Yes, but E-shutter is useless if there is motion in the frame or when using flash. And the G7 E-shutter mode is only 10 bits. The G85 E-shutter mode is a full 12 bits (like the mechanical shutter mode in both cameras).

Are you sure of that? I certainly notice increased noise in the shadows when using E shutter. I would have bet it is only 10 bits.

I read that it was 12 bits -- I don't have a G85. Look at a Raw file on RawDigger and you can see where the missing codes start.

My G7 definitely had 10-bit e-shutter Raw files. My G9 is 12-bit.
