Introduction

COPY

The EOS M is a high-performance, interchangeable-lens digital camera featuring a fine-detail CMOS sensor with approx. 18.0 effective megapixels, DIGIC 5, high-precision and high-speed 31-point AF, approx. 4.3 fps continuous shooting, and Full High-Definition (Full HD) movie shooting. The camera is highly responsive to any shooting situation, and provides many features for demanding shots.

Refer to This Manual while Using the Camera to Further Familiarize Yourself with the Camera

With a digital camera, you can immediately view the image you have captured. While reading this manual, take a few test shots and see how they come out. You can then better understand the camera. To avoid botched pictures and accidents, first read the “Safety Warnings” (p.333, 334) and “Handling Precautions” (p.16-19).

Testing the Camera Before Use and Liability

After shooting, play images back and check whether they have been properly recorded. If the camera or memory card is faulty and the images cannot be recorded or downloaded to a computer, Canon cannot be held liable for any loss or inconvenience caused.

Copyrights

Copyright laws in your country may prohibit the use of your recorded images or copyrighted music and images with music in the memory card for anything other than private enjoyment. Also be aware that certain public performances, exhibitions, etc., may prohibit photography even for private enjoyment.

This camera is compatible with SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards, and SDXC memory cards. In this manual, “card” refers to all these cards. * The camera does not come with a card for recording images/

movies. Please purchase it separately.

Cards that can record movies

Handling Precautions

COPY

Camera Care

This camera is a precision instrument. Do not drop it or subject it to physical

shock.

Do not point the camera-attached lens toward the sun. The sun’s heat can

damage the camera’s internal components.

The camera is not waterproof and cannot be used underwater. If you

accidentally drop the camera into water, promptly consult the nearest Canon Service Center. Wipe off any water droplets with a dry cloth. If the camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe it with a well-wrung wet cloth.

Never leave the camera near anything having a strong magnetic field such

as a magnet or electric motor. Also avoid using or leaving the camera near anything emitting strong radio waves such as a large antenna. Strong magnetic fields can cause camera incorrect operation or destroy image data.

Do not leave the camera in excessive heat such as in a car in direct sunlight.

High temperatures can cause the camera to malfunction.

The camera contains precision electronic circuitry. Never attempt to

disassemble the camera yourself.

Do not block the shutter operation with your finger, etc. Doing so may cause

a malfunction.

Use a blower to blow away any dust on the lens. Do not use cleaners that

contain organic solvents to clean the camera body or lens. For stubborn dirt, take the camera to the nearest Canon Service Center.

Do not touch the camera’s electrical contacts with your fingers. This is to

prevent the contacts from corroding. Corroded contacts can cause camera misoperation.

If the camera is suddenly brought in from the cold into a warm room,

condensation may form on the camera and internal parts. To prevent condensation, first put the camera in a sealed plastic bag and let it adjust to the warmer temperature before taking it out of the bag.

If condensation forms on the camera, do not use the camera. This is to avoid

damaging the camera. If there is condensation, remove the lens, card and battery from the camera, and wait until condensation has evaporated before using the camera.

If the camera will not be used for an extended period, remove the battery

and store the camera in a cool, dry, well-ventilated location. Even while the camera is in storage, press the shutter button a few times once in a while to check that the camera is still working.

Avoid storing the camera where there are corrosive chemicals such as a

darkroom or chemical lab.

Handling Precautions

COPY

If the camera has not been used for an extended period, test all its functions

before using it. If you have not used the camera for some time or if there is an important shoot coming up, have the camera checked by your Canon dealer or check the camera yourself and make sure it is working properly.

When you detach the lens, the image sensor will be exposed. To prevent

scratching the image sensor, do not touch the image sensor.

Handling Precautions

COPY

LCD Monitor

Although the LCD monitor is manufactured with very high precision

technology with over 99.99% effective pixels, there may be a few dead pixels among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels displaying only black or red, etc., are not a malfunction. They do not affect the images recorded.

If the LCD monitor is left on for a prolonged period with the same screen

displayed, screen burn-in may occur where you see remnants of what was displayed. However, this is only temporary and will disappear when the camera is left unused for a few days.

The LCD monitor display may seem slow in low temperatures, or look black

in high temperatures. It will return to normal at room temperature.

After changing the LCD monitor’s brightness settings, the display may look a

little coarse, depending on the subject. This is not a malfunction and will not affect the recorded image.

Cards

To protect the card and its recorded data, note the following:

Do not drop, bend, or wet the card. Do not subject it to excessive force,

physical shock, or vibration.

Do not touch the card’s electronic contacts with your fingers or anything

metallic.

