Canon EF-M Users unite!

thanks for the timely review - being an M3 user I have been looking for a while but held off on the path of M5-M6... etc.

The M3 slow focus has been a source of frustration and lost moments. Plus no hotshoe when the EVF is installed so unable to use the remote flash triggers.

Is there a wired remote trigger prt - I can't seem to work that one out?

You’re welcome and glad you enjoyed it yeah I felt the same regarding AF on the M5 but I feel it’s a big upgrade!

No there’s no wired port, only a digital out and HDMI port so your main options are the BR-E1 which is a Bluetooth remote or using the EOS Utility App.

I was pretty annoyed about not being able to use my old IR remote but with that one you needed line of sight for it to work and distance was limited. With the BR-E1 being Bluetooth, you can trigger it from anywhere and much further so I do kind if enjoy it.

Early morning above Houston, Texas.

I have the BR-E1 and really like it but it does have its limitations. It has an AF button and Wide and Tele for focusing and zooming. You can do Bulb with it - first press opens the shutter and second press closes it - so it's pretty basic. As Daniel says it has decent range and direct line-of-sight isn't required.

Having a lot of fun with my new 7Artisans 35mm f/1.2 MF lens, and for my casual shooting it's iq is just fine.

So this remote will allow > 30sec exposures

What settings on the body is required - manual?

You would need to go into the manual and set shooting type to remote timer 2 sec

Thanks - who would have thought the manual would be useful!!

Now to convince the CFO ^_^ as there is a sale on in fleaBay making it <795

Haha yeah I guess they make them for a reason after all

I managed to convince mine by ensuring I’d sell the M5 to find it haha. That price is definitely good though!

Stopped by a local market to pick up some things for dinner today
