I don't think it is possible to have no blackout with a shutter. Think about it, the shutter blocks off the sensor with mirrorless.

I think Sony has a sensor or something like that which bypasses the shutter. I'm not sure but the gang Fred Miranda talked about it. No blackout at all apparently.

That would be expensive and not work well. The whole idea of mirrorless is to not have anything between the back of the lens and the sensor.

I'm assuming this is not E shutter but I could be wrong.

You don't hear any shutter in the video, and the A9 is only "blackout-free" when using an electronic shutter.

The future is going to be backside illuminated (high-end Sony, Nikon, and R3 have already) and eventually global electronic shutter. As these technologies greatly reduce/eliminate rolling shutter combined with flash and illumination synchronization will see mechanical shutters go the way of DLSR flip mirrors (Nikon has already eliminated mechanical shutters on their highest-end models).
