Lumix G95, continuous single shot delay

Hi.

I'm new to Lumix G95.
While using mode M, single shot, shutter B, and manual focus to take photo continuousely. When I release and immediately press button, it appears to be some delay before shutter fire. Compare to previous model such as G85 / GX7, it seems less or no delay.

1. Is this normal behavior of G95 ? or what am I setting wrong ?
2. Is there a way to have no delay or minimize it ?

Thank you.

Just a guess. Is the long exposure NR on? Olympus called it noise reduction, and I don’t know what Panasonic called it.

Since I can hear no audio on my computer on the footage of G95 (GX7 has audio), hard to judge.

If you still have G85, you might compare to their shutter sound. The shutter sound of GX7 is more like a loud metal grinding sound: chick-chap; whereas

G85 (same as GX85 or most later models which uses the new electromagnetic control m-shutter, trust G95 should use the same or an improved version of it) should produce a low damping sound: blick-lik-blick.

There should be an extra, very short but noticeable, additional sound/action on this new m-shutter of Panasonic. Not sure would that be what you have found. This is said to eliminate shutter shock (sadly to my experience, not really 100% foolproof yet).

No, I turned it off already.
Thanks.

I also believe too that G95 use the same or an improved version of it.
In term of shutter sound, G95 is similar to G85, GX85 but not sure why there is some delay between press and shutter fire, while G85, GX85 seems to have no delay...
