page 74 of the E-PM2 under Anti Shock

"Choose the delay between the shutter button being pressed and the shutter being released. This diminishes camera shake caused by vibrations. This feature is useful in situations such as microscope photography and astrophotography. It is also useful for sequential shooting (P. 35) and self timer photography (P. 35)"

Its only a delay set to let the motion if any imparted to the camera body subside before the camera operates the shutter.It doesn't change the shutter operation.

As Anti Shock setting to 1/8s has an effect to picture blur even with remote cable, your statement is not correct. Even if the manual says so.

Maybe you are both right, partially:

If the shutter drive starts to cog the spring and if the delay waits for vibration (from finger and from drive) to calm down and then the shutter itself starts to operate. This would eliminate the finger vibration as well as drive vibration but not the shutter shock.

I'll test again with the setting off. Hopefully before this thread runs out.
