Built to be the high-performance all-arounder for creatives who work in both photo and video, the Canon EOS R6 Mark III deftly combines an array of hybrid capabilities, upgraded imaging, and revised handling and design to suit shooters working in a wide variety of scenarios. A new 32.5MP sensor pairs with DIGIC X processing to offer 7K video recording, up to 40-fps photo shooting, improved Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with Register People Priority, more robust 8.5-stop image stabilization, and the R6 Mark III now also accepts both CFexpress Type B and SD memory cards for flexible file storage.
Intended for newcomers to photography, or those looking for a convenient alternative to post-production, a variety of SCN modes can affect how photos look directly in camera:
- The R6 Mark III is the most advanced camera to feature SCN modes that adjust shooting settings using scene-specific auto exposure. The available modes include Portrait, Smooth Skin Portrait, Group Photo, Landscape, Panoramic Shot, Sports, Kids, Panning, Close-up, Food Night Portrait, Handheld Night Scene, HDR Backlight Control, and even Silent Shutter.
- For video applications, Smooth Skin Movie, Close-Up Demos, Movie IS, and HDR settings can be used.
Beyond photography, the R6 Mark III is a highly capable video camera that suits creators working across mediums:
For more in-camera control over the look of footage, the R6 Mark III has a handful of color and style tools to affect the look of your imagery:
- Pressing the Magnify button while recording lets you enlarge the image to check focus without interrupting the clip.
- Pre-Recording starts recording a clip up to 5-second prior to pressing the record button to help ensure you don't miss an unpredictable moment.
- Auto Level works in conjunction with the In-Body Image Stabilizer to adjust the sensor so it's level to the scene's horizon.
- Focus breathing correction can be used with compatible lenses to mitigate the effects of optical focus breathing.
Updated using technology from the EOS R1 and EOS R5 Mark II cameras, the Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system is an especially fast, responsive, and precise focusing system for both stills and video needs.
Wired and wireless connectivity options are available, allowing for multiple methods of transferring photos and videos, as well as for remotely controlling the camera.
