Makes no sense why they would put the delay there - my understanding was that the delay was after the first curtain and that the delay helped a lot.

This what I said:

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.

So, I don't understand what you are getting at. The 0 second delay is after the first curtain but  this feature is not on the EPM2.

The 0 second delay does work. Example, using my Sigma 60 on my EPL5, I cannot hold it steady at low shutter speeds. However, I can hold it with my EP5.
