Good news from the Sony A9 Dynamic Range tested: Nearly no difference between electronic and mechanical shutter

Photonstophotos posted the final Sony A9 Dynamic Range test. It’s very good news to see that there is nearly no trade-off between the A9 electronic shutter and mechanical shutter. The A9 is probably the first camera that gives you such impressive results in electronic shutter mode.

And another good news is that the A9 has no banding with LED light as tested by Skimmel (Click here).

I am sure Sony is right now working on the issues we mentioned yesterday:

1) Banding issue on the red channel of the images when shooting on electronic shutter mode (it’s not visible in normal conditions, you have to work on extreme settings in postprocessing to see this)
2) Indicator warning should activate only when it’s really super necessary.
3) Fix the star eating bug

So far no other bugs were found on the A9.
