Samsun NX20 electronic shutter: did you know?
1

So a while back I had asked about a few Samsung cameras, mostly about the impending NX1. One feature I missed when I used MFT was E shutter for multiple reasons. While those who replied had varying opinions, it seemed due to lack of proof, the feature was missing. Well, I found in a read, something to confuse the topic.

According to IR, at least the NX20, does have E shutter but only at specific SS. It turns out it's somewhat similar to the EM1, where it uses electronic at faster SS, in this case, once you go faster than 1/4000. Here is what IR says:

The Samsung NX20 is a relatively nimble camera to use overall, but it probably wouldn't be my first choice to shoot sports or action, despite its spritely 1/8,000th of second maximum shutter speed. (Note: The Samsung NX20 hits that fast speed via an electronic shutter; the mechanical shutter tops out at 1/4,000.)

Now im wondering, does the NX30 also have this and nobody has noticed? Perhaps the NX300, or 3000? As it pertains to the NX1 and what I was hoping for, it shows they can implement it into their cameras, if only it were a feature we could toggle. Anybody here able to confirm or deny this with an NX20?
