Maybe I'm doing something wrong?
You might be. I have no problem getting sharp photos at 1/60 with the 22mm. Even 1/30 works most of the time for me.
Can you post a sample? It could be a defective lens, or some other issue. Shutter speeds of 1/125 should be more than fast enough.
EF-M 1/80 Shutter (focus was on rock under tree)
EF-M 1/125 Shutter (focus was on rock under tree)
Something odd going on there.... the rock appears to be simply out of focus. Pixel peeping both frames, the sticks in the lower right corner and the leaves in the upper left corner are fairly sharp. This does not appear to be camera movement, it appears to be more of a focus issue.
The M5ii and M6ii when in 'general' or zone focus mode will often focus on the closest thing in the focus zone. I've had situations where a few blades of grass or sticks or branches I didn't notice in the finder caused focus to be much closer than I thought.
How was focus obtained? For something like this I would use spot or single point focus pointed at the rock perhaps or the tree slightly behind the rock to get some depth of field. Depth of field is going to be quite shallow at f2.5 anyway.
I am thinking the same thing. It appears to be a focus issue and not a camera shake issue. The focus failure is either coming from a lens error or an operator error.
