NO EFCS in M6 II: a real shame

Re: NO EFCS in M6 II: a real shame

Here is some of what I don’t know (the complete list appears to be endless). I don’t know anything about the velocity profiles of mechanical shutter curtains. I don’t know the distance between the sensor and the individual curtains on any shutter on any camera. I don’t know how any of the existing EFCS cameras time the row resets on the sensor. I don’t know if they use dedicated timer circuitry (which could be either analog or digital) or the internal microprocessor with software based timers. I don’t know anything about the specifications of the internal microprocessor. Without knowing any of that, I also don’t know much about exposure consistency across the frame which always varies with shutter speed in an EFCS implementation. With what I know that I don’t know, plus a lot that I do actually know, I can see a number of potential reasons why Canon didn’t give us EFCS in the M6II. Given my lack of understanding of the system, I certainly wouldn’t assume that Canon was forgetful, stupid, nor somehow evil in that decision.
