HiRes mode uses electronic shutter. In the E-M5ii the maximum shutter speed is 1/20sec and in the E-M1ii is 1/50sec (slightly lower at high ISO).

your information is totally wrong . hi res only uses the lower shutter speed for FLASH photography.

I think he's referring to the readout speed, not the shutter speed. But since multiple exposures are combined over multiple readouts, it's not a bad approximation. A high shutter speed would just make sharp artifacts.

No hes quoting the flash sync speeds for both cameras when using electronic shutter.

Don is right. I got it wrong.

I use HiRes mode in macro work where I use flash as my light source and have the restricted sync speeds I mentioned.

In general photography without flash HiRes mode has no such limitation. I forgot this when I posted above. Sorry for any confusion I caused.

Isnt it a bugger, i love my macro as well , and was disapointed about slow sync as well as the f8 restriction. The only thing i can think of is a off camera led light ? For macro hi res.
