I treid HHHR with my new E-M1.3 yesterday for the first time. It is much easier to use than I thought it would be and I got really good results, I think. One question I have is whether to use the wait time. For HHHR, the maximum is 1 second, with fractions of a second also available. I set it to 0 because I think my maximum stabilization (for myself) is right when I press the shutter, and certainly not 1 entire second AFTER I have pressed it. A pretty good HHHR YouTube video on this recommends 1 second wait, here at about 9:39 (this link is queued there):

As I said, I got good results with no delay at all, but I'm wondering if anyone has experimented using a delay. The fractions of a second delays seem to be intended to minimize any shake caused by pressing the shutter, but is this really an issue? I'd think that any delay in the shutter firing would just make a person really jittery.
Back MANY years, I had an Italian WWII surplus rifle (6.5mm I think) and my father and I tried using some WWII surplus ammo with it. On many bullets, there would be a slight delay in firing, not as long as a second, but enough to make a person a nervous wreck trying to shoot with it. Plus, it was LOUD (louder than a 12 gauge!), so the whole experience was an exercise in heebie-jeebies. Of course, a delay in a shutter firing is less jarring than a delay in a gun firing, but wouldn't it also be worse than none? Yes, I could just try it, but I am just wondering if anyone is using it.
