E shutter is 12 bit raw. On the RP, e-shutter is only available in a creative auto setting called “Silent Shutter”. The camera is in full control of all exposure settings there. You can’t even use exposure compensation. It also provides no advantage in frame rate on the RP.

The only other option is electronic first curtain.  There is no full mechanical shutter. Good news with EFCS is that there isn’t any rolling shutter. It’s fairly quiet. I haven’t noticed banding under artificial light like I do with e-shutter.  And it haven’t noticed any shutter shock.

You can ‘trick’ the RP into shooting a true e-shutter by doing two shot focus brackets for everything. Focus bracketing is always e-shutter but lets you use all PASM modes.
