Yes. If you have a straight tree or similar in the frame, it will look tilted. But then, how noisy is the mechanical shutter? I find the shutter click of the D500 useful as often as it's not because the bird looks at the camera and eye contact is better.Thanks. I will read the blog post. Coming from DSLR I'm not sure a blackout would bother me much unless it is a lot more blackout than my D500. I rarely do BIF photography and what I do is usually "environmental" shots of waterfowl lifting off from the marsh or raptors flying by. Both of which are more or less opportunistic in that I don't set out in the morning to focus on that type of photo but I won't pass it by when it presents itself.
I'm wondering if rolling shutter when in silent mode will bother me more than blackout? Silent shooting is one of the benefits I see with the EVF and Mirrorless cameras. If slower movement (i.e. a deer trotting through a field, a heron fly by, a squirrel in the trees, dragonflies flying, etc.) would trigger the rolling shutter effect or would that be a disappointment for me.???
Thanks again for the link.
