TWO INTERFACES

By default the M200 uses Canon’s Guided interface,

but this can be changed to the Standard interface

with customisable My Menu section, via the Display

Level setting in the main menu.

WI-FI AND BLUETOOTH

Built-in Wi-Fi and Bluetooth connectivity enables the

M200 to connect quickly to a smartphone for easy

image sharing and remote control, via Canon’s free

Camera Connect app.

4K VIDEO

The M200 applies a 1.6x crop to the framing when

the video is set to 4K. This means the 15-45mm kit

lens acts like a 38.4-115mm in 35mm terms.

POP-UP FLASH

Although it doesn’t have a hot shoe for mounting

an external flashgun, the M200 has a small pop-up

flash with a guide number of 5m at ISO 100.

DUAL PIXEL CMOS AF

All the pixels on the M200’s sensor have two

photodiodes, and their signals are read separately

to enable phase detection autofocussing. However,

they are read together for image creation.

FLIP SCREEN

The touchscreen can flip up through 180 degrees

to be viewed in front of the camera. A record icon

makes it easier to start/stop recording video.

autofocussing and 6.1fps in single AF mode is

reasonable for an entry-level camera.

Canon’s Dual Pixel CMOS AF system is

one of the most capable when it comes to

shooting video or stills in Live View mode on a

DSLR, and it gives good service in the M200

with up to 143 autofocus (AF) points (the

exact number depends upon the lens in use).

That’s up from 49 with the M100.

Unusually, there’s no AI servo made that can

switch automatically between One Shot (single

AF) and AI Servo (continuous AF) mode when

subject movement is detected. That’s not a

huge drama for enthusiast photographers, but

it means that beginners need to learn which

option to use with their subject.

The M200 allows individual AF points to be

selected, or there’s Zone AF mode that gives
