Questions & Answers

I have an M5 and enjoy it, with the exception of one thing - The electronic viewfinder/focus/shutter adds a little too much time to the process. Is the M6 mk2 a step up from the M6 mk1?

My M6 isn't as good as the M5, but it's still a good camera. I'm assuming you're referring to shutter lag rather than focus time, which isn't a big deal. It's not as quick as my 5D MkIII, but it's fast enough that I don't think I missed any shots as a result. When it comes to focus speed, the lens has a big impact. F2. A lens with an aperture of 8 will focus much faster than a lens with an aperture of 5. 6 lens. Using my Canon 70 - 200 F2. My Sigma 17-35 IS L will clearly focus faster than the 8 IS L. 70 F2. My primary lens on the M6 is a 4 DC lens, but it isn't slow even with it.

will the evf-evf-evf-evf-ev Is it possible for dc2 to work at the same time while live-broadcasting over an HDMI cable?

It does not, in fact. I just took a look.

Is it possible to use this with SLR cameras?

It will not work with a SLR camera or a DSLR camera. It's made for Canon's mirrorless cameras (the EOS M, M3, M6, and so on).

Do you see peaking when manually focusing, and does this evf have a magnification? Thank you very much. ?

Peaking is a phenomenon that can be observed. At least with the three lenses I used with my Canon M6 on manual settings. Magnification does, in fact, work. The Electronic Viewfinder also shows the camera information that is shown on the screen.

Selected User Reviews For Canon Electronic Viewfinder EVF-DC2(BK)

This is an excellent addition
5/5

It ought to be included in the standard set of tools. After reading other Canon M6 camera reviews, I decided to buy the viewfinder! When I'm outside in the sun, I wear sunglasses with an automatic darkening tint, which makes it difficult to see the back LED screen. The viewfinder locks onto the camera (a push button release is provided) and allows you to see the entire frame! When your eye comes close to the viewfinder, the camera's LED screen blacks out. (Clever! ) Despite the high price, purchasing this viewfinder was a "no-brainer. " It should come as standard equipment with the camera.

Excellent photography equipment
5/5

This EVF was a must-have accessory for my Canon G3X. While the LCD screen is sufficient for some photography, a viewfinder is required in bright sunlight and other situations. It performs as advertised, displaying screen information and remaining on once turned on, allowing you to compose your shot using either the EVF or the LCD. It did, however, necessitate a firmware upgrade. Canon gives clear instructions on how to do so.

Through the viewfinder, the image quality is excellent
5/5

Following confirmation from Canon that the EVF-II is compatible, The DC2 is a stand-in for the EVF- I bought the DC2 after I bought the DC1. It's what I use with my Canon Powershot G1X Mark II. Before you can use the DC2, you must first update the firmware on the G1X by connecting it to a computer and downloading the new DC2 firmware. The EVF- The DC2 has all of the same features as the DC1, with the exception that it does not tilt, which I do not find to be a problem. Through the viewfinder, the image quality is excellent. When you put your eye close to the electronic viewfinder, the camera LCD turns off, and when you pull your eye away, it turns on again. On the camera menu, you can turn this feature off. The EVF- Eyeglasses can be fitted to DC2. There is no cropping when looking through the electronic viewfinder at what you can see on the LCD. The viewfinder also allows you to see all of the menus and photos you've taken. Because I wear transition lenses, I couldn't see details on the LCD screen even at the brightest setting when taking pictures outside in bright light. The DC2 solves this problem by allowing me to see everything through the viewfinder even when my glasses have gone completely dark. I also wore a baseball cap to reduce glare from above. I intend to depart from the EVF- DC2 is permanently attached to my camera, so I had to purchase a slightly larger camera bag to accommodate it. After all is said and done, the EVF- The DC2 is a fantastic addition to the G1X Mark II, as well as a much-needed one.

When the viewfinder is in use, it is only active
4/5

The viewfinder's disadvantage is that it only activates when your eye is brought up to it. When you move the camera away from your eye, it turns off because it isn't always activated. When photographing fast-paced sports or other similar activities, this is especially important. Because of that transition time, I've missed several good photo opportunities; I'd give it a 5-star rating. If there was a way to turn on the viewfinder only when it was needed for the duration of the shoot and then turn it off when it was no longer needed, I would give it a five-star rating.

Viewfinder is excellent
5/5

Despite the fact that the box was crushed in the bubble envelope, the evf works perfectly. You'd think a $200 item would be shipped in a well-padded box, regardless of how light it is.

For Canon EOS M6 Mk, this is a must-have accessory
5/5

Anyone interested in purchasing a Canon EOS M6 Mk should get this book. II. The colors are vibrant, and the screen is responsive; it's light, but you can tell it's made of metal, and it's reasonably durable overall. When it's not on the camera, it comes with a carry bag to keep it in.

It's fantastic, to be honest
5/5

Good. I bought this for my recently purchased M6 for my amateur photography. The camera did not come with a chame view finder, but after a few days of use, the camera's LCD screen was fine, but when I mounted the View finder, it was fantastic. Good. br>br>
1. The resolution and size are excellent.
2. The contrast is fantastic. br>3. Excellent brightness that can be adjusted from the main menu.
4. Colors appear to be natural, not washed out or oversaturated.
5. Easy to get in and out of,br>6. Without pushing the buttom on the left, the slide out is secure; without pushing the buttom, there is no slide out, which is fantastic.
7. By focusing with an external ring, it's simple to adapt to your eye.
8. When your eye gets closer to the view finder, the proximity sensor detects it and turns off the LCD, allowing you to focus on the viewfinder.
9. Anti-glare technology is built into the viewfinder. Reflective coating for improved light transmission and fewer reflections caused by incorrect eye alignment to the viewfinder. This option is available from a small number of vendors.
10. When not in use, it comes with a small bag for storage.
11. It's a huge step up from my old Canon Powershot S3 IS, which only had 6 megapixels.
12. The VF has access to all of the information that is displayed on the LCD.
13. This is a nice black color that matches the M6 black.
14. A piece of plastic that slides into the VF to protect some of the pins that make contact with the camera was included.
15. I also own a Sony RX100 IV, which I use primarily for video, but I believe the Canon VF is slightly superior. br>br>He wasn't mad, but he didn't like me very much.
1. The bill of materials for this VF is less than $20, so the price is $199. Canon's massive margin is in action here.
2. Size, it could be a little smaller, it could be, but I'm not sure what the tradeoff would be.
3. If this viewfinder had been included as part of the M6 camera, it would have been a game changer, similar to the Sony RX100 IV. br>br>Overall, I'm pleased with it; if you require a VF, this will fit your camera; if you are new to photography or an amateur like myself, you will be very pleased with its performance. br>Attached are a few pictures of the M6 mounted.

Imported products are not covered by the manufacturer's warranty in the United States
4/5

Although the product is priced similarly to that of a large mail order photo supply house, it is an import version that does not come with a warranty from the United States. Although the EVF works well, keep in mind that because it is not officially for use in the United States, Canon may refuse to provide warranty.
