I am looking into the Pentax K3 II to replace my aging Canon 550D. However, there are a couple of points for which I am not been able to obtain information searching around the internet.
Currently I am using my Canon for mineral macrophotography, for this purpose the camera is mounted on a bellows and microscope objectives are used to obtain the needed magnification. The camera is also used for photomicrography, being attached to a microscope with a relevant adapter. As many other Canon models, the 550D uses a EFCS when shooting in live view mode, thus eliminating / minimizing the vibrations produced by the shutter mechanism.
I understand that the Pentax K3 II uses an electronic shutter while set on the Pixel Shift mode, otherwise it could not render the high definition pictures that this mode is aiming for. What I am not able to find out is if this electronic shutter can be enable under conditions other than Pixel Shift, nor I get information about the K3 II using a EFCS mode on Live View . Does anybody owning this camera can share information about this?
Thanks for your help.
