Hi,

Is there a way to only use the electronic shutter, so that the camera remains totally silent ?

NX300 has a burst mode: 30 frames of low resolution 5MPx JPGs with 10, 15, or 30 fps. This mode is not much useful because you cannot stop the sequence once started. However, the mechanical shutter is not used and the camera is completely silent during shooting.

Yeah, it's unfortunate they don't allow forcing electronic shutter for other modes in the software, wouldn't it also allow for HSS with flash if one was using electronic shutter?  I mean, the software would need to make some other adjustments to support it, but isn't the 1/180 otherwise due to physical restrictions of the shutter mechanism?
