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

A little more than a year ago I had this problem in a bunch of my shots taken at a concert, where bottom half of photos was blurry:

…and the best explanation for the issue was electronic shutter, which I rarely use but that did night. I really had no good reason to use ES other than to avoid shutter noise, but it was Metallica, so wouldn’t have mattered!

Well... nothing else matters
