I typically shoot with the silent electronic shutter for a number of reasons. One, I assume it produces less vibration than the mechanical shutter, it is faster and (I think) it does not add to the shutter count on the camera. I do not know about that last item so if that is wrong it would be nice to know.
What I am a bit puzzled about is the anti-shock shutter. I assume that the electronic shutter is, by defintion, also an anti-shock shutter and when I use the anti-shock shutter itself I hear a shutter sound which makes me wonder if the anti-shock shutter is a mechanical shutter modified to produce less vibration than the normal mechanical shutter (my old Canon had that setting). So, a couple of basic questions.
1. Is the anti-shock shutter a mechanical shutter? Or an electronic one?
2. Is the anti-shock shutter any more vibration free than the electronic shutter? Or is the electronic shutter more vibration free? It seems obvious to me that an electronic shutter would provide less vibration than any dampened mechanical shutter but I have learned over my life that much that I believe to be obvious is not, in fact, true.
3. Does the electronic shutter add to the shutter count? How do I determine the shutter count on an Olympus camera?
Thanks in advance.
