Just out of curiosity, do you use the IBIS system or the lens stabilizer? I ask because I haven't noticed any shutter shock issues with the 12-32 on my E-M10. I use the in-lens stabilizer, since it slightly outperforms the 3-axis system in the E-M10, and now I'm wondering if that might have an effect.

I generally use IBIS (Lens Priority = Off), and the example images I shared in this thread were taken using that setting.

At your suggestion, I just repeated the 32mm test (same settings and target), this time using the lens IS (Lens Priority = On), and the results were more or less the same - the photos taken with the electronic shutter were consistently and obviously sharper than those taken with the mechanical shutter.

Interesting... maybe I'll do some tests as well. By electronic shutter, do you mean electronic first curtain?

By electronic shutter, I mean the full electronic shutter, not EFCS.
