Canon EOS R6 II Mirrorless Camera
Image Sensor
The Canon EOS R6 MK II features a new 24.2MP Full-Frame CMOS sensor. On the internals, it is powered by the same DIGIC X image processor found in the EOS R5 & EOS-1D X MK III.
The EOS R6 Mark II has built-in image stabilization (IBIS). You can combine optical and in-body image stabilization to get the best stabilization results up to 8-stops.
On the photo side, the EOS R6 Mark II can shoot stills at up to 40fps with the electronic shutter and up to 12fps in mechanical shutter mode. Moreover, in RAW burst mode, it has the option to record half a second pre-shoot.
Improved Autofocus
Canon cameras are well-known for their incredible autofocus capabilities. The Canon EOS R6 Mark II supports Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, similar to its predecessor. However, Canon improved it with people/vehicles/animals recognition and tracking.
When it comes to humans, you can specify which eye should be given focus priority. When the EOS R6 Mark II can’t detect the eyes, it’ll focus on the face in the shot instead. So even if the subject you’re shooting turns away for a moment, their head continues to be tracked, and if the head isn’t visible, the camera will go on to follow the body. Autofocus works in every video mode, even slow-motion Full HD.
Video Capabilities
The EOS R6 Mark II can capture footage internally in 4K at up to 60 frames per second with simultaneous autofocus. All 4K footage is downsampled from the sensor’s 6K output. In Full HD, you can capture slow-motion footage with AF support at up to 179.82 frames per second.
To get the best out of the EOS R6 Mark II, you can record externally via the HDMI output on an Atomos Ninja V+ in 6K RAW. Furthermore, it has the well-known built-in Canon Log 3 picture profile and supports HDR via PQ.
When it comes to recording times and overheating issues, Canon claims that you can record “over 40 minutes of oversampled 4K 60p or up to 6 hours at 4k 30p – with the previous 29.59 maximum recording time removed – depending on ambient temperature, memory card space, and battery life.”
Regarding new features, the Canon EOS R6 Mark II now has a 3 or 5 seconds pre-recording mode that you can turn on in the menu. Also, when used with supported lenses – which, at the moment, means Canon RF L zoom lenses and the RF 24mm F/1.8 Macro IS STM – you’ll benefit from focus-breathing correction.
