Canon EOS R6 Mark III Mirrorless Camera
Designed for creators who demand exceptional performance across both photography and video, the Canon EOS R6 Mark III brings together high-end hybrid capabilities, an upgraded imaging system, and a refined design. Its new 32.5MP full-frame sensor, paired with the DIGIC X processor, enables 7K video capture, continuous stills up to 40 fps, enhanced Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with Register People Priority, and powerful 8.5-stop image stabilization. Supporting both CFexpress Type B and SD cards, the R6 Mark III offers flexible storage and professional workflow options.
32.5MP Full-Frame Sensor and DIGIC X Processing
With a 34% resolution boost over the previous generation, the R6 Mark III’s 32.5MP CMOS sensor delivers improved sharpness, detail, and cropping flexibility. Combined with the advanced DIGIC X processor, it produces low-noise images with a wide sensitivity range and precise color reproduction. The processor also manages fast autofocus, in-body stabilization, and seamless video performance. Capable of 40 fps electronic or 12 fps mechanical bursts, this system even features a pre-shoot mode that captures up to 20 frames before the shutter is fully pressed, ensuring you never miss the action.
SCN Shooting Modes
For newcomers or photographers looking to achieve stylistic results straight out of camera, the R6 Mark III includes a range of SCN (Scene) modes that automatically optimize exposure and tone for specific environments. Options include Portrait, Smooth Skin Portrait, Group Photo, Landscape, Panoramic Shot, Sports, Kids, Close-up, Food, Handheld Night Scene, and HDR Backlight Control. For video, modes such as Smooth Skin Movie and HDR Movie are available.
7K Video Recording
Beyond stills, the R6 Mark III is a true video production tool. It can record internal 7K up to 60p in 12-bit Canon RAW Light, or externally in ProRes RAW up to 30p. Using 7K oversampling, 4K FINE mode produces exceptional sharpness in both DCI and UHD resolutions. Open Gate 3:2 7K recording gives creators more flexibility for reframing and vertical content. High-speed capture up to 119.8p in 4K or 179.8p in 2K allows stunning slow-motion playback, with audio supported in all modes except S&F. The dedicated Slow and Fast Motion mode provides creative control over playback speed and compression settings.
LUTs and Color Control
The R6 Mark III offers advanced in-camera color management, including Canon Log 2 and Log 3 for over 15 stops of dynamic range. Creators can import and apply 17-grid or 33-grid LUTs directly while recording via the Apply Look feature. A set of 14 Color Filters and a new Custom Picture menu provide flexible, cinematic color control for both photos and videos.
Additional Video Features
- Magnify focus during recording without stopping the clip.
- Pre-Recording captures up to 5 seconds before hitting record.
- Auto Level keeps horizons straight using in-body stabilization.
- Focus breathing correction minimizes visual shifts during focus pulls.
Dual Pixel CMOS AF II
Borrowing autofocus technology from Canon’s flagship R1 and R5 Mark II models, the Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system provides rapid, accurate, and intelligent subject tracking. It recognizes people, animals, and vehicles with remarkable precision. The new Register People Priority function allows photographers to pre-register up to ten faces, ensuring focus stays locked on the desired subject in crowded scenes. Additional AF area modes, focus recall options, and a refined Movie Servo AF algorithm create natural and cinematic focus transitions.
8.5-Stop In-Body Image Stabilization
The upgraded IBIS system compensates for up to 8.5 stops of camera shake, allowing sharper handheld results even in challenging light. It works seamlessly with lens-based IS through Coordinated Image Stabilization and also supports digital IS for steadier video capture while moving.
Body Design
The R6 Mark III features a durable magnesium alloy chassis and a weather-sealed design for dependable use in demanding environments. Dual memory card slots—one CFexpress Type B and one UHS-II SD—provide flexibility for high-speed image capture and video recording. The Multi-Function Shoe supports advanced accessories like the DM-E1D microphone, EL-5 Speedlite, and ST-E10 transmitter. The camera is compatible with the new LP-E6P battery for up to 620 shots and supports the optional BG-R20 Battery Grip for extended operation.
EVF and Vari-Angle Touchscreen LCD
A 3.69m-dot 0.5" OLED electronic viewfinder delivers bright, detailed eye-level viewing, while a 3.0" 1.62m-dot vari-angle touchscreen LCD supports vlogging and flexible-angle shooting. Exposure tools such as zebras, false color, and waveform monitors are included, inherited from Canon’s Cinema EOS lineup.
Flexible Connectivity
The R6 Mark III offers wired and wireless connectivity for effortless control and transfer. It includes USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 for charging and data, HDMI output for external recording, and both microphone and headphone jacks. Built-in Bluetooth and 5/2.4 GHz Wi-Fi support remote control and FTP transfers, while Canon’s Content Transfer and Camera Connect apps simplify workflow and metadata management.