Do not affix any stickers, etc., on the card. Do not store or use the card near anything having a strong magnetic field

such as a TV set, speakers, or magnet. Also avoid places prone to having static electricity.

Do not leave the card in direct sunlight or near a heat source. Store the card in a case. Do not store the card in hot, dusty, or humid locations.

Handling Precautions

COPY

Lens

After detaching the lens from the camera, put down the lens with the rear end up and attach the lens caps to avoid scratching the lens surface and electrical contacts.

Cautions regarding Prolonged Use

If you use continuous shooting, Live View shooting, or movie shooting for a prolonged period, the camera may become hot. Although this is not a malfunction, holding the hot camera for a long period can cause slight skin burns.

About smudges adhering to the front of the sensor

Besides dust entering the camera from outside, in rare cases lubricant from the camera’s internal parts may adhere to the front of the sensor. If visible spots still remain after the automatic sensor cleaning, having the sensor cleaned by a Canon Service Center is recommended.

About the lens mount

Periodically cleaning the camera’s body and lens mount with a soft lens cleaning cloth is recommended.

Tips for Using the Battery and Charger

Upon purchase, the battery is not fully charged.

Recharge the battery before using.

Recharge the battery on the day before or on the day it is to be

used.

Even during storage, a charged battery will gradually drain and lose its capacity.

After recharging the battery, detach it and disconnect the

charger from the power outlet.

When not using the camera, remove the battery.

If the battery is left in the camera for a prolonged period, a small amount of power current is released, resulting in excess discharge and shorter battery life. Store the battery with the protective cover (provided) attached. Storing the battery when it is fully charged may lower the battery’s performance.

The battery charger can also be used in foreign countries.

The battery charger is compatible with a 100 V AC to 240 V AC 50/ 60 Hz power source. If necessary, attach a commercially-available plug adapter for the respective country or region. Do not attach any portable voltage transformer to the battery charger. Doing so can damage the battery charger.

If the battery becomes exhausted quickly even after being fully

charged, the battery has reached the end of its service life.

Purchase a new battery.

After disconnecting the charger’s power plug, do not touch the prongs for

at least 3 sec.

Do not charge any battery other than a Battery Pack LP-E12. Battery Pack LP-E12 is dedicated to Canon products only. Using it with

an incompatible battery charger or product may result in malfunction or accidents for which Canon cannot be held liable.

Installing and Removing the Battery and Card

COPY

Load a fully charged Battery Pack LP-E12 into the camera. The card (sold separately) can be an SD, SDHC, or SDXC memory card. SDHC and SDXC cards with UHS-I can also be used. The captured images are recorded onto the card.

About Zooming

Attaching and Detaching a Lens

While pressing the lens release button, turn the lens as shown by the arrow.

Turn the lens until it stops, then

detach it.

Attach the rear lens cap to the

detached lens.

To zoom, turn the zoom ring on the lens with your fingers.

If you want to zoom, do it before focusing. Turning the zoom ring after achieving focus may throw off the focus slightly.

Do not look at the sun directly through any lens. Doing so may cause

loss of vision.

If the front part (focusing ring) of the lens rotates during autofocusing, do

not touch the rotating part.

The focus preset function of some lenses cannot be used with this

camera. Also, Power Zoom cannot be used even if you attach a lens featuring the Power Zoom function, like the EF35-80mm f/4-5.6 POWER ZOOM.

Lens Focal Length (Image Conversion Factor)

Since the image sensor size is smaller than the 35mm film format, it will look like the lens focal length is increased by approx. 1.6x.

Example: An 18-55mm focal length would be equivalent to an approx. 2988mm focal length on a 35mm camera.

Execute [Format card] in the following cases:

The card is new. The card was formatted by a different camera or a computer. The card is full with images or data. A card error is displayed (p.323).

What is low-level formatting?

Perform low-level formatting if the card’s recording or reading speed seems

slow or if you want to totally erase all data in the card.

Since low-level formatting will format all recordable sectors in the card, the

formatting will take slightly longer than normal formatting.

You can stop the low-level formatting by selecting [Cancel]. Even in this

case, normal formatting will be completed and you can use the card as usual.

When the card is formatted or data is erased, only the file management

information is changed. The actual data is not completely erased. Be aware of this when selling or discarding the card. When discarding the card, execute low-level formatting or destroy the card physically to prevent the personal data from being leaked.

Before using a new Eye-Fi card, the software in the card must be

installed in your computer. Then format the card with the camera.

The card capacity displayed on the card format screen may be smaller

than the capacity indicated on the card.

FAQ

The AF point does not turn green and focus is not achieved.

