Was it shutter shock or the lack of IBIS? My recollection is that Panasonic has some sort of dual stabilisation system between the camera and the lens, but you were using non-stabilised Olympus lenses which greatly reduces the effectiveness of the stabilisation for taking stills. When you are taking video the Panasonic in-camera stabilisation works not all - zero - so you are reliant on the lens stabilisation completely - and your lenses are not stabilised.

Panasonic wants you to buy their OIS lenses. That's why these systems aren't really interchangeable.
