenses.
Thank you so much for describing this ❤
Finally I understood! Unfortunatelly I met with shutter shock, that is why using ef or es. Thanks for expanation!
Thank you for posting this excellent explanation of the different shutter types.

Finaly found a reasonable video why i got flickwring.. i use always silent shooting. And now i see that if i want to shoot fast object or concerts mechanical is a way! Thanks
I watch 3 videos before I got the full understanding of this subject here. The example shots helped a lot. Thanks for that...Btw mine has Auto setting but no Front Curtain. I wonder if I should let the camera decides
4:11 So glad you mentioned global shutter. The only real solution, especially for video.
Great video :) Now i so much better understand diferents between them. Thank you maestro from Slovakia :)
very good video, dude! Thanks!

Thank you for showing the differences between the shutter types. I have been worried about switching to electronic shutter, but now that I know the differences, I will try using it with more confidense.

mohammed samsheer nope not at all, it’s just a little chunky XT2 with a much needed grip for bigger lenses like my 16-55f2.8 it only get v big when you have a large zoom and the battery grip
Thank you for this :)
Thank you!
thank you
Its almost as if using EFCS is causing the aperture to ever so slightly close down...this is consistent with the dual observation of reduced exposure and increased depth of field with EFCS! A very interesting optical phenomenon...must be pursued further in my opinion. BTW, Ming was my favourite villian from Flash Gordon!
Thanks
Nice video.

Thanks for the good explanation. I have a Fuji X-T20 which only has MS and ES (not ESFC). Apart from the "silence benefit", when should I use ES? Thanks in advance.
Well done Ming - Shutters/Flash differences would be good if feasible. Cheers AU.

Ian Johnstone Did some more research and it seems mechanical shutter would be the best for flash.
Presume merchanical shutters wear out too.... I guess there is a predicted shutter count life. informative, thanks.

excellent 🔝
ES is good if you are in very bright light, and want a low f-stop, f 1.8 or whatever. For mechanical shutter, one would need to use an ND filter.
nice
Hi Ming, nice video! I'm using X-T2 and I shoot a lot of long exposure, do u think mechanical shutter will cause shutter shock in this shooting situation as I notice i'm not getting very sharp images from 10-24mm lens
Thx
Electronic shutter is also much faster than mechanical shutter, at least as far as I know for cameras with "leaf" shutters, like my Fujifilm. Therefore, if you need faster consecutive shots, electronic can do this. In addition, if you are using a fast lens like the f1 50mm, without a neutral density filter of some kind to decrease exposure time, you might need to use the electronic shutter to avoid getting photos that are too bright or washed out. That's all I know that might be useful.
Great video, thanks! Nit-picking here, but the photos were taken "by" you and "with" the camera. Lesson I learned 1st day in photography class, "you" are the artist, not the camera. :)
So the question I have to anybody is when shooting street photography which is normally what I do what shutter settings do you use our use electronics plus mechanical shutter
Tahjs Ming for the insight on shutterdeiffereces, I ues a Sony A99 I I and use the 1:1 preview to detrmine if grain and s harpness are acceptable . Even uo yo 4:1 si I amsatisfied withe output and color, ( tin your application is of worthy consideartaio, Dorry my keyboard nedds to be xixed,
Graphic is very nice
does this affect in movie mode too? because for sony A7 III the setting is in the movie section....
how do these shutter types compare in relation to shutter count on the camera?
Thank you for the Video :) I have one Question regarding the Mechanical Shutter tho. It offen happend to me, that using the xh1 and the Mechanical shutter the preview (so befor i take the photo, despite if it is auto or manual or on the display or the finder) looks perfect, but in the result everything is way to bright (on the pc and again the display and finder). Therefore i offen have to use settings with which i almost can't se what is on the display so the endresult is usable. This is impossible to use for fast moving objects tho, because i can't even really see what ist on the screen. I hope my explanation makes sence and somebody could help me with that problem.