Try again, aiming the AF point at an area with a good bright/dark contrast, then press the shutter button halfway. Also, focus might not be achieved if you are too close to the subject. Move away from the subject and shoot.

Multiple AF points appear in green.

Focus has been achieved at all the green AF points. When the AF point covering the desired subject turns green, take the picture.

Pressing the shutter button halfway does not focus the subject.

When an EF or EF-S lens is used, if the focus mode switch on the lens is set to <MF> (manual focus), manual focusing will be in effect. Set the focus mode switch to <AF> (autofocus).

(When you use flash, there is a slight time lag after you press the shutter button completely before the picture is taken.)

The flash fired even though it was daylight.

For a backlit subject, the flash may fire to help lighten the subject’s dark areas. If you do not want the flash to fire, switch the Speedlite’s power to <2>.

The flash fired and the picture came out extremely bright.

Move farther from the subject and shoot. When shooting flash photography, if the subject is too close to the camera, the picture may come out extremely bright (overexposure).

The flash fired, but the photo came out dark.

You were too far away from the subject. See “Effective Flash Range” (p.139) and shoot.

When flash was used, the bottom part of the picture came out

unnaturally dark.

The subject was too close to the camera, and a shadow was created by the lens barrel. The subject should be at least 1 meter/3.3 feet away from the camera. If a hood is attached to the lens, remove it before taking the flash picture.

Full Auto Techniques (Scene Intelligent Auto)

With a digital camera, you should use a card with ample capacity. If you cannot decide on the composition or which mode to use, you should shoot freely in various compositions and modes. Even if the picture is slightly blurred, it can still convey something. You can always erase failed or unwanted images, so be sure to try many different shots.

Recomposing the Shot

Depending on the scene, instead of having the subject at the center, you should put the subject toward the right or left and include some background. This gives the picture more balance and depth. While you press the shutter button halfway to focus a still subject, the focus will be locked at the subject’s distance. Then aim the camera to the right or left and press the shutter button completely. This is called “focus lock”. Focus lock is also possible in other Basic Zone modes (except <5> Sports).

2 Shooting Portraits (Portrait)

COPY

This mode blurs the background to make the person stand out better. It also makes skin tones and the hair look softer.

Shooting Tips

The further the distance between the subject and background,

the better.

The further the distance between the subject and background, the

more blurred the background will look. The subject will also stand

out better in front of a plain, dark background.

Use a telephoto lens.

If you have a zoom lens, use the telephoto end to fill the frame with

the subject from the waist up. Move in closer if necessary.

Focus the face.

Check that the AF point covering the face turns green.

The default setting is (continuous shooting). If you hold down the

shutter button, you can shoot continuously to obtain different poses and facial expressions (max. approx. 4.3 shots/sec.).

Using the Speedlite 90EX or similar flash in Portrait mode is

recommended.

3 Shooting Landscapes (Landscape)

COPY

Suited for wide scenes when you want everything to be in focus from

near to far. For vivid blues and greens, and very sharp and crisp

images.

Shooting Tips

With a zoom lens, use the wide-angle end.

When using the wide-angle end of a zoom lens, objects near and far will be in focus better than at the telephoto end. It also adds breadth to landscapes.

Shooting night scenes.

Since the flash will be disabled, this mode <3> is also good for night scenes. Use a tripod to prevent camera shake.

4 Shooting Close-ups (Close-up)

COPY

For shooting flowers and small objects up close. To make small things appear much larger, use a macro lens (sold separately).

Shooting Tips

Use a simple background.

When the background has no other flowers, leaves, etc., the close-

up subject will stand out more.

Move as close as possible to the subject.

Check the lens for its minimum focusing distance. Some lenses

have indications such as <40.25m/0.8ft>. (This example indicates

a minimum focusing distance of 25 cm/0.8 ft.) The lens minimum

focusing distance is measured from the <V> (focal plane) mark (on

the left of the hot shoe) to the subject. If you get too close to the

subject, focus cannot be achieved.

With a zoom lens, use the telephoto end.

If you have a zoom lens, using the telephoto end will make the

subject look larger.

5 Shooting Moving Subjects (Sports)

COPY

Use this mode to photograph a moving subject.

Shooting Tips

Shoot continuously.

When you press the shutter button halfway, the camera will focus and the AF point will be fixed. While the camera focuses, the beeper will sound. If focus cannot be achieved, the AF point will turn orange. When the right moment comes, press the shutter button completely to take the picture. If you hold down the shutter button completely, the camera will keep focusing and shooting continuously so you can capture the changing movement. The continuous shooting speed (maximum number of frames per second) depends on the lens used.

