by Dual Pixel CMOS AF, the compact and light Canon EOS M6 boasts of high
sensitivity 24.2 megapixel, APS-C sensor and latest image processor to deliver
high on precision for polished

SINGAPORE, 15 February
2017 – Canon
today announced the launch of the EOS M6, the latest addition to its mirrorless
range of cameras designed as modern all-rounder reflecting the best balance of
convenient portability and easy functionality. 
Equipped with advanced technologies which are adopted from the
professional EOS range cameras, the compact-size EOS M6 weighs approximately
390 grams (including the body, battery and card) and achieves high speed and a
sharply precise AF that is capable of capturing fast moving subjects in still
or videos. Available in sophisticated black graphite and vintage silver and
black combination, the EOS M6 packs a punch with the new APS-C sensor and DIGIC
7 image processor to deliver high image clarity with low noise levels.

“The compact-sized EOS M6 excels in having a
good balance of imaging power and convenience, making it a desirable camera of
choice for users who relish the versatility of mirrorless photography. With
Canon’s dual pixel CMOS AF technology, significant enhancements in AF speed and
precision tracking enables users to capture superb quality pictures and videos
without the associated bulk.” said Edwin Teoh, Head of Marketing, Singapore
Operations, Canon Singapore. “Coupled with a comprehensive line-up of
interchangeable lenses, users will now have more avenues to flex their creative
muscles and develop their artistic flair.”

Rapid
and precise AF performance with Dual Pixel CMOS AF

Powered by Dual Pixel CMOS AF with
approximately 24.2 million phase-difference sensors, AF is possible on
approximately an 80% x 80% area of the focal plane’s entire surface. This
enables fast and accurate tracking when shooting stills and video, even when the
subject is positioned at the edges of the frame. The touch AF further
facilitates efficiency when conducting focus adjustments especially during
macro and portrait shoots. Additionally, minute adjustments of the AF frame can
also be done effortlessly through the controller wheel in the magnified view
for accurate and precise focus.

The improved noise reduction performance as
enabled by the DIGIC 7 image processor expands the normal ISO speed range from
100 to 25600. This notable improvement ensures sharp and crisp image quality
even when shooting in low-light conditions.

Movie
shooting

Full HD of 60p is supported, allowing the EOS
M6 to capture smooth and beautiful footage. With the combination of Dual Pixel
CMOS AF technology and STM lens, the EOS M6 allow users to achieve fast and
accurate tracking during video shooting to achieve cinematographic effects and
noise reduction movies.

The EOS M6 also features Combination IS with
in-camera 5-axis image stabilization through a compatible lens. Combination IS
leverages optical IS and in-camera digital IS to help create seamless videos.
Additionally, the DIGIC 7 image processor makes the 5-axis image stabilization
possible even with lenses that do not contain IS due to the independent
in-camera image stabilization that reduces camera shake during video shoots.

Intuitive
user experience with improved ergonomics

With a 3.0” touch panel LCD screen that tilts
180 degrees upwards and 45 degrees downwards, users have the flexibility of
taking photos from different angles without comprising on the image quality.
The quick dial controls also simplify adjustments even while on foot as
settings can be switched around quickly without needing to toggle back to the
menu screen. This provides a significant improvement to the levels of comfort
and freedom for users, especially when shooting in manual mode.

With a screen size of 0.39” and approximately
2.36 million dots OLED panel, the optional electronic viewfinder (EVF-DC2) is
comparably smaller and lighter than the conventional EVFs.  For the user, the EVF reflects a highly
accurate image representation of what is seen by the camera sensor without
interference from glare. The EOS M6 is compatible with selected Canon camera
models such as PowerShot G1 X Mark II, PowerShot G3 X, EOS M3 and EOS M3.

Seamless
with Bluetooth Low Energy technology

With Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity, users can
transfer images and videos from the camera to the smart devices and upload them
onto the Canon Image Gateway, social media platforms and cloud storage. And by
using the Canon Camera Connect app, users have real-time control of camera
settings such as shutter speed, focus selection and self-timer and more.

In addition, EOS M6 features Bluetooth Low
Energy which maintains constant connection to a compatible smart device at a
low power consumption. With this constant connection, users can view images,
start remote capture from the camera, even when the camera is in Auto Power Off
mode. Smart devices with Bluetooth can wake the camera up, and switch to Wi-fi
for browsing and viewing images or perform remote capture (with live view).
Users can also use Bluetooth to perform basic remote capture (no live view),
control image playback and slide show when the camera is connected to a TV or
projector via smart devices.

Easy
switch of lenses for changing your perspectives

The EOS M6 is available in 2 kit options:
EF-M18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS kit and EF-M15-45mm F3.5-6.3 IS kit. For existing EOS
DSLR users, the Mount Adapter (sold separately) allows full compatibility with
over 70 EF/EF-S lenses. This offers users a wider range of creative options and
shooting perspectives all without compromising on image quality and
capabilities.
