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?

It is more likely that the two cameras are just using different shutter mechanisms and the M6 II is physically incapable of implementing EFCS.

Indeed they must have different shutters, because the M6II shutter is capable of faster bursts.
