Sorry. That's not correct. It's not just video. Rolling shutter is from using the electronic shutter. If you shot a moving object like a car, motorcycle, airplane propeller, you will get elongated, egg shaped wheels. Propeller blades the are extremely curved. The reason is the electronic shutter reads line by line from the sensor. If an object is moving, the readout at the bottom will be in a different location than when the reading began. That is why the big clamor for a global shutter. A sensor that is fast enough that the image is read from top to bottom at the same instant. This prevents rolling shutter. Newer cameras are getting closer but not there yet.Nikon Shooter wrote: Only when shooting in video.
Your answer said "only when shooting in video". That is not the "only when." It effects both stills and video so your initial answer was incorrect. I just explained and pointed out what it was and when it happens. I didn't supply numerous stills images showing the effect. Those are readily available online if anyone wants to search. Maybe you should research those still images yourself so you would know the effects. Whether or not the shutter speed reduces the effect depends on the speed of the object you are shooting. The faster the movement, the more pronounced the distortion.Nikon Shooter wrote: Your extended explanation says HOW it happens, Randy, as
my reply said WHEN it happens and so, was not incorrect.
