Rich detail and lighting fast performance

From city skylines and enchanting landscapes to urban art and eye-catching portraits, the
EOS M3 delivers clarity, rich colour and distinctive detail with every image. As light starts to
fade and dusk descends, the EOS M3 excels with the 24.2 MP sensor’s vast 100-12,800 ISO

situations.

Constructed for speed, whether you’re shooting an elusive animal on safari or street
performers on a city break, the subject of your shot will be in focus with the EOS M3’s 49-
point AF system and innovative new Hybrid CMOS AF III technology delivering lightning-fast
performance.

Putting you in control – iconic EOS design and controls
The EOS M3 incorporates the EOS design DNA and fits comfortably in the palm of your hand
thanks to the fluid design grip. Direct access to a range of controls, including an exposure
compensation dial, main control dial and customisable button lets you adjust the camera’s
settings to suit your shooting style.

For complete framing versatility, the large 7.5cm (3.0”) LCD touchscreen tilts up 180 degrees
and down 45 degrees to help you shoot from all angles, while also making multi-touch
gestures a finger tap away. The screen also gives you access to Canon’s intuitive touch menu
system found on EOS DSLRs.

The EOS M3 is a camera to make your own, with customisable controls, a hot shoe for
Canon’s Speedlite flashes and optional EVF DCI tilt-type electronic viewfinder. Compatibility
with EF-M lenses, including a choice of pancake and zoom lenses, means you can shoot any
situation. The EF-M range includes: EF-M 22mm, EF-M 55-200mm, EF-M 11-22mm and EF-M18-55mm. NB: With the use of an EF Mount Adaptor, the EF range of lenses may also be
compatible.

Plus, with Creative Assist, the EOS M3 can be controlled from the touch screen interface, and
the effects previewed in real time as you shoot. Settings such as brightness, background blur,
vividness of colour, contrast, warmth and filter effects can be altered, and combinations can
be saved to be called upon again when you need them.

Budding movie makers can shoot in Full HD quality with a choice of 24p, 25p and 30p frame

Touch AF gives you the flexibility to select AF points on the LCD even with moving subjects,
and create professional-looking pull focus effects. For full control, Manual Movie puts you in
the director’s seat, with complete aperture, shutter and ISO control for stunningly creative
results.
