EOS-M controls
 
is it possible to control everything on the M without having to use the touchscreen controls? I needed to use a sunshade yesterday (a quick homemade black rectangle tube I threw together) and then I couldn't reach the screen for touch controls. I can probably later on redo the shade with the sides cut on an angle up and the bottom cut out halfway. But, I am wondering if we can run the whole camera without the touchscreen controls.

And, what if I plug in an hdmi mini to an external monitor to see framing for low steady cam shooting or high crane shots. How can I control the camera then without having the touchscreen controls available. Or, will it even still make video recordings with an HDMI plugged in? I don;t have the hdmi cable and ext monitor yet. I am just trying to think ahead for a project I have starting up that I want to do just using the M. Is it possible to use a wireless remote control to control the camera? Record on/off? other things like focus, aperture, etc. I know, asking for a lot. I did see a short youtube where a guy had some sort of remote control using the M, but there was no talking on the video he posted there. Very short clip.

I've been able to run everything without the touch screen, except to magnify the video for focus. Been using a Z-finder, which works well in the sun and gives added handheld stability. Have not run HDMI with a monitor.

Thanx Charles. I just got my camera and I am still exploring what it can and cannot do.
