Bokeh balls and shutter settings - a photo on Flickriver

            On the left, a photo taken with my Sony a7iv set to electronic shutter.  On the right, it's set to mechanical shutter with e-FCS (electronic front curtain shutter mode).  

In very bright light, and the fastest shutter speeds, the mechanical/eFCS mechanism appears to "cut-off" the shape of bokeh balls.  I like to play with these settings, as I think cut-off balls look interesting in some compositions.

Snapped with a SMC Takumar 50mm f1.4 - a lens that produces lovely balls.
