AF miss / shake / shock?
1

Heads up, I'm seeing a relatively high rate of shutter shock / AF miss / IS gyro shift on my continuous bursts... I also saw this on the M6 Mark II, but, at 14FPS, picking the sharpest wasn't a big deal other than processing power / time needed to do so.

.

I've ratcheted back up to high speed FPS and C-RAW to help mitigate and will re-attempt. This is with continuous AF off.

.

Thoughts on culprit? Folks around here assumed it was shutter shock / M6 Mark II. I'm seeing it on the M50 Mark II.

.

I didn't see it on my time with the M50 Mark I, but, then again, I wasn't using continuous drive / AI-servo so heavily. Well I was, but maybe I've gotten more picky? Might have to go back to the archives but the problem wasn't this, problematic. I also wasn't using the 15-45 though heavily back then either. Could be a 15-45 idiosyncrasy where the STM motor is catching up?

Not sure the problem here

After

IS-motor sync?

After

AF shift, obvious back focus

Correct focus, after

Whatever the case may be, I'll say the M6 Mark II with it's larger buffer, higher FPS capability, was easier to mitigate IS-motor syncs, AF shifts and critical focus / subject movement issues. I just prefer it was the M50-DSLR body type...

BTW, my EOS R doesn't share these hiccups. Yes, the lowly, original R.
