The Canon EF-M was a manual-focus 35mm film, 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 that replaced the top-deck LCD with a control dial. It was priced slightly cheaper than the EOS 1000, and relatively few units were sold. It was not directly available in Japan, though some were re-imported. It was sold with a standard 35-80mm kit lens. The lens came with an adapter ring that was intended to make manual focusing easier.

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.Image:Canon-ef-m-three-quarter.jpg
