I see you have a hot discussion with Paul. May I interrupt you?

Shutter shock on my EM1 is 100% cured with "AntiShock=0" in the menu and "AntiShock Single" in the ControlPanel's shutter mode. See my famous thread about this ...

Either your EP5 sample behaves very different from any other camera or you fell into the same pit as others:

It is not enough to set AntiShock=0 in the menu, additinally you have to change your shutter mode to "Single Frame AntiShock" (in your SuperControlpanel grid, it is the rectangle symbol with the caret to the left, like this <>[] instead of this [] )

Maybe you already knew this before and did it like this, but you did not mention shutter mode at all in your text and this makes me wondering ....

Well ... I wouldn't call it a "hot" discussion, but I guess if allowed to continue, it could indeed get heated up. Anyway ... yes, that is how my camera is set up. After some further testing this afternoon with different lenses, I can safely say the following:

1) It doesn't happen at all when I use my Olympus Zuiko 14-54 w/adapter (although the AF, expectedly, is incredibly slow)

2) It doesn't happen at all when I use my Olympus Zuiko 25mm f/2.8 w/adapter (the AF is on the quick side with this lens)

3) It occurs with the Zuiko 14-42 w/adapter

4) It doesn't happen at all when I use my Olympus Zuiko 50mm f/2 Macro w/adapter

5) It happens 100% of the time when I use my Zuiko 18-180 w/adapter, although this has to be the worst choice of lens to use with an M4:3 camera. It's great on my E-5, though.

I beginning to suspect a possible problem with the M. Zuiko 14-42 R II and its interaction with the camera as well as a possible problem with the camera itself. Not sure at the moment. I need to shoot more and get the know the camera even better. The interesting thing ... to me anyway ... is that I'm not experiencing the ghosting at all when the M. Zuiko 14-42 R II is mounted to my E-PM2.

Is the 14-42 R II the new pancake zoom? I read about an issue that it can cause backfocus when it is zoomed to max (42mm).

By the way, I can confirm that AntiShock=0 does not always help. My 40-150mm zoom was the worst lens in my ShutterShock test environment, even on tripod (especially on MY tripod).

While all other lenses are cured, the 40-150 tripod combo still shows some blur.

Interesting. Do you see this in tripod shots only or when shooting hand-held as well. Haven't yet tested my 40-150 with 0-second AS. I have just veririfed that the SS problem is gone with the other lenses where it used to be the most troubling (75/1.8, 100-300, and the 75-300 II that I just bought).

Maybe the 14-42 is similar in this regard?

Anyhow, I would also like to see a test shot ....
