Re: Shutter shock

Double image is a tell tale sign of shutter shock. In fact the shutter shock may interact with the image stabilization in a bad way. This looks a lot like the first generations of MFT camera's that suffered from this. I had my share of it with the EPL-1 until I decided to turn image stabilzation off. Like totally and always. That got rid of most of the issues.

I mean the shutter is open before the take and then in an *instant* it must CLOSE-OPEN-CLOSE and this causes a really really hefty vibration. A shockwave.

I am not sure that SS is causing your issues, but it's a possibility. Could you try to turn off IS (just as an exeriment) and see if that makes a difference?

Kind regards,

I did test with IS turned off before, and the issue disappeared. Certainly when using a tripod. For handheld photography there is of course the increased risk of blur due to regular camera shake.

I use the first curtain electronic shutter by default, which shouldn't cause as hefty a shockwave was the mechanical shutter. And even if the shutter plays a role, it should not affect the first image of a series more than subsequent ones - or should it?

Here are two test images to illustrate the issue. They are raw files converted to JPEG with DPP - without any sharpening or other post-processing.

First image of a burst.

Second image of the same burst.
