The Canon EOS M5 EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM Lens Kit is a versatile mirrorless camera featuring a 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor
and DIGIC 7 image processor. Combined, these technologies afford a wide
sensitivity range, from ISO 100-25600, along with quick performance for
up to 9 fps continuous shooting and Full HD 1080p/60 video recording.
The sensor's design also provides Dual Pixel CMOS AF, which offers quick
and accurate phase-detection autofocus for multimedia use. This
focusing system is particularly well-suited to subject tracking, and
pairs with Digital IS 5-axis image stabilization for steadier,
shake-free video recording.
Complementing the imaging capabilities, the camera's design is equally
versatile due to the inclusion of both a 2.36m-dot electronic viewfinder
along with a large 3.2" 1.62m-dot LCD tilting touchscreen. The
touchscreen design enables Touch and Drag AF for intuitive focusing
point control, and an array of additional physical dials and control
buttons provide an efficient means for settings changes. Additionally,
the camera sports built-in Wi-Fi with NFC for quick and convenient
pairing with a smartphone or tablet for wireless image sharing, and
Bluetooth Smart is also featured for image sharing to and remote camera
control from a mobile device.
Included with the camera body is the standard zoom EF-M 15-45mm
f/3.5-6.3 IS STM lens, which provides a 24-72mm equivalent focal length
range. The STM stepping motor delivers quick, quiet autofocus
performance and the Optical Image Stabilizer compensates for 3.5 stops
of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. The lens' optical design
also incorporates a trio of aspherical elements to control chromatic
aberrations throughout the zoom range for sharper, clearer image
quality.
