What shutter type setting do you find best? Auto all the time? Manually choose between Mechanical and ElectronicFCS based on the situation? Thanks.
Full manual... If I didn't want the control, I could always buy a $50 point and shoot...
Wasn't sure by your answer, but I'm not referring to P, A, S, or M modes. I'm referring to the shutter modes of Auto, Mechanical shutter, or Electronic front-curtain shutter. It's d5: Shutter Type under Custom Settings.

Mechanical shutter would mostly be preferred for fast motion photos if your photos are getting rolling shutter distortion. Things like bird wings appearing bent in weird ways or auto windshield wipers bent over like they are noodles if in motion. Otherwise electronic shutter has the advantages.
I pretty much keep my Z6 in electronic front curtain all the time except to shoot with flash and then it must be switched to mechanical front curtain. Thought I'd miss the noise, but now I find it distracting. It's one of my i menu settings.
Z6 I keep it on electronic front curtain…silent mode. Unless there’s LED or halogen lights…they cause banding if you’re not careful.
