I tried to do a similar thing with my X-T1 and a Nikon lens via an adaptor. I have no video, sorry. I did two runs: one with auto shutter speed and one with manual. Both with ISO6400 manual.

With auto exposure I got lags of 50-120ms and it felt like the average was 100ms.
With manual exposure I got lags of 30-110ms and it felt like the average was 50ms.
I remember my 2001 Nikon DSLR had this anti-mirror-shock mode, which made the shutter lag intentionally long to avoid the mirror motion from shaking the camera during exposure. The X-T1 feels kind of like that camera in anti-mirror-shock mode. Only there is no mirror.

I'm guessing that camera did not have MLU. That would be disturbing. I wish Nikon would offer MLU in their entry level's like Canon does. Then I wouldn't have to memorize as much.

I guess anti-mirror-shock mode is just another name for MLU. What that mode did is it flipped the mirror, then waited for vibration to die off, then made the shot. All together it took like 150ms instead of like 70 in regular mode.
