Hmm, the sensor doesn't move in the EOS m3.

So what does flip up then ?

I would have thought the mirror - same as any other SLR...



Is it an SLR though?

Erm, good question :-)

More an interchangeable lens compact by the looks of it:

Never take what whiskey says as being correct.

If its like mine it will still have a focal plane shutter.
Its normally open and closes as you press the release and then exposes
the sensor, then closes again and opens once the sensor data has been
read. All in a few milliseconds.
You get the same distortions you get with SLRs on moving subjects.
There is a silent mode which leaves the shutter open and uses an
electronic shutter too.
