Electronic Shutter

An electronic shutter is a method by which a camera controls the duration light falls on the image sensor, without using moving mechanical parts. Instead of physical blades that open and close, the sensor simply electronically starts and stops recording the image. Since it contains no moving parts, its operation is completely silent, which is advantageous when photographing in situations requiring discretion. It also allows for extremely short exposure times, which are unattainable with a mechanical shutter. A disadvantage can be the so-called "rolling shutter" effect. In this process, data is read from the sensor line by line, which can cause distortion of fast-moving objects in the image. Another phenomenon can be banding, which appears under artificial lighting and is caused by the flickering of the light source. The use of flash with an electronic shutter is also often limited.
