Any IQ compromise in using electronic shutter?

ES for astro?

I also find this question interesting. Thanks to the OP.

Is there a compromise in DR? That's what I have once read but I am not sure whether it is true or relevant or not.

Is there any reason not to use ES for example for astro or for macro?

I often use it for macro, particularly for stacking. Never seen an issue. But never made a direct comparison yet.

Advantage of the ES over the MS in such situations (ss between let's say 1/125 s and few s) is of course no shock/vibration at all. With shorter or longer ss, shutter shock is less a problem.

And when stacking dozens of frames or more, it's more pleasant to not have the constant shutter noise.

BR,

Martin
