Re: Any quality difference between "Silent LV shoot" modes?

I use almost always use Mode 1. The main benefit over full mechanical shutter is less delay as with full mechanical shutter it has to close the shutter and reopening it to start the exposure.

There is one downside though when shooting at very high shutter speeds in this mode where you can get some weird vignetting/edge shading and bokeh effects because the electronic shutter and mechanical shutter are not on the same plane and light coming in at an angle can be shaded by the mechanical shutter closing.

It's discussed in this thread: https://www.dpreview.com/forums/thread/3814285?page=2#forum-post-56963417
