Sometimes, shutter shock is bugging me. With the copy of K1 I have (one of the early K1 batches), depending on the lens and shutter speed (1/30 to 1/200), I get significantly blurred images to the point that it's like having a 16Mpixels or less camera, in that case a crop sensor camera would deliver same or better image quality. EFCS is effective to work around that problem, but this mode is only available in Live View... As I recall, the K5 have a mixed mode so that one could, for example, use live view and have autofocus done with the phase detect AF sensor.
For the time being, the solution I've found to use the OVF and avoid blurry images is to use the TAv drive mode, with shutter speed fixed at 1/200 sec. in order to avoid the 1/20 - 1/200 range. But that lead to unnecessary higher ISO which render the full frame vs apsc things not so much of a benefit.
Would there be a chance that Ricoh deliver a firmware update that makes possible to enable EFCS automatically when shutter speeds are between 1/15 and 1/200 (with OVF, the electronic front curtain would open delayed by a 1/4th sec. after the mechanical shutter is open), with or without using live view?
