I've messed around with the silent shutter function on the EOS R just a little bit, essentially just long enough to notice pretty serious banding it introduces a lot of the time. So I'm wondering, when is it even safe to use the silent shutter? It seems like the only time would be in completely natural daylight. Most of the artificial light sources we use now (LEDs or fluorescent) seem to cause banding with the electronic shutter. Would faster or slower shutter speeds mitigate it? I'm normally at about 1/100sec. when it happens.
I really hope we get past this point of having mirrorless cameras with non-global shutters soon, because frankly these current electronic shutters are kind of crap.
