Thanks for mentioning the E-M1. I realized I'd never seen a menu item
on shutter shock on the E-M1 and hadn't looked for it. I assumed that
the shutter shock entry was gone and that use of EFC was automatic. Not
so. After checking it out I realized that EFC was not enabled nor was
anti-shock delay enabled. So I turned on EFC which is enabled by
setting anti-shock delay to 0 (non-obvious). Strangely, this also has
the side-effect of disabling sequential shooting modes (also
non-obvious). Normally not a problem but I have been thinking about
using the time-lapse mode* to catch a picture of turtles in our pond.
I'll have to remember to turn off EFC when I do this. Whilst running
through the menus I also discovered that I had failed to turn IS back on
after having it disabled for tripod shooting. Too many things to
remember for an old fart. :-)
* It was a pleasant surprise to learn that the E-M1 has a built-in
intervalometer which the manual refers to as time-lapse shooting. One
can set the number of frames, start time delay from present, time
interval between shots and whether to incorporate the shots into a
movie. My old Minolta A1 could do this but this is the first camera
I've ever owned since then (2005) that can do it.
The turtles in the pond sun themselves on a culvert that feeds rainwater
into the pond. If the turtles see me, even if I'm 100 feet away, they
all dive into the pond. I think the only way I'm ever going to get a
picture of any of them is if I'm not there.

The E-M5 II has a very transparent setting of "Zero second Anti-Shock",
which uses the EFC up through 1/320 sec. and mechanical above that. So
it has neither that funny sounding delayed shutter of the Mark I nor
image blur from shutter shock. I'm under the impression also that the
E-M1 introduced a revised shutter mechanism with less shock, but don't
know what would verify.
