There is not option since the camera always operates with an electronic first curtain. This is apparently the only mode as other have stated it does not have a fully electronic option.

In short, the camera operates in EFC mode all the time with no other optionss.

And why Canon doesn't tell ?

Canon USA clearly states (about M3 shutter): "Vertical-travel, mechanical, focal-plane shutter with all speeds electronically controlled. Electronic 1st curtain and mechanical 2nd curtain (Hybrid Single Blade Shutter)."

In M6/M5 features page, they write: "Electronic controlled focal-plane shutter" (just). No mention to EFCS mode. I understand they do not mention EFCS anymore because they removed it in later models.
