Pen f shutter dead

After pressing the shutter the camera shuts down and no picture is recorded. Rob mentioned trying electronic shutter in a live chat and thst worked fine. I can now use it includin the high res mode. The question is: what other function/s are not usable in electronic/silent mode?
I still have an epl7, em5 mk1 and em10 mk2 functioning perfectly. Here in Argentina there is no Olympus service, i was planning to send it to Spain with my son but the virus cancelled everything (U$200 is the repair fee) thanks for your comments.

You also lose the ability to use flash.

Hi Rob! I'm glad to tell you the shutter on my pen f is back to life!
I bought a brand new olympus battery and by chance took a hdr image and voilá, working again.
Thank you!
