Canon expands its
award-winning EOS range with the launch of the new EOS M. The company’s first ever compact system camera (CSC), the EOS
M is designed for those who use photography to share their everyday passions –
from food, to fashion and culture, music and art. Offering DSLR-quality
imaging, creative features and Full HD movie creation in a compact and
easy-to-use model, the EOS M is the perfect, take-anywhere partner for a new
breed of enthusiasts who chronicle their lives through images, without
necessarily considering themselves to be ‘photographers’.
The EOS M is available in
sleek black, glossy white, stylish silver or bold red colours, and condenses
Canon’s renowned EOS imaging heritage into a stylish, compact design. The model
launches alongside two new lenses, the EF-M
22mm f/2 STM pancake and the EF-M
18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM standard zoom, as well as a new
compact EX Speedlite – the Speedlite
90EX – providing everything you need to capture stunning images every day.
For those who want to push their images even further, the EOS M can also utilise
Canon’s extensive range of EF lenses with the new
Mount Adapter EF-EOS M, for even
more creative freedom. Hybrid AF System that supports super-fast, accurate AF when shooting stills and movies – allowing you to record any moment with confidence.
The quality of a Canon DSLR
Print your
favourite moments in poster-size or crop your image for maximum impact –whether
shooting the atmosphere of your favourite club or the intricate stitching of
the latest must-have handbag – thanks to the EOS M’s high-resolution, 18
megapixel APS-C hybrid CMOS sensor. The large sensor also allows you to
artistically blur the background for beautiful portraits, or for close-ups with
impact.
With the
inclusion of Canon’s DIGIC 5 processor, colours ‘pop’ and skin tones are
beautifully natural, whilst a super-fast shutter allows you to capture
split-second action. The atmosphere of evening shoots and challenging
night-time scenes are also easily recorded in stunning detail thanks to the EOS
M’s sensitive native ISO range of 100-12,800 (extendable to 25,600).
For pin-sharp shots and professional-looking footage, this new
design features a Hybrid AF System that
supports super-fast, accurate AF when shooting stills and movies – allowing you
to record any moment with confidence.
Shoot what you see and easily express your
creative vision
Every aspect of
the EOS M has been designed to make it simple to capture beautiful, creative,
high-quality images. From the very first swipe across the bright,
high-resolution, 7.7cm (3.0”), Clear View LCD II Touch screen, the EOS M gives
you as much or as little control over your photos as desired. Simply select
different shooting modes and settings via the on-screen icons, or let Scene
Intelligent Auto adjust the camera settings according to the subject and
shooting conditions, leaving you free to focus on composition and selecting the
perfect moment to hit the shutter release button.
EOS M users can
shoot with the confidence that comes from having the world's most comprehensive
photographic system behind them. Whether you want to capture every detail of a close-up
or zoom in to frame a subject in the far
distance, any one of Canon’s extensive range of EF lenses can be connected via
the new
With one of
Canon’s Speedlite flash units, you can also explore creative lighting
techniques to add an extra level of interest to your shots. Alternatively, create
unique images with a range of Creative Filters like Toy Camera effect, Grainy
B&W or even a filter that mimics the distortion of a fish-eye lens. The
filters can be applied before the shot is captured, with the result previewed
in Live View, allowing you to experiment with different effects before
selecting the perfect treatment for your final image.
Turn film-maker with EOS Movie and Video
Snapshot
When a moment
calls for more than a still image, the EOS M lets you switch easily to Full HD
video with stereo sound for superb results. Video Snapshot mode also helps
family and friends avoid long home movie viewing sessions, guiding you to
create exciting movies in-camera, with a professionally edited feel.
Extending the EOS System with dedicated
accessories
In addition to compatibility with Canon’s existing EF lenses,
accessories and Speedlites, the EOS M launches with its own bespoke range of
compact accessories. Two new EF-M lenses offer portability and high performance
when using the new model – the EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM standard zoom and
the EF-M 22mm f/2 STM pancake lens. Both feature new Stepper Motor technology for
exceptionally smooth AF performance, as well as precision Canon optics, while
their compact designs offer the perfect form-factor to complement the camera’s pocket-sized
body.
Additionally,
the EOS M will ship with the new Speedlite 90EX flash unit as
standard. Lightweight and highly-compact,
it offers a maximum guide number of nine and supports wide-angle lenses, making
it an ideal general-purpose flash for everyday use. A wireless master function
also allows the control of multiple flash guns wirelessly, allowing more
advanced users to experiment with a range of creative lighting effects.
