Canon EOS R6 Mark III Mirrorless Camera (Body)

The Super Hybrid
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 refined handling to suit shooters 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, and a robust 8.5-stop image stabilization system. The R6 Mark III also accepts both CFexpress Type B and SD memory cards, providing flexible file storage options for hybrid creators.

32.5MP Full-Frame Sensor and DIGIC X Processing
Offering a 34% increase in resolution over its predecessor, the R6 Mark III’s 32.5MP full-frame CMOS sensor delivers exceptional sharpness, fine detail, and cropping versatility. This high-resolution sensor is backed by Canon’s powerful DIGIC X processor, which ensures outstanding image quality, low noise, and a wide ISO range. The advanced processing engine supports high-speed 40 fps electronic shutter bursts, 7K video recording, and the refined Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system. Borrowed from Canon’s flagship R3, the DIGIC X processor manages both stills and video performance with precision, including pre-shooting functionality that captures up to 20 frames before the shutter is fully pressed.

SCN Shooting Modes
For newcomers or those seeking in-camera creative options, the R6 Mark III includes a variety of SCN modes tailored to specific scenes such as Portrait, Smooth Skin Portrait, Group Photo, Landscape, Panoramic Shot, Sports, Kids, Panning, Close-Up, Food, Night Portrait, Handheld Night Scene, and HDR Backlight Control. Video-specific options include Smooth Skin Movie, Close-Up Demo, Movie IS, and HDR recording.

7K Video Recording
Going beyond traditional hybrid performance, the R6 Mark III offers robust cinematic video capabilities. Using a similar sensor to the EOS C50 Cinema Camera, it can internally record 7K up to 60p in 12-bit Canon RAW Light, or externally output 7K 30p in ProRes RAW. Oversampled 4K FINE mode enhances detail and color fidelity, while Open Gate 3:2 7K recording provides maximum flexibility for vertical or square cropping. The camera supports up to 4K 120p and 2K/Full HD 180p recording for detailed slow-motion playback, with audio recording available for most frame rates. A dedicated Slow and Fast Motion (S&F) mode allows users to adjust playback speed and compression directly.

LUTs and Color Control
Canon provides a comprehensive suite of in-camera color tools, including Canon Log 2 and Log 3 for 15+ stops of dynamic range, and LUT support via .cube files that can be registered and applied directly during recording. The Custom Picture menu offers fast access to profiles such as Canon Log, HLG, PQ, BT.709, and user-adjustable color parameters. Fourteen color filters and the Apply Look function further expand creative flexibility.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF II
Featuring Canon’s next-generation Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system, the R6 Mark III achieves swift, accurate, and intelligent autofocus performance. Subject detection covers People, Animals, and Vehicles, and for the first time in an R6-series camera, users can register up to 10 individuals for focus priority in crowded scenes. New AF area options, subject detection cancellation, and customizable focus presets give users unprecedented control. The Movie Servo AF algorithm—borrowed from the Cinema EOS line—delivers smooth, cinematic focus transitions.

8.5-Stop Sensor-Shift Image Stabilization
The upgraded In-Body Image Stabilizer compensates for up to 8.5 stops of camera shake at the image center, providing outstanding handheld performance in low light. When paired with Canon IS lenses, Coordinated IS further enhances stability, while Movie Digital IS combines optical, sensor-shift, and digital correction for exceptionally steady video footage.

Body Design and Handling
Built from a durable magnesium alloy, the R6 Mark III combines professional resilience with ergonomic design. It features a 3.69m-dot OLED electronic viewfinder with 0.76x magnification and OVF View Assist for a natural viewing experience. The fully articulating 3.0" 1.62m-dot touchscreen enables flexible shooting angles and front-facing use for vlogging. Exposure monitoring tools like zebra, false color, and waveform display—borrowed from Canon’s Cinema EOS cameras—enhance video precision. Dual card slots (CFexpress Type B + UHS-II SD) support simultaneous or overflow recording.

The Multi-Function Shoe supports powered accessories such as the DM-E1D microphone and EL-5 flash, while the upgraded LP-E6P battery offers approximately 620 shots per charge. The camera is compatible with the optional BG-R20 battery grip for extended runtime and vertical orientation shooting.

Flexible Connectivity
Comprehensive connectivity includes USB-C 3.2 Gen 2 with charging and webcam functionality, 3.5mm headphone and mic ports, HDMI output, and built-in 5/2.4 GHz Wi-Fi with Bluetooth 5.0. The R6 Mark III supports FTP transfer, Canon Content Transfer Professional app integration, and customizable network presets.
