Distortion in Silent Mode on A7R II and Sigma 150-600mm lens


Recommended Posts

Yesterday, I took my relatively new Sigma 150-600mm F5-6.3 DG OS HSM (Contemporary) out for test shooting at a collegiate baseball game yesterday (in Stockton, CA - the West Coast Conference Championship Tourney). This was my first sporting event with the lens. I started with the "silent shutter mode" - left that way from earlier photo sessions.  I noticed distortion - see bat detail shown in photo below. When I restored the shutter mode to "normal", the distortion appears to go away.  FYI - the Sigma lens and adapter firmware is up-to-date. Compare the two images - do you have any idea as to what might be causing this issue?
