MANUAL

EOS M2 (W)

Introduction

The EOS M2 is a high-performance, interchangeable-lens digital camera featuring a fine-detail CMOS sensor with approx. 18.0 effective megapixels, DIGIC 5, Hybrid CMOS AF II, approx. 4.6 fps continuous shooting, Full HighDefinition (Full HD) movie shooting, and Wi-Fi functions. 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.345-346) and “Handling Precautions” (p.20-22).

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.

Compatible Cards

In this manual, “card” refers to SD memory cards, SDHC memory cards, and SDXC memory cards. * The camera does not come with any cards for recording images/

movies. Please purchase these cards separately.

The camera can use the following cards regardless of capacity. If the card is

new or was previously formatted by another camera or computer, formatting the card with this camera is recommended (p.57).

• SD memory cards

• SDHC memory cards*

• SDXC memory cards*

* UHS-I cards supported.

Cards that Can Record Movies

When shooting movies, use a large-capacity SD card rated SD Speed Class 6 “ ” or higher.

 If you use a slow-writing card when shooting movies, the movie may not

be recorded properly. Also, if you play back a movie on a card with a slow reading speed, the movie may not play back properly.

 If you want to shoot still photos while shooting a movie, you will need an

even faster card.

 To check a card’s reading/writing speed, refer to the card manufacturer’s

Web site.

Handling Precautions

Camera Care

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

physical shock.

 Do not point the camera toward an intense light source, such as the sun

on a sunny day or an intense artificial light source. Doing so may damage the image sensor or 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 and clean cloth. If the camera has been exposed to salty air, wipe it with a wellwrung wet cloth.

 Never leave the camera near anything that has 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 misoperation 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 fro m 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. T o 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.

Handling Precautions

 Avoid storing the camera where there are chemicals that result in rust

and corrosion such as in a chemical lab.

 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 such as a foreign trip coming up, have the camera checked by the nearest Canon Service Center 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.

 If you use continuous shooting or movie shooting for a prolonged

period, the camera may become hot. This is not a malfunction.

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 displaying only black or red, etc. among the remaining 0.01% or less pixels. Dead pixels 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.

Handling Precautions

Contacts

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 that has 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.

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.

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.

Lens Mount

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