I checked a number of manuals, including the M50, R, R6 and 90D. The only one with that verbiage was the 90D. Since it's a close cousin to the M6 II (same image processing electronics, and released at the same time) I'm not surprised.

What is interesting is that the 90D does have 3 shutter modes, including EFCS. I wonder why Canon chose not to implement that firmware code in the M6 II? Cost would have been negligible I would think. Were they afraid of the M6 II cannibalizing 90D sales?

they probably are different shutters
