Do you guys mostly use electronic shutter instead of mechanical, I can see advantages like avoiding wear and tear of the shutter mechanism. What is the general rule for that? electronic 99% of the time and for fast moving objects like cars, birds, planes etc mechanical

Mainly ES. I shoot lots of fast moving subjects and ES works much of the time. Depending on various factors I switch to EFSC which covers the rest of the time. I don’t shoot full mechanical on my R cameras. Hopefully in a few tears ES will be all that is needed.
