I read that its shutter type is "Electronically-controlled vertical-travel focal-plane mechanical shutter; electronic front-curtain shutter; electronic shutter". I'm not well schooled in today's cameras. So then it has a mechanical shutter and an electronic shutter?

Like every thing today it's nearly impossible to keep up with the changing tech. As I understand it electronic shutter just uses the read out of the sensor which if it isn't fast enough can cause motion distortion. Global shutter is an electronic shutter that is able to read all the sensor information nearly instantaneously. Mechanical shutter is as were blades physically block the sensor these can be moved by an electric motor or a spring or was the replacement of the lens cap in the old days.
Somewhere I saw some thing about some mirrorless cameras using a combination of mechanical and electronic at the same time under some conditions. Hopefully some will be able to point you to good sources of the information your asking about.
