    Posted: 16 June 2023 at 17:09
I currently shoot with the a9ii and I'm capped at ISO 25,600 when using electronic shutter.

Does the a1 have that same limitation? I can't seem to find the info anywhere.

And before anyone asks...yes...I need that high of ISO for my work.

You work with Swiss cheese, I assume

Maybe one of the owners of the A1 can chime in, but Ken Rockwell mentions the limitation on his Sony A9 page and mentions nothing on his Sony A1 page.

Looking further on Ken Rockwell's site, I noticed the A7r4 and A7r5 don't have a limited ISO range with the electronic shutter. But depending on your usecase, rolling shutter might be a problem.

The rolling shutter COULD be a potential issue. The bigger issue is large file size and the limits of the electronic shutter (10fps just doesn't cut it).

I love EVERYTHING about the a9ii but the ISO capabilities. Which is becoming a big deal in what I shoot.

I did an extremely short experiment with my A1.

ISO102.400 and shutter speed 1/32.000s
It photographed
But I can say it's a little noisy

And another experiment, the same ISO but a shutter speed of 1/640s
Still a little noisy

But it functions

Success with the Swiss Cheese
Be yourself; everyone else is already taken

60mp is not that much more then 50mp, but 20fps is double 10fps.

There is a rumour that there will be a new A9iii within the next couple of months.
