Have a look at the videos (by YouTube user Daero Lee) below to see what the upcoming firmware update (ver. 2.0.2) for the [shoplink 6091]Canon EOS M[/shoplink] is going to deliver :) The [shoplink 6095]EF-M 18-55mm IS STM[/shoplink] is tested with the old and new firmware, as is the [shoplink 6095]EF-M 22mm f/2 STM[/shoplink].
