The shutter sound on my X-T1 is really loud regardless of the shutter speed. So i have been using electronic shutter on the lowest sound setting, that makes it sound like the leaf shutter on the X100 series. Quieter shutter sound is my personal preference and NOT due to shooting in quite environments (churches, weddings etc).

I only shoot jpegs of still subjects/people (no video at all), am I compromising on the image quality?

Thanks

If you're shooting static subjects and you're not panning, using the electronic shutter should be the same as using the mechanical shutter. Do some testing and see for yourself.
