Electronics shutter on Panasonic S1

My choices for shutter type and silent mode are greyed out on the S1 and I am not sure why.

i am presently in electronic shutter and get a message that the menu item can’t be changed when I try to change it . Same for silent mode - that is also greyed out

Have downloaded and searched the manual, changed modes ( mostly use manual ). Removed the battery, not sure what else to try

Have you selected 'Electronic Shutter' via the FN-switch? In this case the menu item is greyed out. Set the FN-switch to "1" which should solve the issue.

I had the same problem, which was solved in another thread.  The 1-2 switch on the front lower left corner defaults to setting a completely silent mode.  When I turned it back to 1 (it was at 2), those menu entries could be adjusted, were no longer greyed out.  This was an old post (above), hope it was cleared up in the mean time.

Can also happen with the Leica SL2 in continuous very high speed mode (confusingly labeled S in the menu). I got unstuck from grayed-out (electronic) shutter selection by setting a slower burst mode or single shot.
