Electronic shutter article

Nina Bailey wrote a great article about this subject. On the R5, Electronic Shutter has disadvantages, especially with fast moving subjects and under artificial lighting -- the two cases when you'd most want the feature. Slowest shutter speed is 0.5 seconds. No flash possible. As technology improves, we'll likely see cameras which solve these issues.

EFCS does not have these disadvantages, although it can cause artifacts in certain corner case circumstances.
