Product Details
Canon EOS M EF-M 18.0 Megapixel Digital Camera With EF-M 18-55mm IS STM Lens, Model EOSM1855KIT
Inspired by EOS technology, Canon developed the new EOS M Digital Camera. Canon
introduced the market to Full HD video capture with smooth, quiet continuous
autofocus made possible by Movie Servo AF and STM lenses, advanced CMOS sensor
technology, and the processing power of DIGIC 5. The EOS M Digital Camera leverages
these key technologies to deliver high-quality moving and still images with
creativity provided by Canon's extensive family of interchangeable lenses.
Features:
- EOS Full HD Movie Mode with Movie Servo AF
For those looking to capture superb quality Full HD video, the EOS M Digital
Camera offers a number of advantages. Offering a large APS-C sized sensor,
the camera is able to deliver shallow depth-of-field for achieving impressive
cine-style results and the ability to capture clean, high-quality video, even
under very low-light conditions. With the optional Mount Adapter EF-EOS M,
the camera is also compatible with Canon’s extensive family of EF lenses
for boundless creativity. Capable of shooting in a number of recording sizes
and frame rates, the EOS M Digital Camera continues Canon’s tradition
of performance, quality and simplicity. The EOS M Digital Camera enables easy
manual control of focus and exposure. It also automatically splits files greater
than 4GB (FAT specifications) for extended recording without interruption.
Movie Servo AF allows continuous autofocus tracking of moving subjects while
recording video. When shooting video with one of Canon’s new STM lenses,
Movie Servo AF takes advantage of the lens’ stepping motor for smooth
and quiet continuous AF
- Built-in stereo microphone, manual audio level adjustment
The EOS M Digital Camera has an internal stereo microphone for high-quality
audio capture and a wind filter feature to reduce wind noise when shooting
outdoors. Sound recording levels can be manually (up to 64 different levels)
or automatically controlled. A built-in attenuator is also provided to reduce
audio clipping. For more advanced audio recording, the EOS M Digital Camera
is compatible with many third-party electret condenser microphones with a
3.5mm diameter plug.
- Video Snapshot
With the Video Snapshot feature, the EOS M Digital Camera can capture short
video clips (of 2, 4 or 8 seconds) then combine them automatically into one
video file as a snapshot or highlights “album.” With no editing
required after shooting, the compiled video is perfect for sharing online
or displaying directly on an HDTV via the camera’s HDMI port. Additionally,
stills can be recorded during video shooting simply by pressing the camera’s
shutter button. During playback, video clips in an album can now be reordered
or deleted
- 18.0 Megapixel CMOS (APS-C) sensor
The EOS M Digital Camera features Canon’s amazing 18.0 Megapixel CMOS
(Complementary Metal Oxide Semiconductor) sensor. Perfect for enlargements
or for cropping detailed portions of the composition, the EOS M Digital Camera’s
sensor captures images with exceptional clarity and tonal range. This first-class
sensor features many of the same new technologies used by professional Canon
cameras to maximize each pixel’s light-gathering efficiency and has center
pixels that aid in the EOS M Digital Camera’s accurate AF performance.
This APS-C size sensor creates an effective 1.6x field of view (compared to
35mm format)
- Versatile ISO Range for shooting in a wide variety of lighting conditions
Thanks to its DIGIC 5 Image Processor, the EOS M Digital Camera features a
versatile ISO range of ISO 100–6400 (expandable to 12800 in H mode) for
video recording and ISO 100–12800 (expandable to 25600 in H mode) for
still image shooting. The EOS M Digital Camera, with the DIGIC 5 Image Processor’s
remarkable noise-reduction technology, delivers outstanding performance in
low light for incredible video and photos
- DIGIC 5 Image Processor
The EOS M Digital Camera features Canon’s DIGIC 5 Image Processor. The
DIGIC 5 Image Processor works with the camera’s CMOS sensor to deliver
images with incredible detail in more situations, without the need for artificial
light sources. With the power of the DIGIC 5 Image Processor the EOS M Digital
Camera can achieve higher ISO sensitivity and even perform advanced functions
like HDR Backlight Control, art filters, lens correction and much more. The
brilliant “brain” of the camera, this engine supercharges every
facet of image capture
- Hybrid CMOS AF delivers fast autofocus speed for video and photos
The EOS M Digital Camera uses a hybrid AF system to deliver incredibly speedy
and accurate focus. Its CMOS sensor has center-mounted pixels that are used
for phase-difference AF. Phase difference AF is incredibly fast for general
distance determination, while contrast AF is incredibly accurate, no matter
the location of the focus point. By capitalizing on the strengths of phase-difference
and contrast AF systems, the EOS M Digital Camera achieves precise AF, fast
- Touch Screen 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor II with multi-touch operation
and Touch AF
The EOS M Digital Camera comes with a newly engineered, Touch Screen 3.0-inch
Clear View LCD monitor II. Using the same capacitive technology as today’s
popular mobile devices, this new screen is touch-sensitive and delivers intuitive
touch panel operation. Two finger touch gestures (multi-touch) can be used
for zooming or changing images, menu and quick control settings can be accessed,
and focus point and shutter release can be activated with the touch of a fingertip.
