High Image Quality

Featuring a 32.5MP Canon Developed and Designed Full-Frame CMOS Image Sensor

The EOS R6 Mark III camera is a full-frame digital mirrorless camera featuring a 32.5MP Canon-developed and designed CMOS Image Sensor. With a 34% increase in resolution compared to the EOS R6 Mark II, and a 61% increase in resolution when compared to the original EOS R6 image sensor, more resolution, cropping capability and print resolution await.

DIGIC X Image Processor

Powered by the DIGIC X Image Processor, enjoy high-performance operation with Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, Coordinated Stabilization with Optical and In-Body Image Stabilization, high-quality image processing, and high-resolution video functionality.

Up to 40-fps Photo Shooting and with 20-Frames of Pre-Continuous Shooting
Equipped with Mechanical, First Curtain Electronic, Fully Electronic Shutter Modes

 
  • Up to 40 Frames Per Second Photo Shooting

    Capturing “the moment” of maximum action is critical and can be extremely difficult even for top professional photographers trying to capture imagery of unpredictable subjects – so the EOS R6 Mark III camera features up-to 40-frames per second continuous drive shooting when set to the H+ drive mode in Electronic Shutter.
     

  • 20 Frames of Pre-Continuous Shooting

    With Pre-continuous shooting enabled, an additional 20-frames are captured before you fully press the shutter button, allowing for even more versatility, and enabling new shooting workflows to ensure elusive and unpredictable subjects can be precisely captured up to half of a second before your reaction.

In-Body Image Stabilizer
With up to 8.5 stops of shake correction effect (center) and 7.5 stops at periphery

When capturing photos at lower shutter speeds, the In-Body Image Stabilizer system provides up to 8.5 stops of shake correction at the center and up to 7.5 stops at the periphery. This is crucial for non-image stabilized lenses, but also effective for optically image stabilized lenses with Coordinated Image Stabilization (In-Body + Lens optical stabilization).

Dual Pixel CMOS AF II
With People, Animal, Vehicle Detection, and Register People Priority

High-performance Subject Detection featuring People, Animals, and Vehicles detection, the EOS R6 Mark III camera provides impressive subject detection, and tracking capability for incredible precision and convenience.

Register People Priority

New to the 6-series is Register People Priority. Simply photograph a person and register them in-camera to prioritize them over other people in the scene. Up to 10 registered people can be set, and up to 10 registered people can be saved to each card.

Autofocus — More Pro than Ever

The EOS R6 Mark III camera offers many of the same AF features as Canon’s powerful EOS R5 Mark II and EOS R1 cameras.

It features four additional AF area options, displayed with a small lock icon, which deliberately cancel Focus Tracking and Subject Detection AF, as well as Whole Area Servo AF tracking is disabled. It also adopts the Servo AF Auto characteristic menu for easy tracking and customization of autofocus characteristics. Register/recall AF settings, a popular feature for professionals, is also adopted.

New custom button functions for Register focus preset and Playback focus allow similar push-button operation as Canon’s super telephoto lenses but at the camera body, enabling easy recall of focus distances for wildlife and sports. All these features provide a similar user interface as Canon’s latest professional camera models.

Movie Servo AF Focus Algorithms from C400 / C80

With new Movie Servo AF focus algorithms borrowed from EOS C400 and C80, autofocus pulls more naturally to how a manual focus pull would look.

Shoot Bigger and Burst Longer

The EOS R6 Mark III, enhancing shooting performance over the EOS R6 Mark II, now supports one CFexpress Type B card and one SD card with UHS-II V90 card support. This hardware improvement provides more power for photographers capturing peak action for extended periods, such as sports celebrations, wildlife scenes, or bird flight sequences, and enables the highest video resolution recording in Canon EOS 6-series history.

Can’t Stop, so Don’t Swap

Don’t let a full-card warning prevent you from capturing the moment. Up to 8-Terabyte CFexpress Type B card support is available.

Video

  • Internally Recorded 7K Video at Up to 59.94p in 12-bit Canon RAW Light Movie
  • Externally Recorded 7K 29.97p ProRes RAW (With Use of a Compatible External Recorder)

Resolution and Colour Depth

If you’re seeking the combination of high-resolution and exceptional colour depth, EOS R6 Mark III features internally recorded 7K video at up to 59.94p in 12-bit Canon RAW Light Movie.

ProRes Raw Files

For those seeking to work with ProRes RAW files, externally recorded 7K 29.97p ProRes RAW recording is available with use of a compatible external recorder.

Open Gate Recording at Up to 7K 29.97p in 10-bit MP4 or 12-bit RAW

3:2 aspect ratio “Open Gate” recording is available at 7K (6912 x 4608 — MP4; and 6960 x 4640 — RAW) and up to 29.97p in 10-bit, XF-HEVC S 4:2:2 and 4:2:0 MP4, or Canon RAW Movie Intra, Light Intra and Long GOP recording.

Why, and What is Open Gate Recording?

Today’s hybrid image makers face immense demands, often requiring social media videos to accompany photos and videos delivered to clients. With Open Gate recording enabled, the camera scans the full-frame, 3:2 aspect ratio image sensor area to record video imagery in the same 3:2 aspect ratio as still images. This allows post-production versatility to reformat the 3:2 ratio imagery to various formats, such as vertical 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 4:3, or 4:5.

High-Speed Recording at up to 4K 119.8p, or 2K/Full-HD 179.8p

The EOS R6 Mark III camera offers significant video improvements compared to the Mark II, particularly in slow-motion capabilities. It now supports both DCI 4K and UHD 4K, with up to 119.8p frame rate for 5x slow motion in a 23.98p timeline project. Additionally, DCI 2K or Full-HD resolution video is available at 179.8p for up to 7.5x slow motion in a 23.98p timeline. Audio recording is supported for all resolution and frame rate options, except in (S & F) mode.

Versatility for Slow-Mo Video or Fast Motion Time-Lapse

The new Slow and Fast (S & F) Mode on the mode dial offers new UI control over resolution, frame rate, playback speed, and compression. It also provides incremental frame rates for precise recording frame rate tailoring to playback speed. Though audio is disabled, videographers can now embed their frame rate in-camera for easier social media content creation.
