Just a correction from my prior post - it does appear Fujifilm have redesigned the shutter. The cutoff is now 1/2000 instead of 1/1000 at F2 for the latest V version.

My X100F cuts off at 1/1000 at F2.

http://fujifilm-dsc.com/en/manual/x100v/menu_shooting/shooting_setting/index.html#shutter_type

"When MS MECHANICAL SHUTTER is selected, exposure may be less accurate at wider apertures (the maximum shutter speed varies with the aperture, from 1/2000s at f/2 to 1/4000 s at f/4.5). The timing of the switch from MECHANICAL SHUTTER to ELECTRONIC SHUTTER when uMECHANICAL + ELECTRONIC is selected also varies with aperture."

So the OP was most likely on MS.

The physical shutter is still limited at 1/1000, but I believe Fujifilm are doing an ES hybrid to get to 1/2000, then full ES to get faster than that wide open.

Either way it messes with bokeh and should indicate the the OP that the built-in ND is there for good reason.

They went 4 stop with the ND for the V vs 3 stop on earlier models.

Your time is limited, so don't waste it arguing about camera features - go out and capture memories - Oh, and size does matter - shoot MF
