Hello again, Izzy at Digital Goja showrooms!
Well, it's time for another
frequently asked question video and this
time it's on the big buzz around this
new camera from Canon, the EOS M5
digital ILC camera.
This happens to be their newest in the
lineup of mirrorless.
What did I do?
Of course
I went online, scoured the
internet, I went on Amazon web sites
different websites where people were
posting questions on how the features
work on this camera and how to work with
this brand-new interchangeable lens
mirrorless from the Canon line-up.

has one of the nation's largest in-store selection of
authorized Canon cameras and lenses.
Here are some beginner questions asked about the Canon EOS M5.
Does it have a touchscreen?
Yes, a nice
large 3.2 inch, notice how I can actually
touch focus wherever I choose, so I can
go ahead and pick where I want it to
focus and I can angle it, so notice how I
can actually move the screen to the
corresponding angle that I prefer.
Plus, it
gives me access to my menu so I can do
anything that I choose to in the menu.
It
could all be changed with the
Touchscreen, so yes, Canon did a great job
with their new 3.2 inch touchscreen.
How much does EOS M5 kit costs?
Well, this kit, which is the current one that's
available with the EF M 15-45mm IS STM
lens is $1,099.
If you just want to
buy the body alone which will also be
available that will be $980
Does it have a creative mode?
Yes, they did, this has been really
popular on some of their point-and-shoots.
It's the, on the dial, it's a little
diagram with the camera and the star in
the top.
Turn it on and now you can go
ahead and choose which mode you want to
Do, you want to change your color tone,
Saturation, contrast, brightness and you
can even change the blurring of the
background where you want it blurred or
not and again the beauty of it is that I
can do it with the touchscreen, so you
can see the effect right away.
Nice feature, they made it really simple
to be much more creative with the EOS M5.
Is it made out of magnesium or plastic?
Well, they don't use the term plastic,
it's a polycarbonate, very well put
together.
Honestly that's the reason why
they can make this camera just a little
bit shy of 22 ounces in this combination
with the 15-45 very sturdy, feels
great in the hand but it's not magnesium
Alloy, that way you also have the
capability of working with Wi-Fi and
their new Bluetooth connection.
Can I use Wi-Fi?
Well not only Wi-Fi, they added also
Bluetooth for a much more secure
connectivity system, so we go into the
menu and scroll to the toolbar and there you
have your wireless settings, you have
your Wi-Fi connection and notice how you
can connect it, I have it set up for an
iPhone or you can also connect it to a
wireless printer.
You can also set it to
even a DLNA TV set monitors, so they made
it really easy and secure to connect
wirelessly to your smart devices.
Can I crop an image after I shoot it on
my EOS M5?
Absolutely, they made it really
simple with this nice big 3.2 inch
screen, so there we go we have a picture
of Digital Goja showroom from the outside,
so we're going to hit the Q set and
we're going to set crop image.
You can
change the perspective zoom in there and
then we go over here to crop and save.
Save new image,
Boom, now you have a new image.
Wow look
at that,
so yes, absolutely it allows you to do
your post editing for your crop right in
the camera.
Does it have an HDR mode?
Yes it does and they made it really
simple, it's on your command dial, hold it
down, set it to the two inter looping
circles and you now have your HDR mode
and you can change your different
version, you have art vivid, you have art bold,
you have art embossed, natural and then
back to art standard.
Very simple to do
HDR mode with the EOS M5.
Does it have a hybrid mode?
Yes, that's
become really popular with Canon, there's
your hybrid mode where it does clips and
video and combines them in camera to get
basically, the way to explain is like a
Trailer.
So that's your hybrid mode on your EOS M5.
Can I use my Sony e-mount lenses with my
M5?
No, well, you know, they kind of look similar that's the reason why I think
people are getting confused because of
the size.
Here I have a very popular
Sigma 30 1.4 in the e-mount but notice the
connections are completely different.
Can I change the ISO?
Absolutely, you just
can't do it on intelligent auto, you have
to go to at least program and of course
all your other settings, but this dial
right here, the dial function, I can go
ahead and switch it if I want to do
white balance or press it again and
switch it over to ISO and then I can
change my ISO you know as high as I
want to, I mean this guy says you can
shoot at 25,600.
I'll be doing a video
later on where we're actually going to put it
to the test to see and I can go all the
way down to ISO 100.
Is it the same sensor as the canon EOS 80D?
Well, it's the same size.
I don't know if they went ahead and
recycled the sensor and they're putting
the same sensor in the EOS M5, but
it's the same size aps-c sensor.
Notice
how they're pretty much identical here.
Does it have a built-in flash?
Well, yes it does a lot of people thought
that this camera wasn't going to have
one and there it is right there.
it does have a small built-in flash, the
guide number is like 18 so it's there to
help you out but the beauty of it is
that it does have an external hot shoe so
you can work with some of the more
popular flashes out there.
Here I have the new Canon speedlite
430ex III RT, mounts in there and it works
fully as one.
Notice how it fires perfectly and
it has no issue with focusing and with
using the full TTL when it fires.
Here are some advanced questions asked
about the Canon EOS M5.
Is the EOS M5 good for Vlogging?
Well they did a great
feature by this screen doing this, but
remember their tripod goes over here
so I would suggest maybe using your
wireless smartphone to use it as the
monitor while you're vlogging because it
does have the Wi-Fi and Bluetooth built-in,
but this is the way that I would
Suggest it because remember your tripod
socket is under here so you have to use
that other solution, but it should do the
job for you.
