I can confirm that shutter shock is a serious issue at some shutter speed.

This is an example of my tests with the 15-45mm. It's mostly the same story with the 55-200 and the 28mm macro.

EF-M 15-45mm at 45mm, f/6.3 , 1/80s. E-shutter on the left. On tripod with delay.

Is adding EFCS option via firmware update possible? Is it hardware related at all?

If it is possible, I really wish M6 II owner can contact Canon via phone and emails and give them the complain. Just maybe, they might add it.

I know this is 2022 already and a update seems very unlikely. But I really think this is not acceptable because: every other EOS M has EFCS; the lack of EFCS is never informed.

It was pointed out in dpr's review of the camera two months after the camera was launched, and it's been mentioned in at least a dozen threads here in the last three months.

EFCS was originally a cost-cutting measure to do away with half the shutter assembly.  The M6II is the first EOS M to have a complete shutter.  Maybe the Mark iii will offer EFCS, who knows?
