Can the shutter shock delay be adjusted longer? If set long enough, clearly the shutter can't be causing vibration. I'm tempted to buy a used PM2, but shutter shock is a concern (I prefer the GM1 overall, but it is more expensive and has the 1/500s shutter limitation).

SS is caused by the first curtain closing then opening to expose the sensor. On the EPM2, as with other cameras of this vintage, the delay only delays the time between pressing the shutter button and the first curtain sequence - thus, it may or may not make any difference. Making the delay any longer will have no effect.

The newer models with the 0 second delay place this delay between the first curtain sequences thus removing the vibrations - the delay is at a different time point.

I use the 1/8 delay on my EPL5 and seldom encounter SS.
