An electronic shutter operates by turning the cameras imaging sensor on and off to control exposure.An electronic shutter has no mechanical parts, which allows it to achieve faster frame rates than a mechanical shutter.
Should I use mechanical or electronic shutter?
Unless there is artificial light or any other moving objects, when shooting landscapes you can use electronic shutter. Street and documentary photography can do with electronic shutter as you can shoot quietly. However if there is artificial light in the scene, then switch to mechanical shutter.
What is the advantage of an electronic shutter?
Unlike mirrors or mechanical shutters, electronic shutters are capable of silent shooting as they do not generate drive noise. This advantage expands the camera’s range to decisive sporting moments and other scenes that you may have hesitated to shoot before because of shutter noise.
What is an electronic front curtain shutter?
The electronic front curtain shutter function is available on newer camera models. It shortens the time lag between shutter releases and helps reduce shutter noise when taking pictures. This function can be turned on or off under the camera menu settings.
Do electronic shutters wear out?
No an electronic shutter doesn’t have a limited life as far as shutters go. It does have a life span as far as any electronics goes. A dSLR can have either a 100% electronic or a mixed mechanical and electronic shutter.

Enthusiast-level DSLRs are normally rated for 150,000 to 250,000 actuations while professional DSLRs are rated for 300,000 to 500,000 actuations.

What is difference between mechanical and electronic shutter?
A mechanical shutter uses conventional front and rear shutter curtains located in front of the sensor which open and close to produce the exposure.An electronic shutter has no mechanical parts, which allows it to achieve faster frame rates than a mechanical shutter.
Are mirrorless cameras better than DSLRs?
Mirrorless cameras have the advantage of usually being lighter, more compact, faster and better for video; but that comes at the cost of access to fewer lenses and accessories. For DSLRs, advantages include a wider selection of lenses, generally better optical viewfinders and much better battery life.
Are mirrorless cameras quiet?
Not only are mirrorless cameras usually lighter and smaller than their DSLR counterparts, but they’re quieter, as well. With no mirror to slap up and down, street photographers, as well as wedding and theater photographers can now shoot virtually unnoticed.

How long do mirrorless cameras last?
Mirrorless cameras have shutter lives and can last anywhere from 100,000 to 400,000 shutter uses or actuations for professional models. However, mirrorless cameras can last longer than mirrored cameras since electronic shutters don’t add to actuations.
How many shutter counts is too much?
Fewer than 10,000 shots on a camera that is 2-5 years old is very low, with the normal amount being around 30,000-50,000. If a camera has a very high count of 100,000 or more, it’s probably best avoided, especially because this number will also give you a little insight into the owner’s use of the camera.

Yes, mirrorless has shorter battery life than DSLR. But do you really need continuous shooting of more than 300 photos without changing the battery? There is a larger number of camera accessories and third party camera lenses for DSLR than for mirrorless.
Can shutter count be reset?
The actual shutter count is stored in memory in the camera and users cannot reset it. As Mike indicated, resetting the stored shutter count would essentially be fraud, unless it was done by Canon service for good reason.
