Thanks for you explanation. This helps a lot.

It's reassuring to know that I can use my telephoto lens with e-shutter as long as my subject is still.

It doesn’t have to be perfectly still, just not moving fast across the frame. Even then, what you are likely to see is distortion, not the blurriness of hand shake. I use e-shutter all the time for photographing speakers in small seminars. The speakers are often moving slightly, but I set my minimum shutter speed to 1/250, and get pin sharp results with my Sigma 56 F1.4. Luckily, the lighting in most of the rooms doesn’t produce banding with e-shutter.

As the length of a thread approaches 150, the probability that someone will make the obvious "it's not the camera, it's the photographer" remark approaches 1.
