Canon EOS M is the firstmirrorless interchangeable-lens camera produced byCanon.
DPReview noted that the EOS M is effectively a miniature version of theCanon EOS 650D, which was introduced in June 2012, with a simpler physical interface.[1] The letter M in EOS M stands for "mobility" and EOS means "electro-optical system".
It was superseded by theCanon EOS M2 in late 2013; theCanon EOS M10 in October 2015; theCanon EOS M100 in August 2017; and theCanon EOS M200 in September 2019.
The camera has a 3-inchtouchscreen with support formulti-touch gestures such aspinch to zoom, swiping and tapping.[2] The camera uses an 18 megapixelAPS-C sensor and aDIGIC 5 processor, similar to theCanon EOS 650D.[3]
The camera uses anEF-Mlens mount which can acceptCanon EF andEF-S lenses with an additional mount adapter. Several EF-M lenses, including a 11–22mm f/4–5.6 IS STM, a 22mm f/2 STMpancake lens, an 18–55mm f/3.5–5.6 IS STM, and a 55–200mm f/4.5–6.3 IS STM are available.[2]
The camera does not include a built-in flash, but launched with a dedicatedCanon Speedlite 90EX, part of a bundle pack for this camera in some markets.[3] The camera is capable of supporting Standard Definition video at 30 fps or 25 fps, 720p HD video at 60 fps or 50 fps, and 1080p Full HD video at 30 fps, 24 fps or 25 fps.
On 27 June 2013,firmware version 2.0.2 was released withImproved focusing speed in One-Shot AF mode, among other fixes and improvements.[4][5] Thefirmware updatedid in fact markedly improve the EOS M's speed over the camera's initial firmware, but its autofocus performance was reportedlystill not as fast as many other compact system cameras.[6]
On 28 November 2016, firmware version 2.0.3 was released. As per the official note:Corrects a phenomenon in which when using the camera with the EF-S 18–135 mmf/3.5–5.6 IS USM or EF 70–300 mmf/4–5.6 IS II USM lens, even if lens aberration correction is set to "Enable", correction will not be applied.[7]
Magic Lantern is an open source (GPL) firmware add-on for some Canon DSLR cameras, which has enhancements for video and still photography without replacing the stock firmware.[8] The Canon EOS M is compatible with Magic Lantern firmware.[9]
