100% electronic shutter with a slow read speed for the R7 seems explanatory enough without any pictures attached showing what constitutes terrible.

What I don’t get is why people post questions like this without at least testing like shooting conditions first to determine if that might be the issue. Switch to mechanical shutter on the R7 and see if it’s better. Or at least EFCS if trying to avoid shutter shock

Impo, the R7 is practically useless in Mechanical Shutter mode. I’ve heard a few people say it imparts some amount of shutter shake at practically ALL shutter speeds, and in my brief trial of MS, that seems to be true. If I need to shoot something with MS, I’ll use my R5.

I’ve shot thousands of shots in EFCS (why would you use full mechanical?) with my R7, and not a single one had any trace of shutter shock.
