beamer, lmodern and \scshape give "Font shape not available" warning

Question

Using lmodern package and \scshape in beamer:

\documentclass{beamer}
\usepackage{lmodern}

\begin{document}
\frame{\scshape Normal size text}
\end{document}

gives:

LaTeX Font Warning: Font shape `OT1/lmss/m/sc' in size <10.95> not available
(Font)              Font shape `OT1/lmr/m/sc' tried instead on input line 5.

What is the recommended way to deal with this warning? Silencing it would be ok.

it's telling you that you don't have sans serif small caps, what is recommended depends mostly on what you want. leave as is, pick a different font that has sans caps and small caps, change the document not to select that, ... — David Carlisle, May 11 '15 at 18:41
I don't have the option to change the font shape, it is generated by a package. Tried to silence it but it didn't work. It's annoying to have many warnings of this sort. — Desik, May 11 '15 at 19:00
If your goal is to silence the warnings, try \usepackage{silence} \WarningsOff*. — Sverre, May 11 '15 at 19:39
Yes, silencing this way works. How could I silence just this sort of warnings? — Desik, May 11 '15 at 19:52
You do have the option to change the font shape. If you delete \scshape then it will not try to use that font shape. — cfr, May 11 '15 at 20:40

I managed to filter the warnings, with either

\usepackage{silence}
\WarningFilter{latexfont}{Font shape}

or, if silence package have to be loaded in safe mode:

\usepackage[safe]{silence}
\WarningFilter*{latexfont}{Font}
