Why the ball is not round on following crop:

enter image description here

SS = 1/60

What's going on?

    The duplicate explains this as an effect of mechanical rolling shutter. Here, I bet it's because the electronic shutter was used. – mattdm Nov 23 '15 at 15:42

    It's not really the same question - this question is "Why is the ball not round" to which the answer is "Because of the rolling shutter effect". The marked duplicate is "What is the rolling shutter effect?" – Steve Ives Aug 25 '16 at 11:53

  • Rolling shutter at 1/60? What is the sync speed of the camera? – Michael C Nov 24 '15 at 09:12
  • @MichaelClark, see the effect in video (30 FPS probably): https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LVwmtwZLG88 And in photo in question we have movement in opposite directions which make the relative speed much faster – Romeo Ninov Nov 24 '15 at 10:41
  • 30fps does not necessarily equal a shutter speed of 1/30 second. The time the sensor is collecting photons could be much shorter. And the movement here is in the same direction. Images projected by the lens are reversed/mirrored on the sensor: the top of the sensor is the bottom of the image and vice versa. Ball is going up and the sensor is reading out from top of sensor/bottom of image to bottom of sensor/top of image. – Michael C Nov 24 '15 at 11:54
