Something I didn't understand at the beginning about H+ watching the video of Richard Wong is that the first shot locks the exposure.

So in AF-C we got AF with locked exposure. I guess that's why it's blackout free.

On my Sony 42mpx I shoot 12FPS with AF and AE but with blackouts. If I want black out free I have to drop to 8FPS, but still I have AF + AE all time.

Well another to know about this camera.

I guess the worst case scenario of a high difference of light gathered between the 1st and the last frame could be for BIF shooters.

Some of those things do not make sense

If you use mechanical or electronic first curtain the shutter will close and you will have a blackout no wat to avoid it unless you drop out the frame

The other part is that camera make exposure and focus calculations. Normally exposure calculations are very fast so either they are actually slow here and therefore you need to give it up to leave the frame rate intact or they are fast but cant be reflected in the EVF

i dont recall another camera where you had this situation as normally exposure calculaiton is much faster than focus

I don't know but according to Richard Wong we will have AF but no AE (ie fixed Exposure) on S1R2 at H+ mode.

Let's wait for more in-depth reviews, but according to all the reviews I'm watching I'm starting to think that most of the artist involved in Lumix ecosystem are more videographers than stills shooters, so I don't know if my doubts will be lifted anytime soon. Hopefully before an A7Rvi announcement :-D

Something tells me that Richard may have misspoke. He said that the exposure is locked in H+, but he also characterized H+ as the fastest burst mode, which it is not.

It would not surprise me to learn that exposure is locked at 40 fps (SH and SH Pre). But, hopefully, at 10 fps (H+) the exposure resets in each frame. Hopefully Richard can help resolve this.
