A question about a mirror less camera regarding shutter.

I have a Canon EOS R50, a mirrorless camera, which also seems shutterless - If I take pictures of, for example, an airplane with a spinning propeller, will I still get that "strange rubber propeller" effect? 1) the camera may have a shutter and I just don't recognize it or 2) the sensor is read in such a way as to produce the...

Thanks. So I am guessing the shutter is only present when actually taking a picture since the view-finder is fed from the sensor?

waspentalive OP ,

So with the 2nd type shutter, The sensor is exposed and then the shutter closes, the sensor is read in darkness so the image on it does not change. Then the shutter opens and I start seeing what the camera sees in the view-finder-eyepiece?

Nice focus idea! I like depth-of-field feature photography a lot myself.

waspentalive OP ,

I just checked to see if Touch and Drag was on - it was off.
I turned off "whole screen servo", but I am not sure what that really is, I thought it was for video.

waspentalive OP ,

I put the focus marker on the subject where I want the focus to be, then I would hold the shutter button down part way and re-compose the shot, then press the shutter button the rest of the way to shoot.

waspentalive OP ,

I see - Getting that shot is a lot harder than mine - trees and flowers don't move as fast as racecars. My eye is especially pleased by shots that use depth of field.

So there might be a way for me to designate a subject and then have the camera watch that subject while it moves through shadow or bright light and also maintain proper focus while I decide the proper framing and the moment to record?

waspentalive OP ,

Thanks!

I tried several things and lost track of some of them. It seems my focus point is staying put now - it is just off-center but close enough to make me happy.

waspentalive OP ,

Can I put focus on the "record video" button as I do not use the video features of my camera? Just not into video.
