Canon EOS M5 Kit Owner's Manual

Shoot more effectively in various scenes, and take shots enhanced with 

unique image effects or captured using special functions

Capture shots just as you imagine them, without having to know 

photography terms. Choose from easy-to-understand options to defocus 

the background, adjust brightness, or customize shots in other ways as 

you watch the screen. Once you save the settings you like, it’s easy to 

apply them again later. You can also apply settings from past images 

captured in [ ] mode.

This mode makes it easier to learn about Creative Zone shooting modes 

([ ], [

], [

], and [ ]), because you can check the corresponding 

settings in these modes when viewing images shot in [ ] mode.

Customize shots in these ways.
