For the everyday shooter with high demands, the Canon
EOS R6 is a versatile tool to meet the photo and video requirements of
a contemporary imaging workflow. This full-frame mirrorless camera revolves
around a refined 20MP CMOS sensor and DIGIC X processor, which afford quick
shooting up to 12 fps, apt 4K60 video recording, and wide-ranging sensitivity
to ISO 102400. It also sports 5-axis in-body image stabilization to help steady
shots when working in low-light conditions.
As a
do-everything, highly versatile camera, the R6 also employs the sensor and
processor for robust focusing performance. Dual Pixel CMOS AF offers quick, smooth,
and intelligent focusing using 1053 selectable points that cover the entire
field of view. This focusing system has also been updated to make use of Deep
Learning technology for improved subject tracking as well as precise eye, face,
and head-detection for both people and animals.
Complementing
the imaging capabilities, the R6 sports a bright and detailed 0.5"
3.69m-dot electronic viewfinder, with a high 120 fps refresh rate, and a rear
3.0" 1.62m-dot touchscreen LCD with a vari-angle design to accommodate
vlogging needs as well as benefit working from high and low angles.
Additionally, dual SD UHS-II memory card slots offer flexible storage and there
is of course Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for wireless sharing and remote camera
control.
20MP Full-Frame Sensor and DIGIC X
Processor
Built around a revised 20MP full-frame CMOS sensor, the
EOS R6 offers modest resolution to complement a more manageable workflow,
especially for those working with the web and small print forms as their final
output. This sensor is paired with a fine-tuned DIGIC X image processor, which
enables impressive stills and video capabilities, along with sensitivity from
ISO 100-102400, which can be expanded to ISO 204800, along with quick
continuous shooting up to 12 fps with a mechanical shutter, or silent 20 fps
with an electronic shutter, is ideal for working with moving subjects.
4K60 and Full HD 120 Video
Recording
Beyond stills, the 20MP sensor also affords UHD 4K
video recording at up to 60 fps, along with Full HD at 120 fps for slow-motion
playback. Both formats can be recorded internally at 4:2:2 10-bit and both
Canon Log and HDR-PQ are supported for greater control over color rendering,
and to suit high dynamic range output. Additionally, Dual Pixel CMOS AF is
supported for all recording settings and external recording, via the HDMI port,
enables clean 4K output to an optional external recorded.
Dual Pixel CMOS AF II
An updated Dual Pixel CMOS AF II features 1053
selectable focusing points, which cover approximately 100% of the image frame
for wide and even coverage. This focusing system offers smooth and fast
focusing performance in a similar manner to how a camcorder acquires focus.
This system integrates two separate photodiodes within each pixel to provide a
broad and dense network of phase-detection gathering elements across a majority
of the image sensor to reduce focus hunting for faster, more direct control of
focus placement. When working with still imagery, this focusing system works to
acquire focus quickly and accurately, making it ideally suited to shooting and
tracking moving subjects so that critical focus is attained with each shot.
When shooting video, a Movie Servo AF mode offers smooth and natural focusing
when changing from different subjects or different distances within the scene,
as well as the ability to specify tracking sensitivity, AF speed, and Face
Tracking priority. Benefited by the Touch AF system, rack focus is possible
simply by touching elements within the scene on the touchscreen in order to
change focus in an intuitive manner. Subject tracking in movies is also
heightened due to the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system's ability to recognize subjects
and maintain focus when working within changing or cluttered scenery.
Subject tracking has also been benefitted through the use of Deep Learning technology,
which helps to gradually refine the focusing system's ability to quickly and
accurately recognize both people and animal subjects. This technology also
supports the more refined eye, face, and head detection functions, for both
people and animals, that are well-suited for portraiture applications.
Sensor-Shift Image Stabilizer
A first for EOS cameras, the R6 incorporates five-axis
sensor-shift image stabilization that compensates for up to an impressive eight
stops of camera shake for truly effective compensation of camera shake to suit
handheld shooting with slower shutter speeds. This stabilization system also
works in concert with lens-based optical image stabilization for both native RF
lenses and adapted EF lenses.
