Mechanical or electronic shutter, any way to tell ???

So I got my rental R7 yesterday, and WoW ! I'm going to have a LOT to talk about.... Some fantastic, and some horrible... (but easy to work around)

Anyway, I had my first little test session yesterday, and I started out shooting mechanical shutter, since I always use this with my R5, and never have a problem. But it was seeming like even at higher shutter speeds, I was getting a LOT of blurred images... shutter slap ? Definitely talk about that in depth later.

But pretty quickly into my session, I switched to electronic shutter, and WoW ! The difference was night and day ! I started taking all kinds of tack sharp shots at 1280mm 1/40th ! (tripod, of course)

Problem is, I don't remember exactly what image # I switched to electronic ? Sure wish Id have made a note of that. Just going by the images, which went from garbage, to OMG after #0156... Id have to guess, I changed it between image number 156 and 157, but Id like to confirm this.

So my $10K question is, is there anyplace in the exif info, or even on the camera, where I can see whether the image was shot with mechanical, or electronic shutter ???
