Inheriting the EOS series’s basic concepts of high speed, ease of use and high image quality, the EOS M delivers high-image-quality performance on par with the EOS lineup and, employing a non-reflex operating system, achieves a lightweight, compact body design. In addition, in response to entry-level users who wish to capture even higher quality pictures with more ease, the camera features an interchangeable-lens system that supports the use of not only new dedicated EF-M lenses, but also Canon’s extensive lineup of EF lenses.^*1

Boasting a level of image quality that has come to represent the Canon EOS series, the EOS M incorporates an approximately 18.0-megapixel APS-C size CMOS sensor and DIGIC 5 image processor comparable to those used in EOS digital single-lens reflex (SLR) cameras. Canon’s proprietary CMOS sensor and the DIGIC 5 image processor make possible a maximum standard ISO sensitivity that has been expanded to ISO12800,^*2 which can be extended to ISO25600, enabling high-quality image capture with reduced noise even in low-light environments. Furthermore, because high-sensitivity settings allow faster shutter speeds, users can curb hand-shake and subject blur during handheld shooting or when capturing moving subjects. The camera’s sensor employs Hybrid AF, which makes use of both phase and contrast AF to deliver smooth focusing performance that is fast and accurate. When capturing video, the Movie Servo AF function realizes continuous smooth focusing, even when shooting moving subjects.

Employing a non-reflex system and a newly developed lens mount, the Canon EOS M features a body design that is significantly smaller in size and lighter in weight compared with digital SLR cameras. In addition to offering a high-quality, stylish design, the new interchangeable-lens EOS M employs a shutter button with the same operational feel as the EOS series as well as a grip designed to provide optimal holding performance. Supporting a wide range of user preferences, the camera comes available in four body color variations: black, silver, red and white.^*3

*1 Using any EF interchangeable lens other than EF-M lenses requires the optional Mount Adapter EF-EOS M. When using the Mount Adapter EF-EOS M, focus is fixed at the first frame during continuous shooting.
*2 Maximum ISO sensitivity during video recording is automatically set at ISO6400.
*3 Available body colors may vary depending on the region.
