EM1 MK2 focus bracketing delay

[nprnncbl]

I'm trying to use focus bracketing (or stacking) with flash (FL-600R) on my EM1 Mk2, but it has a 30s delay that makes it unusable by hand. When I enable bracketing, the shooting setting switches to high speed with a delay (and E-shutter?) (♥❐H), and I can't figure out how to turn that off. I've tried making sure it's set to just a single shot, but that setting always comes back when I try to use bracketing.

I just want to take the stack immediately; any thoughts on how to enable that? TIA.

ETA: firmware is 3.1

See "charge time" in the hi-res menu, which sets the delay between frames. It could be set on 30.

Thanks; I did check that, and it's 0.5s -- which does work. Once it takes the stack, the delay between frames is correct.

Also: I have some shots from that setup; is there anything I should check in the EXIF data?

Only thing I can think of is Workspace counts the bracket frames under Drive and with stacking, the resulting compilation jpeg is unnumbered.

e.g., Drive FOCUS BKT (1frame), FOCUS BKT (2frame), etc. The resulting stack is listed as Drive Silent + Sequential shooting.

Google's AI overview actually helped me here, by providing instructions of how to turn the delay on: under silent mode settings, there's a delay option, and 0s is one of the choices. Even though that menu says that silent mode is off, it's automatically enabled for focus bracketing, which then uses that delay setting.
