Fix Canon R5 Mark II not honouring the "Shutter at Shutdown" option if Electronic Shutter is chosen.

[C-Cella]

For the Canon R5 Mark 2 it is possible to set the "Shutter at Shutdown" to either "Closed" or "Open".
This option is NOT honoured when Electronic Shutter is used (ES)

The camera offers 2 ways to "shutdown".

1. Power Off : camera is off BUT can be awakened in this state by half pressing shutter or pressing other buttons.

2. Shutdown using the "Power/multi-function lock switch".
In this case the camera can't be awakened by half pressing shutter or pressing other buttons.

If the camera is in Shutdown (2) the "Shutter at shutdown" option should be honoured even if the user has chosen ES.

This can no doubt be fixed via firmware.

I was not doubting you.

Then my brand new camera is malfunctioning because if I set ES the shutter is Open at Shutdown.

I now see what's happening.

I have set "Silent Shutter Function : On" even in ES and this makes the Shutter at Shutdown always be Open.

I was so focuses on the shutter type I didn't look at the other options.

Huge moment of stupidly on my part.

But you did find it, I hadn't thought about that one, all I could think it must be a setting.

Yes but still stupid me.

Perhaps at Shutdown via "Power/multi-function lock switch" the shutter should be "Closed".
Else when camera is in "Standby" a.k.a. "Sleeping" a.k.a."Power Off (not Shutdown)" the shutter would stay "Open".
