Re: Recent M6 Mark II shutter shock study / M50 upgrade path rant

What cameras actually need the most is a setting enabling you to set a shutterspeed where the camera should switch to another shutter mode.

If you're fighting for light with the 11-22mm you're at least as slow as 1/30th. If I could set the camera to automatically switch to electronic shutter in that mode the "problem" would be solved for me.

I also would love to have a setting on the R5 to switch to full mechanical from 1/800th and up, staying at EFCS below that shutterspeed. It would be heaven if it would switch to full mechanical if there's BOTH a shutterspeed faster than 1/800th AND an aperture wider than f/2.2,  but I would be completely satisfied by checking the shutterspeed only.

Without this setting I forget sometimes to babysit the shuttermodes myself, ending up with (relatively) blurry pictures at slower pictures with the EF 24-70mm f/2.8 L USM mkII and the Tamron 17-35mm f/2.8-4.0, and also with cut of bokeh with the 40mm & 105mm Art.

Note:  These are all amongst the very first world problems.  Next thing I do is jump in my car to find a spot to go shooting at landscape apertures and fast shutterspeeds looking for other "problems"

I love 50mm (equivalence)
