The Canon EOS M100 Mirrorless Digital Camera is easy to use and produces vibrant picture quality with its companion, the Canon 15–45mm zoom lens. The camera also accepts other Canon EF-M lenses. The 24.2 MP APS-C size CMOS sensor and DIGIC 7 image processor work together to produce images of amazing clarity and high color accuracy in any lighting condition. The ISO sensitivity of the camera ranges from 100–25600 and the shutter speed can be increased to 1/4000th of a second. The exposure mode can be set to aperture, shutter, manual, or program mode. Working in dim light is also made convenient by the built-in flash that has a guide number of 16.4 ft at ISO 100. The camera runs on an LP-E12 rechargeable Li-ion battery.
Optics and Focus
The Canon 15–45mm zoom lens comes along with the M100 mirrorless camera. It has an aperture range of f/3.5–6.3 and offers a viewing angle of 84° 30'–33° 40'. The lens design comprises 10 optical elements in 9 groups. Three aspherical elements are included in the lens construction to ensure image sharpness and clarity throughout the zoom range. An STM stepping motor handles the autofocusing performance, facilitating a quiet and quick operation. The optical image stabilizer ensures there is no shaky footage up to 3.5 stops when shooting handheld. In addition to the lens focus, the camera comes with a Dual Pixel CMOS AF system that is akin to the focus offered by a camcorder. The Dual Pixel CMOS AF provides accurate focus with its 49 phase-detection points. For recording videos, the Movie Servo AF ensures smooth focusing, with automatic detection of different subjects and distances in the scene at hand.
The Canon 55-200mm is a lightweight, compact, telephoto zoom lens. This EF lens has a 5-group optical zoom system and STM focusing technology. With one aspheric and one UD lens element, this lens is able to reduce optical aberrations. The Canon 55-200mm lens has a focal length of 200mm (35mm equivalent: 320mm).
Sensor and Screen
The 24.2 MP APS-C CMOS sensor of the Canon EOS M100 Mirrorless camera can produce crystal clear images with the help of a maximum ISO of 25600. A dust-reduction system is integrated into the camera for cleaning the sensor and helping maintain image clarity and contrast. This camera has a 180°-rotating, 3-inch, touchscreen LCD that offers a resolution of 1040k dots. Its 100% screen coverage lets you see the final result prior to capturing.
Image and Video
This Canon EOS camera captures 6000×4000 dpi images in both RAW and JPEG formats. You may record full HD videos too at 60 fps. Both videos and photos can be set to a maximum aspect ratio of 16:9. In the burst setting, the camera can take up to 21 frames in RAW and 89 frames in JPEG at 6.1 fps. With the DIGIC 7 image processor, the camera provides clean photo quality with minimum noise. Additionally, the processor contributes to a continuous shooting rate.
Other Features
With the Canon M100 digital camera, you may share captured images and videos to smartphones by using the built-in WiFi and NFC connectivity. The camera flash has a guide number of 16.4 ft at ISO 100 and can synchronize with the shutter at 1/200th of a second. A microphone is integrated into the camera for simultaneous audio recording in video mode. The self-timer allows you to set the shutter-release delay up to 10 seconds. With the HDMI connectivity, the captured videos or images can be played on an HD TV directly. Moreover, the captured media can be transferred to your PC through the USB 2.0 interface. This mirrorless camera comes with an 875mAh LP-E12 Li-ion battery.
