I turned off IS in all my tests.

ok, good to know

just for your info:

I tested my 100L that has 4 stop IS -- and there is no shutter shock on my M6Ii at ss 1/60 and 1/80 and above -- the better IS systems -- heavier and more robust like the 100L are not as impacted is my conclusion

It is the small stuff with IS and rubber bands...

It is these smaller IS system in the m zooms that can be impacted

My 55-250 stm I tested has shutter shock at 1/60 and 1/80 but is fine ss 1/100 and above

I'd just say -- know your gear --

I think that's too much to ask for for such a small less than 1000 euro camera.

I'm not making excuses for it

I wish I didn't have to know the gear for this issue

It even cannot be found in the manual.

true - it is a flaw that they have never admitted to -- therefore, we must know thy gear

Canon produces only 2 ef-m lenses without IS.

that is an interesting statistic -- but the other M's have EFCS -- maybe the M6II was just released as a one off flyer

Should we adapt expensive BIG and FAT EF L lenses to this compact little camera without internal viewfinder to keep it as compact as possible to get rid of e-shutter?

no, but since there is a design flaw, shouldn't we adapt to what we have?

Common.....

how many times did you tell me you'll just have to use e-shutter in the known trouble range

I'm not making excuses for them -- I'm just stating that since they did this, and don't at least give us firmware to shift between e-shutter and m-shutter in trouble zones, then we must adapt to what they gave us

It's a design flaw, and nothing else.

I guess it is, but at least they could give us firmware to make the design flaw easier to use.

I'm not defending them -- I'm saying know your gear so you can adjust

and switch to e-shutter when in the impacted range

generally, with motion I switch to mechanical and ss 1/180 and above

with static subjects -- e-shutter on m6II is a big benefit
