I understood what you want. I answered with what is possible and useful. :-)

I don't believe that will ever be possible. To do that in the menus would be to
admit that there is a shutter shock
problem. Both Oly and Panny have been entirely mum about its existence.
References to Anti-shock in the Oly manuals are
few and terse/obscure.
Some day we will have properly programmable cameras, beyond the hacks of nice
folks like CHDK and Magic Lantern. But by
then the shutters will all be at least EFC, and it won't matter.

Page 87. The problem is that they are schitzy about the two touch control
methods on the camera. Live Control is a more
P&S style thing and SCP more 'serious'. In Custom Menu=> Submenu D=>Control
settings=>P/A/S/M, turn Live control off and
SCP on. (You may do the same for the other shooting modes, should you so wish.)

If set up as above, the OK button activates the SCP, whatever the display mode.
I have turned off most of the other display options that cycle with the Info
button. With the display button set to VF
only, the LCD stays dark except when specifically called for. In that case,
Info switches between blank screen and SCP.
I did not know that before and only discovered it today by dogged
determination of pressing buttons at semi-random until I discovered it.
I can not find anywhere in the manual where that is described.
As above, as well as pgs 22 and 39.
