24.2 MP CMOS (APS-C) Sensor

The EOS M5 camera features a 24.2 Megapixel (APS-C) sensor capable of capturing large image and movie files and delivering images suitable for enlargements with sufficient resolution for significant trimming. Whether making poster-sized prints, zooming in on a particular detail or making Full HD movies, the EOS M5’s sensor is primed to deliver. An ISO range of 100–25600 means images can be captured with low noise and high detail, even in dimly lit situations.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF

The EOS M5 camera’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF system offers fast and precise autofocus that stays locked onto your subject, even if your subject is in motion, for both photos and videos. This advanced Canon technology uses 24.2 million sensors to quickly determine how far away an object is and therefore where the lens should focus, and is available while using the electronic viewfinder and when using Live View on the rear screen.

Continuous Shooting

The EOS M5 camera can take up to 7.0 frames per second (up to 9.0 fps with AF Lock) and stay locked on with its DIGIC 7 Image Processor, which helps keep subjects in focus and ensure a high level of sharpness and minimum noise. Dual Sensing IS helps minimize the blur caused by camera shake and body movement. All this is in addition to upgraded detail and noise reduction abilities, especially in low light with high ISO settings.

Full HD 60p

Incredibly realistic 1080p Full HD video is recorded at 60 fps with stereo sound in convenient MP4 format. Video is smooth and richly detailed even when played back on a large-screen HDTV via the camera’s HDMI output. The MP4 format’s small file size makes storing, downloading and sharing quick and easy. Manual movie mode lets you adjust settings and even select focus points by using the touch panel LCD screen. You can do this even while looking through the viewfinder.

Digital IS

To counter unintentional shaking when moving, the EOS M5 camera features 5-axis Digital Image Stabilization3 when recording video. Blur due to movement in several directions is digitally minimized in-camera. For more stabilization, when a combination IS-compatible lens is attached, the EOS M5 can use the lens’s Optical IS in conjunction with Digital IS for even less chance of blur due to shaking. These features help ensure the videos you record are as sharp as possible.

Electronic Viewfinder

The built-in high-resolution electronic viewfinder features approximately 2,360,000 dots so you can see high amounts of detail in what you’re capturing. Its Organic Light Emitting Diode (OLED) technology offers high-contrast, high-color images. Touch and Drag AF lets you use the rear screen as a touchpad while you’re using the viewfinder, so you can focus with a touch without moving the camera away from your face.

Tilt-type Touchscreen LCD

The EOS M5 camera has a large, high-resolution, 3.2" LCD monitor that tilts up 85° and down 180°, ideal for composing pictures at high and low angles with ease. Its touch screen is designed to be fast and easy to use for many operations, allowing accessible AF selection right on the panel.

Five Control Dials

Multiple customizable dials help you keep the adjustments you want, right at your fingertips. The Main Dial is around the shutter, so you barely have to move your finger to change certain settings. The Quick Control Dial and Dial Function button on top lets you adjust settings like ISO speed quickly with your thumb. The handy Exposure Compensation Dial gives you fast access to exposure settings without having to dive through menus.
