Key Features of the Canon EOS R6 Mark II

Featuring a new 24-megapixel full-frame sensor and capable of shooting uncropped 4K video at up to 60p, the Canon EOS R6 Mark II impresses with its video results. The compact form factor and flip-out screen make the Canon R6 II a great choice for vlogging and shooting on the go. With Canon's Dual Pixel autofocus system, the R6 II stays in focus even when filming action-packed video.

The R6 Mark II includes several performance upgrades over its predecessor, including improved resolution, extended recording times, and enhanced subject detection powered by deep learning technology. The camera now recognizes people, animals (including cats, dogs, birds, and horses), and various types of transportation such as cars, motorcycles, trains, and aircraft.

• 24.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor
• DIGIC X image processor with ISO 100-102400 (expandable to 204800)
• Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with 1,053 automatic AF zones
• Up to 40 fps continuous shooting (electronic shutter) or 12 fps (mechanical shutter)
• 30 fps RAW Burst Mode with 0.5-second pre-capture
• Uncropped 4K 60p video recording with full pixel readout
• 6K oversampled 4K 30p recording for improved sharpness
• Full-HD recording at up to 180 fps for slow-motion playback
• Up to 6 hours continuous Full-HD video recording
• 5-axis in-body image stabilization (up to 8 stops with compatible lenses)
• Canon Log 3, HDR PQ, and external 6K 60p RAW output support
• 3.0-inch fully articulating touchscreen LCD
• USB Type-C connectivity for charging and direct transfer
• Dual UHS-II SD card slots
• LP-E6NH battery (approx. 760 shots per charge)

Advanced Subject Detection and Autofocus

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 gives the Canon R6 II outstanding AF coverage, and the compositional freedom to focus sharply on a subject nearly anywhere in the frame.

Using deep learning technology, the R6 Mark II's autofocus system can identify and track multiple subject types with precision. When shooting people, the camera detects heads, faces, and eyes (with the ability to specify left or right eye tracking). For animal photography, it recognizes whole bodies, faces, and eyes of cats, dogs, birds, and horses. Vehicle detection works for cars, motorcycles, trains, and aircraft.

Even in situations where many cameras may struggle to detect a subject, the EOS R6 Mark II can locate and focus on a person's head, face, or eye when the Subject Detection setting 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.

In Auto Mode, the camera automatically selects the appropriate subject type without manual menu adjustments, allowing you to react quickly to changing shooting conditions.

Professional Video Capabilities

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 fps, and AF tracking, the EOS R6 Mark II can meet the needs of hobbyists and experienced video content creators alike.

The R6 Mark II records oversampled UHD 4K 60p video using the entire width of the sensor with no crop, unlike its predecessor which required a 1.07x crop at this frame rate. This full-sensor readout produces sharper footage with reduced moiré and improved noise performance.

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. You'll also be able to continuously record Full-HD 179.82p for up to 60 minutes.

Canon Log 3 support provides extended dynamic range for color grading workflows, while HDR PQ recording enables in-camera HDR production. The camera outputs clean 6K 60p video via micro-HDMI to compatible external recorders for ProRes RAW capture.

Focus breathing correction (with compatible Canon RF lenses) 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.

In-Body Image Stabilization and Build Quality

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. To counter large, low-frequency camera movements, such as recording while walking, there's also electronic Movie Digital IS, which can be independently activated.

The magnesium alloy body features weather sealing for protection against dust and moisture, making the R6 Mark II suitable for location work in challenging conditions. The ergonomic grip and three-dial control layout provide direct access to key settings during handheld operation.

Compatible Accessories and RF Mount System

The R6 Mark II uses Canon's RF mount system, providing full compatibility with the growing lineup of RF lenses designed specifically for mirrorless cameras. The RF mount's large diameter and short flange distance allow for advanced optical designs that deliver exceptional sharpness and reduced aberrations.

Expand your kit with camera accessories including external microphones, video monitors, battery grips, and remote triggers. The camera features a standard 3.5mm microphone input and headphone jack for professional audio monitoring, plus a multi-function shoe for mounting flashes, LED lights, or wireless transmitters.

Who Uses the R6 Mark II

The R6 Mark II serves wedding and event photographers who need fast burst rates, reliable autofocus, and professional video capabilities in a single body. Portrait and studio photographers benefit from the improved resolution and accurate eye tracking across the full frame. Wildlife and sports photographers rely on the 40 fps electronic shutter and advanced subject detection for capturing fast action.

For videographers and content creators, the combination of unlimited 4K recording times, extensive codec options, and professional monitoring outputs makes the R6 Mark II a practical choice for documentary work, commercial production, and solo filmmaking projects.
