- When taking pictures with the shutter muted (aSHUTTER VOLUME), respect your subjects' image rights and right to privacy.
When using the electronic front-curtain shutter, note the following:
- Faster shutter speeds are more likely to result in uneven exposure and loss of resolution in out-of-focus areas of the frame.
The following restrictions apply when the electronic shutter is used:
- Sensitivity is restricted to values of ISO 12800–125.
- Long exposure noise reduction has no effect
- The flash will not fire unless pixel-shift multi-shot is enabled.

Pixel-shift multi-shot photography can be performed via tethered shooting. For this purpose, use FUJIFILM Pixel Shift Combiner.
The flash will synchronize with the shutter at shutter speeds of 1/25 s or slower.
The following limitations apply to the use of the pixel-shift multi-shot option:
- Pixel-shift multi-shot photography can only be performed using the electronic shutter.
- Sensitivity is restricted to a maximum of ISO 1600. Choosing higher values or a setting of AUTO results in a sensitivity of ISO 1600, while lower values remain unchanged.
- The only option available for RAW RECORDING is LOSSLESS COMPRESSED.
- Pictures taken with C (AF-C) selected for focus mode will be shot in focus mode S (AF-S). Pictures taken with S (AF-S) or M (manual) selected are shot in the chosen focus mode.
- If the subject or camera moves during shooting, the desired results may not be achieved when the shots are combined.
- ASHOOTING SETTING > FLICKER REDUCTION is automatically set to OFF.
- The value selected for exposure compensation applies to all 20 shots.
