M6 II "hidden features" thread

My whole point is: only controlled tests are valid. And those tests by other people show the issue.

He did do a controlled test. The shot with the electronic shutter is the control. He only posted one example, but in this case only one is necessary for that lens and that set of conditions. If there is significant shutter shock, it should occur every time under the right conditions. He DIDN'T see the issue, and he posted the proof. I would have liked to see more than one data point, but it was a controlled test.

You are probably confusing experimental control with reproducibility. The most carefully done and most reproducible tests that I have seen the results of were published in Canon Rumors. Those tests were vertical shots on a tripod with fully extended center column. That test is perfectly reproducible, but it was also designed to maximize the effect. It is also completely irrelevant to handheld results.

I don't know if you are aware of this, almost any small impulse sets the tripod to ringing, especially for vertical shots, and it rings and rings for several seconds. A hand dampens the motions. So what would be the result of a handheld test? There was only one way to find out, so I tried it.

My results showed that the effect was very much less serious than on the tripod. And for a horizontal shot on a monopod there was no detectable effect whatsoever. Your results may vary, which is why you must try it yourself if you want to find out.

Here is what you wrote on the subject:

I am sure that shutter shock may never ruin a good image. It really is a minor issue 99% of the time.

So you claim that it is a minor issue but you are complaining to R2D2 because he finds that the effect is very small.

You will gain a great deal of credibility if you do some tests for yourself.

D810s have EFCS. Idk about d800s but they are ten years old. The M6ii's eshutter mode creates way more limitations than efcs. One shot only, no strobe, rolling shutter with moving subjects due to 40ms readout time.

With moving subjects I use higher shutter speeds that I don't find to be subject to shutter shock. The problem is easily mitigated.

Good luck with the hacking that you said you wanted to try, but if you're trying to get people to pick up pitchforks, I won't be joining you.
