SLR camera which used the
Canon EF lens mount. It was introduced in 1991 for export to the non-Japanese market, and was the only manual focus camera in the EF line. It was not sold as part of
the EOS range; the camera's official name was ''Canon EF-M'' rather than ''Canon EOS EF-M''.
The EF-M was in essence a
Canon EOS 1000 without autofocus and replacing the top-deck LCD with a control dial.
It was priced slightly cheaper than the EOS 1000, and relatively few copies were sold. It was not directly available in Japan, though some were re-imported.
Uniquely amongst Canon EOS bodies it came with an optical manual focus aid, a split-image focusing screen as well as a ring of microprisms. This system was common with manual focus SLRs but had since fallen out of use in the autofocus era.
