Used Canon EOS R6 Mark II Mirrorless Camera Body

The Canon EOS R6 Mark II is a full-frame mirrorless camera body that has a blend of class-leading performance, amazing speed, stability and professional filmmaking features. The Canon R6 II includes a new 24.2 megapixel CMOS sensor and DIGIC X processor to give balance of high resolution, low-light performance and speed - plus pro quality movie shooting with oversampled 4K 60p video or 6K RAW. The deep learning AI delivers powerful autofocus. It recognises and tracks more subjects with even greater speed, reliability and precision. The EOS R6 II also features an in body optical image stabiliser and when used with the lens IS gives you up to 8 stops of stabilisation.

New full-frame 24.2-megapixel sensor
The EOS R6 Mark II features a full-frame 24.2 megapixel CMOS sensor, designed by Canon. Working in tandem with a powerful DIGIC X processor, it powers many of the camera’s groundbreaking features and provides a balance of resolution, low-light performance and speed.
The sensor is fast, powering 40fps continuous shooting. Compared to the EOS R6, this new sensor reduces rolling shutter distortion, allowing the camera’s electronic shutter to be used to freeze fast-moving objects. This speed also enables oversampled 4K 60p video using the full width of the sensor, and helps power the EOS R6 Mark II’s extraordinarily quick focusing.

Advanced Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, with eye detection
The EOS R6 Mark II uses Canon’s state-of-the-art Dual Pixel CMOS AF II technology to focus and track subjects, keeping them sharp as they move through a scene. Using deep-learning artificial intelligence, we’ve programmed the camera to recognise people, vehicles (cars, motorbikes, trains and aircraft) and animals (dogs, cats, birds and horses). The type of subject to be detected can be chosen in the EOS R6 Mark II’s menu, or set to Auto if you shoot in a range of scenarios.

When detecting people or animals, the EOS R6 Mark II first looks for a subject’s eyes, and it’s now possible to specify which eye (left or right) should be given priority. If the eyes can’t be seen, the camera focuses on the face instead, and if the subject turns away for a moment, the head is tracked. If the head isn’t visible, the EOS R6 Mark II will track their body.

4K 60p full-width oversampled & 6K RAW
The Canon EOS R6 MK II can shoot 4K 60p UHD using the full width of the EOS R6 Mark II’s sensor, with simultaneous Dual Pixel CMOS AF II focusing. Footage is created by oversampling the sensor’s 6K output, resulting in superb image quality. Improved circuit designs are highly heat efficient, allowing longer recording times of up to 610 hours, depending on ambient temperature, memory card space and battery life.
For filmmakers wanting even higher performance, the EOS R6 Mark II outputs 6K RAW via its HDMI output, which can be recorded on an Atomos Ninja V+ recorder in ProRes RAW. This provides more detail, as well as the ability to adjust parameters such as white balance in post-production. Full HD proxy footage can be captured internally to a memory card.

RAW burst mode
The EOS R6 Mark II also features a pre-shooting option as part of RAW burst mode, that captures the action 0.5 sec before the shutter-release button is pressed – a great advantage when shooting unpredictable subjects, from tennis players to toddlers. RAW burst mode shoots continuously at 30fps for up to 191 frames (just over 6 sec using a high-speed card) and records all of the frames in a single RAW file, called a roll. This is recorded as a special CR3 file; all with AF tracking. Individual images can be extracted from this roll using Canon’s Digital Photo Professional software, or in camera, and saved as individual JPEG, HEIF or RAW files.

Detect only option for Movie Servo AF
A new Movie Servo AF option – ‘Detect only’ – has been added to the EOS R6 Mark II, and is similar to the ‘Face only’ feature found in our Cinema EOS C70 camera. When this is activated, if the subject specific in the Subject to detect menu moves out of the focus area, the camera will remain at its current point of focus without refocusing on other subjects. For example, if ‘People’ is specified in the menu, focus will not change if a subject walks out of shot. Traditionally, a camera would then refocus on the background, which is often not what’s wanted, especially if the subject may be about to move back into the frame again.

In-camera focus bracketing
When you need more depth of field than is available, the EOS R6 Mark II can deploy focus bracketing and depth compositing to help achieve perfect focus throughout the frame. After specifying the focus range and number of shots, a single press of the shutter-release button tells the camera to begin shooting, varying focus from near to far as it does so. When this sequence of images is blended together, the result is perfect depth of field for the scene.
This image sequence can now be merged in-camera, creating a perfect ready-to-go result. The feature can also be used as an on-location preview of what can be achieved later in post-production, giving you the confidence that you have what you need. Depth compositing is great for shooting close-up or macro work when depth of field is limited. It also allows photographers to reduce time spent post-processing images from multiple frames and lets them achieve a result quickly, in-camera.

4K 60p full-width oversampled & 6K RAW
The EOS R6 Mark II can shoot 4K 60p UHD using the full width of the EOS R6 Mark II’s sensor, with simultaneous Dual Pixel CMOS AF II focusing. Footage is created by oversampling the sensor’s 6K output, resulting in superb image quality. Improved circuit designs are highly heat efficient, allowing longer recording times of up to 610 hours, depending on ambient temperature, memory card space and battery life.
For filmmakers wanting even higher performance, the EOS R6 Mark II outputs 6K RAW via its HDMI output, which can be recorded on an Atomos Ninja V+ recorder in ProRes RAW. This provides more detail, as well as the ability to adjust parameters such as white balance in post-production. Full HD proxy footage can be captured internally to a memory card.

Movie pre-recording
When this function is activated, video is continuously streamed through the camera in standby. Such pre-captured footage can be captured from the 3 or 5 secs before the video record button is pressed – very handy when shooting unpredictable subjects or an unmissable one-off moment.

Multifunction shoe
The multifunction shoe, first seen on the EOS R3, is also included on the EOS R6 Mark II, allowing a range of new accessories to be used with the camera. These include the DM-E1D digital microphone and Tascam XLR adapter, for recording high-quality sound, and a smartphone adapter – as well as new Speedlite flashes.

UVC support for webcam and live streaming
The EOS R6 Mark II can be used as a webcam on PC and Mac computers running video-call apps such as Skype, Zoom and Teams, without having to install additional software. This plug-and-play capability is powered by industry-standard USB Video Class (UVC) and USB Audio Class (UAC) drivers that are built into Windows and MacOS operating systems. Used in this way, the EOS R6 Mark II provides improved image quality compared with standard computer webcams, letting you look your best when you need to make a great impression online.

Advanced overheat management
The EOS R6 Mark II is able to capture video for longer by managing the camera’s response to rises in temperature. Advanced warning of overheating informs videographers well before shooting needs to be paused. Low-resolution standby mode helps reduce the likelihood of overheating when the camera is on standby between takes. Display frame rate and image quality are temporarily reduced, conserving power and extending recording time.
