The loaded firmware increases your Live View resolution to 1920x1280 from Canon’s normal of 960x640 when connecting to compatible stop motion animation software, like Dragonframe. This makes it easy for animators to confirm focus and movement within every frame.
It 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 & detailed images, even in low-light scenarios.
A powerful DIGIC X Image Processor enables high-performance operation & coordination of processes such as Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, Image Stabilization, image processing, and video functionality.
For the first time among full-frame Canon EOS cameras, the EOS R6 Mark II introduces RAW Burst Mode1 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 & more.
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.
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 environment.2,3
Even in situations where many cameras may struggle to detect a subject, the R6 Mark II can locate and focus upon a person’s head, face, or eye when the Subject Detection menu is set to People.
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.2
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 fps4, 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.5
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.8
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 supports both wired and wireless connections to your smartphone via its USB Type-C9 port, built-in Wi-Fi, and Bluetooth technology, making it easy to upload and share movies and photos to your favorite social networks.
New to the EOS R6 Mark II is the ability to connect the camera to a computer or smartphone via USB-C.9 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.9
1 Rolling shutter distortion may occur depending on the subject and shooting conditions.
2 Effectiveness varies depending on the subject. In some cases, the camera may detect a subject other than a dog, a cat, a bird, and a horse (a zebra) as a targeted animal.
3 Some vehicles may not be detected depending on condition in some cases. In addition, the camera may detect entity as vehicle other than cars, motorcycles, trains, and airplanes for tracking.
4 High Frame Rate movie recording not available with RF-S or EF-S lenses or with movie cropping enabled.
5 High Frame Rate movies up to 1 hr. at 179.82/150.00 fps, and up to 1:30 at 119.88/100.00 fps. Video may stop due to battery level, card capacity, or temperature.
6 RAW movies cannot be recorded or developed internally
