Hello, Moose! You there? Good.

I've set up an Fn key to switch quickly.
Could you double-check that range for the electronic shutter? I can't
seem to find it online. If it can't go any slower than 1/60, that's
lame. Especially since a lot of the "artificial light" banding issues
people keep complaining about would go away if they just shot at 1/30.
Florescent lights may be on or off when you shoot at >1/60. I suspect
cheap LEDs that use half-wave rectifiers would do the same. I can only
imagine these folks' chagrin when they try to photograph their TV sets
or computer monitors.
I like to photograph my friends who play classical concerts, so a silent
electronic shutter would be a godsend for me. No more waiting for loud
passages. But at least 1/30 and 1/15 is also sometimes necessary in
that environment. I hope Olympus adopts an electronic shutter, too. It
strikes me that it could be implemented as a firmware update. Although
who knows if they will make it available to an older model.
Oh, and thanks for the tip on the higher refresh rate for the E-M5
viewfinder. I've put that into my standard settings.
