x100v bokeh much less pleasing than x100t? ('restless')

Re: Don't use ES

interesting. thanks. I've wanted to do a more thorough bokeh test myself too. i did a quick one in a parking lot once and above 1/500 was obviois jitter to me. but if you use ms+es, why would it use the es at only 1/1000? does it know the limit of the shutter and automatically switch to es when the leaf shutter isn't fast enough? i had assume it kicked in only aftrr the max mechanical shutter was met, which on the x100v i thought was 1/2000 or 1/4000... that seems like what my xt30 does, but maybe I'm wrong.

i was always off put by that big time as i lost some very nice candid portrait shots once indoors where it caused the light to band. found out it was the es and what effects it can cause and turned it off ever since. but i may need to try it on the x100v. i never noticed it on the xt30 before that issue so it must have been decent most of the time.

also, are you using a lens hood?
