What are the Side Effects of Shortened Release Lag-Time on the E-M1?

Not owning an E-M1 I'm purely guessing, but it sounds like a "soft release" that shortens the travel of the shutter button activation. I remember reading about it on one of the reviews but I forgot which one...

I don't think it would affect shutter shock per se, but it might affect your handholding stability.

 

did not see the lowers battery life hmmmm I have it checked have to try testing both ways now
I was under the idea it shortened black out time ?

 

The E-P5 has this option as well, so I would guess it came along as a feature of the new 1/8000 shutter mechanism. It probably just keeps continuous power on the circuitry that drives the shutter.

 

yeah that to but I guess what we might notice is less black out time cause of that hahahaha or what I read into it at least

whats funny is I like the feel and sound better with it on normal ? not sure again like the AF tracking thing we need more details from OLY

what do you think about the sound and feel compared ? its like that double sound when its on short and the single sound when its on normal ?

still got some playing to do with various settings

 

but do you notice it kinda has a double sound almost ? where normal is more one noise ? I do think its a touch quieter in the on mode almost like the canons quite mode where it breaks up the sound

both sound fine in a sense its more there is a for sure change in the sound

 

I had a bad grip little do I realize I have a bad camera and just found out hahahhahah joking I hope
listen to it in single mode
put it in low continuous and single fire it for sure noticeable

 

hmmmmm its not a radical double but on mine at least for sure kinda a two tone sound compared will have to try to record it or see if others notice it ?

 

The double sound is the slow shutter option (designed to reduce shutter shock). That mode is present on the E-M5 and E-P5 and does result in the "double" sound others describe.

 

you are thinking the antishock setting under the E part of the menu this is something new for the E-M1 the E-M5 did not have
this on the E-M1 is under the C release menu area

 

first phase of the shutter ? maybe the 2nd part I hear and more prominent in continuos mode is getting that ready again ?

works on the principal chip is exposed when button pressed shutter closes and chip is refreshed or emptied and then it opens and then goes back to the ready state

so shock could mess up what it is seeing somehow since it does not have a clearing phase on the chip and instead is so sensitive to the way its ready to do a wipe ?
shutter closes wipes chip clean shutter goes by now instead shutter stays open and electronically wipes just in front of the lower part of the shutter passing in phases so very precise and maybe touchy electronically ?

kinda wonder if it somehow does not close and wipe the sensor but somehow just wipes it as the shutter is going past almost like a trailing effect of wiping ? don't know just trying to think what is going on but not going to bother with it for the shock thing for some reason I read it but did not read the shock thing !
sony has this in the ned correct ?

 

might get a balloon and have my kids bounce it try to catch it right when they hit it in the air works well cause its slow coming down kinda gives you better timing hahhaha


really curious how its doing what it is and why its sensitive and more important does it matter ? I know sometimes that small lag is there because I have missed shots but having it more fragile in a sense of having to reset and eat battery is not good !

 

I agree the shutter sound changes, but I can't tell if anything else changes.
