OverviewCanon ZOOM Digital Monocular DM-100

The Canon ZOOM Digital Monocular DM-100 is a compact optical observation device that doubles as an imaging tool, built around a 1/3-inch sensor paired with Canon's DIGIC 8 image processor. It covers an ISO range of 100 to 3200, giving it flexibility across a range of lighting conditions. The monocular features an OLED electronic viewfinder with a resolution of 2.36 million dots and a refresh rate of 59.94 fps, delivering a smooth and detailed view during observation or capture.

For stills, it supports burst shooting at up to 10 fps, and photo color profiles include Standard, Vivid, and Neutral. Video recording tops out at 30 fps. Autofocus options include Single-point AF and Face Tracking with subject tracking enabled, centered around a single focus point.

Optical image stabilization helps steady the view, which is especially useful at longer observation distances. The body measures 33.4 x 50.8 x 103.2 mm and weighs just 145 g, making it genuinely pocketable. Connectivity covers Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB.

Storage is handled via SD, SDHC, or SDXC cards. The built-in rechargeable lithium-ion battery is rated for approximately 60 minutes of use. Weather sealing is not present on this model.
