The mechanical 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.

Thanks

I believe electronic shutter was not available in the X-T1, but became available in the X-T2.  Is this correct?

I own a X-T3 and the electronic shutter is pretty good, but I mostly use the mechanical shutter.  I've heard that there are small sacrifices in image quality, and maybe some rolling shutter distortion if there is motion in the frame.
