I know you cannot turn it off on the RP. But I thought you can on the EOS R.

My EOS R arrived recently, and even word searching the manual and googling it didn't help.

Thanks guys!

The EOS R shutter is mechanical. To enable EFCS switch to Silent Shutter Mode 1. Mode 2 is fully electronic shutter.

No, you need to Disable Silent LV Shoot (Red Shoot6 menu). Mode 2 just delays the shutter opening (so that you can't use the viewfinder or take the next shot) until you take your finger off the release. Silent Shutter is the fully electronic (no physical) shutter and that greys out the Silent LV Shoot options when it's switched on.