• EF-M18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM: approx. 1.7 fps

• EF-M22mm f/2 STM: approx. 1.2 fps

• EF and EF-S lenses: approx. 4.3 fps

Shooting Night Scenes Handheld (Handheld Night Scene)

For shooting night scenes while handholding the camera. When you

take a picture, four shots are taken continuously to produce a single,

bright photo that reduces camera shake.

Shooting Tips

Hold the camera firmly.

While shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. If the continuous shots are very misaligned due to camera shake, etc., they may not align properly in the final image.

With Speedlite 90EX Attached

If you will only shoot a night scene, turn off the Speedlite.

If you are shooting only the night scene, turn off the flash.

If you are also photographing a person, turn on the Speedlite.

To take a nice portrait, the first shot will use flash. Tell the person not to move until all four continuous shots are taken. The effective range of the flash for human subjects is explained in “Effective Flash Range” on page 139.

See the cautions on page 87.

G Shooting Backlit Scenes (HDR Backlight Control)

COPY

When shooting a scene having both bright and dark areas. When you take a picture, three continuous shots will be taken at different exposures. The loss of detail in highlights and shadows will be reduced in the final image.

Shooting Tips

Hold the camera firmly.

While shooting, hold the camera firmly and steadily. If the continuous

shots are very misaligned due to camera shake, etc., they may not

align properly in the final image.

The AF-assist beam will be emitted. Flash cannot be used. See the cautions on page 87.

Cautions for <F>

COPY

When shooting night scenes and other scenes with multiple point-like

light sources, the camera may not be able to focus automatically. In such cases, set the focus mode to [MF] and focus manually.

When shooting flash photography, if the flash fires and the subject’s

background is close enough to be illuminated by the flash or the night scene has only few lights, the shots may not align correctly. This can result in a blurry photo.

When shooting flash photography, if the subject is too close to the

camera, the picture may come out extremely bright (overexposure).

When using a Speedlite with automatic flash coverage setting, the zoom

position will be fixed to the wide end, regardless of the lens’ zoom position. When using a Speedlite with manual flash coverage switch, shoot with the flash head retracted to the wide (normal) position.

Cautions for <G>

Note that the image may not be rendered with a smooth gradation and

may look irregular or have significant noise.

HDR Backlight Control may not be effective for excessively backlit

scenes or extremely high-contrast scenes.

When shooting subjects that are sufficiently bright, for example for

normally lit scenes, the image may look unnatural because of the applied HDR effect.

Cautions for <F> and <G>

Compared with other shooting modes, the shooting area will be smaller. 1+73 or 1 cannot be selected. With other shooting modes, if

1+73 or 1 is set, the picture will be recorded in 73.

If you shoot a moving subject, ghost-like images of the subject may

result.

The image alignment may not function properly with repetitive patterns

(lattice, stripes, etc.), flat or single-tone images, or greatly misaligned shots caused by camera shake.

Compared to normal shooting, recording the image to the card will take

longer. During the processing of the images, [BUSY] will be displayed and you cannot take another picture until the processing is completed.

You cannot use Creative filters when shooting. Final image simulation is not available. If the mode dial is set to <F> or <G>, direct printing is not possible.

Select other mode and perform direct printing.

Creative Filter Characteristics

Grainy B/W

Makes the image grainy and black and white. By adjusting the

contrast, you can change the black-and-white effect.

Soft focus

Gives the image a soft look. By adjusting the blur, you can change

the degree of softness.

Fish-eye effect

Gives the effect of a fish-eye lens. The image will have a barrel-type

distortion.

Depending on the level of this filter effect, the area trimmed along

the periphery of the image changes. Also, since this filter effect will

magnify the image center, the apparent resolution at the center may

degrade depending on the number of recorded pixels. Set the filter

effect while checking the resulting image. With the fish-eye effect,

the AF will be fixed at the center AF point.

Art bold effect

Makes the photo look like an oil painting and the subject look three-

dimensional. You can adjust the contrast and saturation. Note that

the sky, white walls, and similar subjects may not be rendered with a

smooth gradation and may look irregular or have significant noise.

Water painting effect

Makes the photo look like a watercolor painting with soft colors. You

can adjust the color density. Note that night scenes or dark scenes

may not be rendered with a smooth gradation and may look irregular

or have significant noise.

k Using Creative Filters

COPY

Toy camera effect

Gives a color cast typical of toy cameras and darkens the image’s four corners. By adjusting the color tone, you can change the color cast.

Miniature effect

Creates a diorama effect. You can change where the image looks sharp. The camera will focus at the center of the white frame and the AF method will be fixed at [FlexiZone - Single].