Does it have dual pixel AF CMOS?
Absolutely, this is just like your 80D
and you can pick the focusing however
you want, just make sure you don't touch
this because it switches over to
electronic viewfinder and it has the
focus drag, I love that feature where you
can nice and gently bring it into focus
wherever you want.
So if I want to have it focus in the
background or bring it over here focus
on the on the logo I can do so by just
dragging it across.
Can I record 4k video?
No, this one doesn't do 4k video but you
do have the capability of shooting at 60
frames per second at full 1080p and
notice how I can change it in the menu.
Here I can go to as down to 24 frames
per second and if I go to not full HD I
can shoot at also 60 frames per second
and at VGA at 640 by 480 at 30 frames
per second.
Does it have high-speed sync?
Yes it does, but of course it has to be
with a compatible flash.
Here I happen to
have very popular, the 430EX III RT, the
flash on the camera is a nice-size
compact, lock it
turn on the camera, lets go into our
menu and we're going to go into our
camera menu and notice that I'm in the
fifth folder, let's go to flat control
I can use the touchscreen, here we go
external flash settings, click on that,
oh it works better when you turn on the
Flash.
Now we do it again,
there you go so there's your ETTL
wireless, zoom auto, here's your settings
so you have first curtain, second curtain
and there you go
high-speed sync.
So now I can go ahead
and choose you know really fast shutter
speeds, so if I want to shoot at 1/3200
of a second I can go ahead and
do so and fire off and I can get the
flash to work perfectly every single
Time.
Does this bother you?
Beep-beep-beep
beep-beep-beep-beep … Well, you can get rid
of the beep.
Go into the menu, go to the
tool setting and we're going to go to
the third folder, click on where it says
beep and turn it off.
So now, I actually have to
turn it off,
there we go.
So now the beep is gone, now,
it still has a shutter noise you can't
get rid of that it doesn't get
completely silent but you did get rid of
that noisy beep, the beep is gone.
Does it have IBIS?
Yes it does, but it
only works on video, its electronic image,
in body image stabilization, we go into
the menu and you're going to go into the
camera menu and you can touch over or
scroll over to the fourth folder and
move down to IS settings, activate that
and here you can switch it to continuous
or off, so that's activated and you have
standard and you even have enhanced if
you have as they say vigorous hand
Movement, probably a lot of movement
involved I would set it to that.
Alright so, can I process in my camera my
raw images?
Absolutely, you don't have your computer,
you're out and about and you want to transfer
your files through the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth
setting to your tablet or smartphone.
They made it really simple,
so you first playback shows you the raw
File, hit menu, you're going to go into
your third folder and scroll down to raw
image processing, select, now you have the
Image, hit set, menu, ok and then you can
use shot settings and customize it for
0:24:25.090,0:24:27.100 Processing, makes it really simple to
process and send it right to your
smartphone or tablet.
Can I program my dials and buttons to do
certain different characteristics?
Absolutely, but we have to go into the
menu first, so we go into menu and you're
going to go into your custom menu
setting and scroll down to where it says
custom function number two, others and
now you can actually go ahead and
reprogram your dials and buttons to have
different designated functions.
That's pretty impressive, that way you
can set it up to your liking.
Yes, they thought of how many of us out
there like to work on manual focus so
we're going to go into the menu and
we're going to go into the fourth folder
and look at your setting for focused
peak settings and you can actually
activate it here and you can pick high
or low level in the color and you can
actually choose the color that you
prefer, so, if you want to do yellow set
it up
and you notice how it changes to yellow
when it's in focus.
That's pretty impressive.
Does it have clean HDMI out for
Recording?
No, I'm afraid not, they gave you micro
HDMI to HDMI but that's just for
playback purposes that does not allow
you to record through here.
Does it have auto exposure bracketing?
Absolutely, we’ll go into the menu setting
and we're going to go into the camera
and we're going to switch down to the
fourth folder and that's your auto
exposure bracketing and here you can
actually change up to three stops
difference for three images, notice how I
can actually set the amount of distance
by the amount of the exposure whether I want
one negative or positive and I can
change the amount that I want, I can
choose
however I set it, hit OK and that way
it'll take multiple images and gives you
auto bracketing.
Can I change my quick function menu?
Absolutely, you now have the capability
of going into your cue menu and pre
determining which one of these you want
activated, so we go into the menu and
we're going to go to the second tab for
camera and switch down to and again you
can do it this way or remember you have
the capability of touching on the screen
and I can go ahead and now D-click or
add whatever I want to be on my quick
function menu, that's a fantastic feature,
this is something that was available in
their higher end cameras,
it's now available on their new
EOS M5.
Does it have a built-in leveler?
Yes it
does,
all you have to do is access your
information by hitting the info button
and there it is, it gives you your
orientation for your pitch and yaw and
horizontal too, so all that information is
being displayed on the info section of
your screen, makes it very easy to make
sure your camera is completely leveled.
Does it have a microphone input?
Yes it does, it does have built in mono
microphone connection but honestly if
you're gonna do professional audio you
want to use an external mic.
So notice
how here we have the 3.5 port so that
way you can connect your external
microphone whether it's a condenser or
lavalier.
They did not give you a
headphone jack,
they only gave you a microphone jack.
So if you're looking for a headphone
jack it does not have one but it does
have for external microphone input.
