Introducing a standard full-frame camera evolved with hybrid features for still and movie shooting. The EOS R6 Mark II enables various photographic expressions that transcend boundaries between recording personal life and professional production purposes, as well as between photo shooting and movie shooting. Achieve creativity in everyday life with the EOS R6 Mark II.
The EOS R6 Mark II features improved resolution compared to its predecessor. A Canon-developed 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor with approx. 24.2 effective megapixels enables the camera to capture sharp and detailed images, even in low-light scenarios. Regardless of conditions — whether day or night, indoor or outdoor — dark portions of the image, even at high ISO speeds and increased sensitivity, are rendered with low noise.
A powerful DIGIC X Image Processor enables high-performance operation and coordination of processes such as Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, Image Stabilization, image processing, and video functionality. The DIGIC X Image Processor helps ensure your photos and videos look sharp and maintain high-resolution with minimal noise or grain.
For the first time among full-frame Canon EOS cameras, the EOS R6 Mark II introduces RAW Burst ModeFootnote1 at up to 30 fps. By turning on RAW Burst Mode’s pre-shooting, shooting can start slightly before (about 0.5 seconds earlier) the shutter button is fully pressed. Coupled with high-speed continuous shooting at speeds of up to 12 fps with mechanical shutter, and up to 40 fps using electronic (silent) shutter, the camera can capture the split-second details between a subject’s movements. This is great for dynamic action photos such as athletes, animals, and vehicles in motion or even capturing momentary changes in facial expressions for portraits.
The highly responsive Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system covers up to approximately 100% x 100% of the picture area, breaking the image into up to 1,053 automatically-selected AF zones during Whole Area AF. The result is outstanding AF coverage, and the compositional freedom to focus sharply on a subject nearly anywhere in the frame.
Developed using Deep Learning Technology, horses, trains, and airplanes are newly detectable, in addition to conventional subjects like people, animals including dogs, cats and birds, and vehicles — cars and motorcycles — especially in a motorsports environmentFootnote2, Footnote3 For more ease of use, Auto mode is now available, in which the camera automatically selects the type of subject without the need to switch the Subject Detection setting in the menu.
Even in situations where many cameras may struggle to detect a subject, the EOS R6 Mark II can locate and focus upon a person’s head, face, or eye when the Subject Detection menu is set to People, allowing more ease of use, fast acquisition of your subject, and improvements to accuracy when capturing videos or still images. Additional control is now available for detecting the subject’s left or right eye – which can be also programmed to a Custom Button making it easy to focus on the preferred eye in the moment.
The EOS R6 Mark II can effectively track the whole body, face, or eye of cats, dogs, birds, and now horses, for speed and precision — regardless of the animal’s size, posture, or orientation of the face.
With ample video recording features such as 6K oversampled uncropped 4K movie at up to 60 fps, Full-HD High-frame rate movie recording at up to 180 fpsFootnote4, and AF tracking, the EOS R6 Mark II can meet the needs of hobbyists and experienced video content creators alike.
The EOS R6 Mark II can continuously record Full-HD video for up to 6 hours, allowing you to set up your video and keep your project rolling without worrying about it stopping.Footnote5 You’ll also be able to continuously record Full-HD 179.82p up to 60 minutes or more, and 4K 59.94p up to 50 minutes or more.
Pairing an EOS R6 Mark II camera (firmware 1.2.0+) to just this one lens to provides the capability of delivering a single file — creating a powerful and convenient solution compared to traditional VR systems which capture a 3D scene with two separate fisheye lenses, recording that imagery to two separate cameras or image sensors, which write two files. This can save the user time and effort behind the camera, and in post-production by helping to solve issues such as multi-camera positioning, multi-lens syncing, image stitching, audio syncing, encoding and more.
Canon Log 3, HDR PQ, in-camera Full-HD proxy recording, and 6K 59.94p RAW data output to an external storage deviceFootnote6 provides the image quality to support various production purposes. Focus breathing correction (with compatible Canon RF lenses)Footnote7 automatically compensates for changes in the angle of view caused by focus operations during movie recording. Simultaneous recording of movies and stills to dual UHS-II SD card slots enables a backup to be created, so you can shoot with confidence.
Equipped with movie digital IS and 5-axis in-body IS, the EOS R6 Mark II enables smooth movie shooting with less camera-shake blur. With up to 8 stops of shake correction with Coordinated IS — combining In-body Image Stabilization, and optical Image Stabilization in certain Canon RF lenses — the camera makes handheld shooting easier at slower shutter speeds and in low-light situations.Footnote8 To counter large, low-frequency camera movements, such as recording while walking, there’s also electronic Movie Digital IS, which can be independently activated.
Featuring a 3.0-inch, 1.62 million dot Clear View LCD II Vari-angle Touchscreen LCD, the EOS R6 Mark II makes it easy to compose and shoot from virtually any angle.
A high-precision 0.5-inch OLED (Organic Light-Emitting Diode) EVF with approx. 3.69 million dots and a 23mm eyepoint displays a bright image and extensive shooting information. The EOS R6 Mark II’s EVF supports up to a 120 fps refresh rate and has been designed to provide a bright, sharp and colorful 100% view of the subject at hand. There’s also an Optical Viewfinder (OVF) Simulation setting, which provides a higher dynamic range viewfinder image for superior viewing in harsh, contrasty lighting situations.
The EOS R6 Mark II supports both wired and wireless connections to your smartphone via its USB Type-CFootnote9 port, built-in Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth technology, making it easy to upload and share movies and photos to your favorite social networks.
Bluetooth pairing helps you connect the camera to compatible smart devices using the free Canon Camera Connect app. This low-energy wireless connection helps preserve battery life, while providing remote control of the camera. It also sends continuously updated GPS location data from your phone, letting you geotag what you've captured so you know precisely where you captured the photo.
Enable wireless functions, such as file viewing and transfer, by connecting to Wi-Fi quickly and seamlessly, and exchange data with other Wi-Fi compatible Canon cameras. Using the Canon Camera Connect app, you can also transfer files to your mobile device to browse and share on social media.
New to the EOS R6 Mark II is the ability to connect the camera to a computer or smartphone via USB-C.Footnote9 All Canon Camera Connect app features that can be used with Wi-Fi are now available when the camera and smartphone are connected via USB, using a compatible cable for your device.
UVC/UAC compatibility allows the EOS R6 Mark II to be used as a web camera and stream live video in Full HD, without additional computer software, to applications such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, and similar on-line meeting software.Footnote9 Thanks to the full-frame CMOS sensor, you’ll be able to distribute clear live video images with low noise during remote conferences or livestreaming content.
