Dodge's house is an early-1980s split-level ranch, with a large construction waste bin full of refuse in the front yard and a shutter hanging askew next to the window above the garage.

Such snapshots, which are captured by using pulses of laser light a few femtoseconds long rather than by physically clicking a shutter, are able to catch molecules in the process of reacting together.
Using the volume rocker as a shutter button is a nice touch, especially when the only alternative is to touch the viewfinder, but very few tricks are available for the camera aside from this.

Though both pack 4K CMOS imagers, there are some major differences -- the higher-end PMW-F55 has a global shutter, wider color gamut and can capture 4k, 2k or HD video internally, while the PMW-F5 records 2k and HD natively with a rolling shutter (4k requires an optional RAW recorder, as discussed below).

The pre-production model had a poor shutter button, which is a bit of a disappointment since this is usually a well used button, and considering the effort put into the external screen. (Let's hope that this'll get fixed for production models.) The reviewers found that the main keypad was great, with a not-too-rubbery feel, and the UI is an improvement in all the areas that count -- snappy, clear, and customizable.
Additional accessories include external flashes, filters, a stereo microphone, a remote shutter, HDMI mini cables and a variety of stylish straps and bags.

Forcing a company to shutter its operations for a while is rare in the West.
They do that with a conventional camera by opening up the aperture of the lens and selecting a faster shutter speed.
The LIVE MOS sensor also allows high speed burst shooting at 5 frames per second in full resolution using a mechanical shutter.
With a single shutter press, the camera takes two shots consecutively, using the first image to estimate depth information to create a dramatic three-dimensional still image.
For me, it's more of a glorified shutter release tool, but one that's really easy to integrate into my workflow (after all, I always have my phone).
