Re: M50 IS settings

To confirm that the M lenses are not tripod sensing…information from someone who tested the 18-150 lens very thoroughly: “…The IS system of the EF-M 18-150mm features automatic panning detection, meaning it detects when you are following a subject and will compensate for camera shake only in the direction perpendicular to the direction the lens is being intentionally moved. Although Canon has not stated whether or not the lens is tripod-sensing, my observations suggest that it is not, and thus when mounting the camera on a tripod the IS should be turned off, which must be done with the camera's menu options since there is no IS switch on the lens itself”. Hope this helps less experienced M users like me

Btw, very good review of the 18-150 lens if you are interested:
