Stills or video, action or portrait – the EOS R6 Mark II’s blend of performance and image quality lets your creativity thrive
Be the first to receive the latest updates on the EOS R6 Mark II & the new RF lenses, offers from Canon, tips and tutorials, latest news, and invites to local events.
MASTERY OF STILLS & MOTION
Be creative without compromise. The EOS R6 Mark II’s breakneck speed, class-leading performance and professional filmmaking features let you master your craft – however you like to shoot.
Capturing perfect moments in time
Capture fleeting moments at up to 40fps with sensational image quality, even in near-darkness. AI-based, deep-learning AF locks on to fast-moving subjects wherever they are in the frame.
Filmmaking without compromise
Full-width oversampled 4K 60p footage looks simply superb. Intuitive features – such as intelligent AF and a powerful Image Stabilizer – make professional results easy to achieve.
“The EOS R6 Mark II is not a still camera or a video camera – it’s both”
Teddy Morellec – Photographer & Filmmaker
AF THAT ANTICIPATES YOUR NEXT MOVE
Our next generation of deep-learning AI autofocus delivers an even more powerful performance – 80% faster than the original EOS R6. The EOS R6 Mark II recognises and tracks more subjects with greater speed, reliability and precision than ever.

Adapts as your subject moves, responding to changing speed, direction and pose.
Turn night into day
Even when you’re struggling to see, the EOS R6 Mark II focuses quickly and precisely. The camera locks on confidently in as little light as -6.5 EV1 – that’s less than the light from a half-moon.
EXPLOSIVE SPEED ALWAYS READY
Capturing that decisive moment has never been easier. The EOS R6 Mark II shoots at up to 40fps with its electronic shutter and 12 fps mechanically. In the 30fps RAW Burst mode, Pre-release capture lets you freeze moments that happened up to 0.5 sec before you pressed the button.
WHAT’S YOUR DECISIVE MOMENT?
Shooting at 40fps gives photographers unprecedented freedom to select the perfect moment.
THE FREEDOM TO SHOOT HANDHELD
The EOS R6 Mark II’s In-body Image Stabilizer works hand-in-hand with the optical IS in many Canon lenses. The result is up to 8 stops2 of protection against camera shake when shooting handheld.
Capture the beauty of movement – hand-held
Shoot long-exposure photos handheld, intentionally blurring moving subjects while keeping everything else pin-sharp – all without reaching for a tripod.
PROFESSIONAL TOOLS, PROFESSIONAL FOOTAGE
Transform how you think about video, with innovative features that put Hollywood effects and cinematic quality at your fingertips.
Shoot for longer10
Beyond 30-minute clip limit9
Perfect for interviews, conferences and performances
Stay cool
Thanks to improved heat efficiency
Remain focused
With the EOS R6 Mark II’s Detect only AF option switched on, the camera won’t refocus on the background if the subject moves out of shot. It’s a feature inspired by our Cinema EOS C70 camera, imitating the work of a professional focus puller to achieve cinematic results.
Pioneering filmmaking features – False colour warnings
Another technology shared with Canon’s Cinema EOS family, the EOS R6 Mark II’s false colour warnings give an easy-to-see indication of current exposure levels. Six colours, each representing a different luminance level, are overlaid on viewfinder and viewscreen images.
6K ProRes Raw
For the ultimate in flexibility and image quality, shoot 6K ProRes RAW video using an ATOMOS V+ external recorder. Footage is easier to grade and has more dynamic range. Extra resolution lets you crop while retaining 4K quality.
Professional audio options
Connect high-quality digital microphones and XLR adapters via the EOS R6 Mark II’s multi-function shoe, for the soundtrack your movies deserve.
EMBRACE THE DARKNESS
The EOS R6 Mark II’s 24.2 megapixel sensor delivers an ideal balance of speed, image quality and low-light performance. The ability to focus in conditions as dark as -6.5EV1 (less than the light of a half-moon) is complemented by a maximum ISO 102,400 sensitivity and an Image Stabilizer that’s effective up to 8 stops2.
“The EOS R6 Mark II is pushing the boundaries of what’s possible. It’s changing what I can do”
“It’s a clean image. In low light situations the camera is performing really well. I don’t have a lot of noise in the image, so it’s perfect”
TECHNOLOGIES TO INSPIRE AND CONNECT
Never break your flow with the EOS R6 Mark II. Its quick and easy-to-find controls let you react quickly to fast-changing situations. It’s a highly connected camera too, so you can share inspiring moments on-line straight from location.
