Offers professional features and Joy of Having Cameras


When I first set my eyes on the EOS M3, I was surprised by how different it looks compared with the EOS M. In contrast to the compact and relaxed impression that the EOS M gives, EOS M3 evoke a sense of grandeur that is characteristic of the camera. My expectations were high at first glance. the weight is balanced, and the grip feels comfortable also when I held the camera in my hand. This alone is enough to build my excitement. EOS M3 provides a firm hold, so that the SLR camera users will have no problem getting used to it. Personally, I am very impressed with the simple structure of the new strap mount and characters engraved on it. Instead of seeing the EOS M3 as a successor model of the EOS M, it may be better to think of them as two types of cameras.

What I like most about the changes made to the appearance on the Mode Dial is the addition of EOS M3. Although I am familiar with a touch-screen controls, smooth operation with the use of fast, that my fingers have taken intuitively. I have used fast to switch between shooting modes and apply exposure compensation. You can use either the touch screen or dial depending on which is more convenient for the situation. For example, in cases such as when the camera is mounted to a tripod, I would take advantage of the touch screen to operate the Quick Control menu and release the shutter using the touch shutter function.

1. Equipped with DialYou mode can change the shooting mode with the Mode Dial intuitive. In this example, I use the "Art Bold Effect" Creative Filters to add impact to image.Yet Another fun feature is the compatibility of the camera with the electronic viewfinder (EVF). As with the touch-sensitive panel, while I have become comfortable with using the back of the LCD monitor to take photos, look through the viewfinder offers a different way of spotting and capture photographic subjects. I choose between the back of the LCD monitor and EVF depending on the subject and my mood at the time. In its default setting, the camera automatically switches from the back of the LCD monitor EVF when you approach the eye lens. But I changed the setting to enable manual switching.

2. Tilt-type rear LCD monitor the shot is taken from levels just slightly above the soil surface. Equipped with a tilt-type rear LCD monitor, I can catch such a low-angle shots with ease.

3. speedThanks AF faster AF speed significantly faster, I could capture this moment I met in the street.
I am also very pleased with the tilt-type LCD rear monitor adopted in EOS M3, partly because I personally prefer a tilt-type to Vari-angle LCD monitor. The Vari-angle LCD monitor is not aligned with the lens, so I had trouble getting the feel right at the time. Instead, tilt-type LCD monitor, which is aligned with the optical axis, it is much easier to use. Most of my subject for this shoot move that, like animals, children and sports activities. I feel that the faster the speed AF has contributed a higher probability to achieve focus. Even for street snaps, I can capture the decisive moment without stress. The "Creative Assist" feature seems more suited to conditions such as landscapes shoots where you have time to write a proper shot, not for an instant snapshot. Have fun can share photos via Wi-Fi internet connection immediately after being taken, are characteristic features of this digital era.

I am very pleased with the image quality of the EOS M, and EOS M3 also met my expectations in this aspect, so it would have been nice to print photos in large format. My initial plan was to use the EOS M3 as a sub camera to the EOS 5D or EOS 6D. However, it seems that the EOS M3 alone is good enough to produce photographic work.

4. Equipped with Creative Assist featureWith this feature, you can perform operations such as adjusting the color and brightness while viewing the screen. It allows you to produce images as intended, and is recommended for beginners.

5. Support for NFC makes functions more convenient Wi-Fi
Use Camera Connect app for the remote control. NFC-compatible Android smartphone can be connected to the camera with a simple tap.

EOS M3 GalleryThe Warmth Light - A glimpse into the Heartbeat of foreign TownLight not seem the same every time I travel to different parts of the world. Of course, one reason is because of differences in latitude and longitude. I am interested to warm light, especially sunlight slanting in the morning and evening. EVF is indispensable when it comes to capturing images with light consideration. This allows me to concentrate on a world that unfolds before my eyes and engross himself in a "short trip" got caught when the soft sunlight.
