Thread: Canon EOS-M

You watch the lens focus and then lock...small pause...then the focus confirmation comes up. I'm wondering if the EOS M does something similar.

Never used the G1X before. However the focusing is quite similar to what you illustrated.

Nope. Don't think there's an electronic distance scale. In fact, never found a need for distance scale display.