The additional benefit of Touch AF makes it fast and easy to focus on any
subject, by simply touching it on the screen. Displaying fine detail (at approximately
1.04 million pixels), this screen is perfect for composing and reviewing images.
Thanks to a new, solid construction between the monitor’s resin-coated
cover and the liquid crystal display, reflections are minimized, and the display
can be viewed, without glare, from any number of angles. The LCD’s surface
is treated with a smudge-resistant coating to minimize fingerprints and maintain
a bright, clear image display
- Compatible with the full line of Canon EF and EF-S lenses (optional Mount
Adapter EF-EOS M is required)
The EOS M Digital Camera features a new style lens mount, called EF-M. Besides
the dedicated EF-M lenses, the camera is compatible with the entire family
of Canon EF and EF-S lenses by attaching the optional Mount Adapter EF-EOS
M. When the adapter is used, the image quality of the lens is preserved, with
no light loss or change to image stabilization. From fisheye to telephoto
and everywhere in between, Canon offers the most comprehensive lens collection
on the planet, with the finest optics and most advanced technologies for whatever
application is at hand. When shooting video with one of Canon’s new STM
lenses, the camera’s Movie Servo AF feature takes advantage of the lens’
stepping motor for smooth and quiet continuous AF
- Scene Intelligent Auto mode
The EOS M Digital Camera features an enhanced Scene Intelligent Auto mode
that incorporates a number of Canon technologies to deliver the best possible
exposure. Joining Picture Style Auto, Automatic Lighting Optimizer, Automatic
White Balance, Autofocus, and Automatic Exposure, Scene Intelligent Auto mode
analyzes the image, accounting for faces, colors, brightness, moving objects,
contrast, even whether the camera is handheld or on a tripod, and then chooses
the exposure and enhancements that bring out the best in any scene or situation
- Handheld Night Scene mode
Accessible right on the EOS M Digital Camera’s Mode Dial, Handheld Night
Scene mode captures nightscapes with bright highlights and detailed dark areas,
delivering results previously impossible without the use of a tripod. By shooting
and combining four consecutive shots at a shutter speed fast enough to avoid
camera shake, the EOS M Digital Camera’s Handheld Night Scene mode makes
dramatic nighttime photography simple
- HDR Backlight Control mode
The EOS M Digital Camera’s HDR Backlight Control mode ensures that backlit
subjects are not recorded too dark. By shooting three consecutive shots at
different exposures (underexposed, correctly exposed and overexposed) and
then combining the images, the final result maintains detail in both the shadow
and highlight areas, ensuring the backlit subject is properly exposed
- Seven Creative Filters, plus new Art Bold Effect and Water Painting Effect
Adding to the fun and creative possibilities available with the EOS M Digital
Camera are seven different creative filters that can dramatically alter the
mood and visual effect of any particular scene. Creative Filters include Grainy
Black and White, Soft Focus, Fish-eye Effect, Toy Camera Effect, Miniature
Effect and new filters: Art Bold Effect (makes the photos look like an oil
painting, with subjects appearing three-dimensional), and Water Painting Effect
(photos are altered to look like a water-colored painting). Since the filters
can be applied to the image after shooting, it’s easy to try several
effects on the same shot. These creative effects can also be applied to video,
for additional imaginative fun
- Multi Shot Noise Reduction
To enhance its already admirable high ISO shooting capabilities, the EOS M
Digital Camera features an intelligent Multi Shot Noise Reduction tool that
reduces noise even further than the camera’s sensor and the DIGIC 5 Image
Processor alone. With Multi Shot Noise Reduction activated, the camera takes
four consecutive shots, merges and aligns them. This eliminates more noise
than the traditional Noise Reduction filter, with little or no apparent resolution
loss. Moving subjects are even optimized to minimize subject blur! Thanks
to this clever new feature, high ISO shooting has never looked better
- Compatible with SD/SDHC/SDXC memory cards, including new Ultra High Speed
cards
The EOS M Digital Camera uses popular SD, SDHC, SDXC and is even compatible
