Configured for the aspiring filmmaker, the black EOS M6 Mirrorless Digital Camera with 15-45mm Lens Video Creator Kit from Canon bundles the mirrorless body with the versatile EF-M 15-45mm f3.5-6.3 IS STM lens, a Rode VideoMic GO On-Camera Microphone, and a 32GB SDHC memory card. Together, these items form the essentials needed To record well-rounded Full HD 1080p movies with enhanced audio.
A well-rounded mirrorless camera for both stills and video use, the black EOS M6 from Canon offers apt imaging qualities with a refined, functional physical design. Making use of a 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor, both high-resolution stills and Full HD 1080p/60 video can be recorded, while the DIGIC 7 image processor affords a wide expanded sensitivity Range from ISO 100-25600, along with quick continuous shooting up To 9 fps. The sensor design also facilitates Dual Pixel CMOS AF, which uses phase-detection autofocus for quick, accurate, and smooth performance To suit both stills and video use. Additionally, Combination IS 5-axis image stabilization also helps To realize steady, shake-free recording by minimizing the appearance of camera shake.
Alongside the imaging attributes, the EOS M6 also incorporates a large 3.0" 1.04m-dot touchscreen LCD for intuitive control, and the screen design tilts To enable easier shooting from high and low working angles. Additionally, built-in Wi-Fi with NFC is available for quick and convenient pairing with a smartphone or tablet for wireless image sharing, and Bluetooth is also featured for image sharing To and remote camera control from a mobile device.
Both a 24.2MP APS-C CMOS sensor and DIGIC 7 image processor are used To deliver high sensitivity and fast camera performance To suit both stills and video applications. A flexible ISO 100-25600 Range suits working in a variety of lighting conditions, and the processing capabilities minimize noise for notable clarity. The processor also contributes To a fast 7 fps continuous shooting rate, which can be quickened To 9 fps with AF lock, for photographing fast-moving subjects. Full HD 1080p video recording is also supported at up To a 60 fps frame rate. Additionally, the processor affords a fast camera startup time and short interval times between each frame for a more intuitive and efficient shooting process.
Dual Pixel CMOS AF offers smooth and fast focusing performance in a similar manner To how a camcorder acquires focus. This system integrates two separate photodiodes within each pixel To provide a broad and dense network of phase-detection gathering elements across a majority of the image sensor To reduce focus hunting for faster, more direct control of focus placement. When working with still imagery, this focusing system works To acquire focus quickly and accurately, making it ideally suited To shooting and tracking moving subjects so that critical focus is attained with each shot. When shooting video, a Movie Servo AF mode offers smooth and natural focusing when changing from different subjects or different distances within the scene, as well as the ability To specify tracking sensitivity, AF speed, and Face Tracking priority. Benefited by the Touch AF system, rack focus is possible simply by touching elements within the scene on the touchscreen in order To change focus in an intuitive manner. Subject tracking in movies is also heightened due To the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system ability To recognize subjects and maintain focus when working within changing or cluttered scenery.
Combination IS uses the built-in 5-axis digital image stabilization in conjunction with lens-based image stabilization systems To effectively minimize the appearance of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting. This benefits recording while walking or moving, and can also be used in conjunction with lenses featuring optical IS for more effective overall stabilization.
Included with the camera body is the versatile standard zoom EF-M 15-45mm f3.5-6.3 IS STM lens, which provides a 24-72mm equivalent focal length Range. Three aspherical elements help To control chromatic aberrations and distortions throughout the zoom Range and an optimized lens placement works To reduce flare and ghosting. An Optical Image Stabilizer works To minimize the appearance of camera shake by up To 3.5 stops for sharper handheld shooting and an STM stepping motor provides fast, smooth, and near-silent autofocus performance.
Longer than Rode VideoMicro and with a narrower pickup pattern, the Rode VideoMic GO camera-mount shotgun microphone offers enhanced off-axis rejection for tighter directionality. Like the VideoMicro, it runs on plug-in power and has no controls or switches, making it well suited for mobile journalists, vloggers, and run-and-gun shooters in a hurry.
This compact and lightweight shotgun microphone features an integrated shockmount that mounts directly To your DSLR, mirrorless, or video camera and reduces noise from vibrations and camera handling. The windscreen design reduces wind noise, making it well suited for outdoor shoots. The detachable coiled 3.5mm TRS cable ensures easy hookup To your camera, and the dual-mono output means that no channel Selection is necessary on your recording device.
Whereas most built-in camera microphones pick up sound from all directions, this microphone utilizes a supercardioid polar pattern To focus on sound in front of it while attenuating sound from the sides and rear. Its active electronics and directional condenser element deliver more detailed audio than the mics typically found in cameras and portable recorders.
A detachable coiled 3.5mm cable is supplied for fast hookup To your camera. The cable is wired in a dual-mono configuration, ensuring that the mic signal is sent identically To both input channels of your camera or portable recorder.
No batteries are required To operate the VideoMic GO. Just connect the microphone To your camera or recorder, enable plug-in power on the device, and forget about swapping or charging batteries.
Understanding that the rubber bands used in many shockmounts can snap and stretch, Rode chose To integrate a rugged Rycote Lyre suspension-style shockmount. This simplifies setup of the mic and inhibits the transfer of vibrations from the camera. Plus, the bottom of the shockmount features a camera shoe mount with a 3/8" thread, ensuring easy attachment To your camera or a boompole such as Rode Micro Boompole (available separately).
The VideoMic GO has a foam windscreen To reduce unwanted wind noise from breezes, fans, heaters, and air conditioners. for maximum reduction of wind noise in outdoor environments, consider a furry windshield such as the Rode DeadCat GO (available separately).
Expand the microphone device compatibility with Rode accessories such as the SC4, SC7, and VXLR+ (all available separately). with either the SC4 or SC7, you can connect the VideoMic GO directly To a smartphone or tablet equipped with a 3.5mm TRRS jack. The VXLR+ adapter is the ideal solution when you want To record the VideoMic GO To a camcorder or mixer that has XLR inputs.
