Canon Eos R6 II + RF 50mm f1.2

Canon R6 II + 50mm L

EOS R6 II features

Combining solid photographic performance with adequate video capabilities, the Canon EOS R6 Mark II is a versatile mirrorless body for the media creator. An updated 24.2MP CMOS sensor is combined with updated processing for improved AF, stunning 10-bit 4K 60p video, and faster overall performance. In addition, the camera body has been updated for more intuitive operation, including a redesigned top plate for easier access to different shooting modes.

24.2MP full-frame sensor and DIGIC X processing

Updated full-frame sensor

Hitting a sweet spot in terms of resolution, the R6 Mark II incorporates a new 24.2MP CMOS sensor that is versatile for photography and video applications, performs well in low-light conditions, and produces bold, accurate colors.

DIGIC X processor

Taken from the R3, the improved processing of the R6 Mark II adapts to the multimedia nature of the camera. Capable of processing high-speed bursts as well as high-resolution 4K video, the DIGIC X supports continuous shooting of up to 40fps with a silent electronic shutter or 12fps with a mechanical shutter, with AF and AE readings before each frame. There's also a 30fps RAW burst mode, which offers pre-launch capture to record moments that happened up to 0.5 seconds before you press the shutter.

In addition, improved processing leads to improved low-light performance, with a sensitivity range that now extends from ISO 100-102400 and expandable to ISO 204800 to work in very difficult lighting conditions.

4K UHD video recording

Beyond still images, the R6 Mark II's sensor also offers high-resolution UHD 4K 60p internal video using the full width of the sensor and the ability to work with 10-bit sampling with Canon Log 3. A 6K recording area can also be used for oversampling. 4K 30p recording to improve sharpness, reduce moiré and reduce noise. And, for slow-motion playback, 180p recording supports up to Full HD resolution.

HDR-PQ recording is also possible for in-camera HDR production and external recording, via the micro-HDMI port, which supports clean 6K output at up to 60fps. In addition, unlimited recording times are also possible, and the R6 Mark II features microphone and headphone ports, as well as a multifunction shoe for extensive accessory compatibility.

External 6K raw recording

Using the micro-HDMI port, raw video recording is possible when combined with a compatible external recorder. ProRes RAW up to 6K 60p is possible using the full width of the sensor, as well as 3.7K raw recording with a crop.

Autofocus and image stabilization

Dual Pixel CMOS AF II

• The advanced Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system features 1053 auto AF points covering the entire sensor area and delivering remarkably fast, responsive and accurate focusing performance.
• This phase detection approach system has also improved subject detection and tracking, benefiting from deep learning technology, with the ability to intelligently recognize people, animals and vehicles. Subject tracking will automatically lock on these subjects and maintain sharp focus while shooting, even during burst shots and when recording video.
• The low luminance limit of Dual Pixel AF II focuses up to an impressive -6.5 EV for precise focusing even in night conditions.

Sensor Change Image Stabilizer

An in-body image stabilizer (IBIS) corrects up to 7 stops of unwanted camera movement when shooting handheld, helping to shoot handheld in low-light conditions and reducing motion when shooting videos. This 5-axis system can also be used in conjunction with lenses with optical image stabilization to compensate for up to 8 stops of camera shake, depending on the specific lens used. In addition, Movie Digital IS uses optical stabilization and sensor switching methods in conjunction with digital IS to help acquire more stable images while moving.

Body design

EVF and vari-angle LCD touchscreen

• The 0.5" 3.69 m-dot high-resolution electronic viewfinder provides a bright, detailed medium for eye-level viewing and the fast 120fps refresh rate delivers natural motion reproduction for a more realistic viewfinder experience.
• The 3.0" 1.62m dot rear LCD touchscreen features a vari-angle design that benefits front-facing recording, such as for vlogging needs, as well as working from high and low shooting angles.
• The refined body design incorporates four distinct control dials throughout the body for intuitive touch control and a joystick controller is used on the back of the camera for quick and intuitive focus point selection and menu navigation.

Reliable and intuitive operation

• An updated top plate design repositions the on/off dial and photo/video mode dial for more intuitive operation.
• Built for everyday use, this camera offers a sealed body construction against dust and moisture that is suitable for working in harsh conditions.
• Dual SD memory card slots offer flexibility for saving files and both are rated for UHS-II card speeds to support smooth 4K video recording and high-speed continuous shooting.

Features of the Canon 50mm f1.2 RF lens

Distinguished by its speed, Canon 's RF 50mm f/1.2L USM is a desirable normal-length cousin due to its versatile focal length and bright f/1.2 maximum aperture. This fast design excels in difficult lighting conditions and also benefits work with shallow depth of field and selective focusing techniques. The optical design incorporates a UD element and an aspherical element, which help reduce chromatic and spherical aberrations in order to produce greater clarity and sharpness.

A rounded 10-blade diaphragm also benefits bokeh quality to suit insulating subjects with depth of field. Complementing the imaging capabilities is a suitable annular-type ultrasonic motor, which provides fast, near-silent autofocus and full-time manual focus override. In addition, a unique control ring is integrated into the lens design for intuitive control over lens exposure settings.

• The full-length primary lens is designed for frameless Canon full-frame RF mount digital cameras.
• The exceptionally bright f/1.2 maximum aperture allows extensive control of depth of field for selective focus applications and also benefits working in low-light situations.
• A UD (Ultra Low Dispersion) element is introduced that helps minimize chromatic aberrations and color stripes to provide greater clarity and color accuracy.
• An aspherical element is used to correct spherical aberrations and distortion to improve sharpness and accurate rendering.
• The Ultrasonic Ring Motor (USM), along with optimized focusing algorithms and a high-speed CPU, is employed to deliver fast, accurate and quiet autofocus performance, as well as full-time manual focus override.
• The configurable control ring can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation.
• As a member of the esteemed L-series, this lens has a weatherproof design that protects against dust and moisture to allow it to be used in inclement conditions.
• The rounded 10-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasant bokeh quality.
