What’s Changed? The Canon EOS R6 Mark III offers several substantial improvements over its predecessor, the EOS R6 Mark II. It has a 32.5MP full-frame sensor, which provides a 34% increase in resolution. The Mark III features an upgraded DIGIC X processor to enable 7K recording, and up to 40 fps shooting. The addition of the Dual Pixel CMOS AF II autofocus system provides improved tracking in general and several new subject-tracking modes. A RAW Burst still-shooting mode groups all the photos from each burst under a single thumbnail image for easy reference, and there’s an optional pre-shooting feature that will start buffering frames when you press the shutter button halfway down. Finally, improvements have been applied to high-speed/slow-motion recording capabilities, enabling DCI 4K and UHD 4K recording at up to 119.8p for 5x slow motion playback.

32.5MP Full-Frame Sensor and DIGIC X Processor. The EOS R6 III’s 32.5MP full-frame CMOS sensor works in tandem with the improved DIGIC X processor to produce high-resolution stills and video with plenty of speed. Its back-illuminated design lets in plenty of light, giving you reduced noise, high clarity, and smooth color rendering when you’re shooting in low light. The native ISO range of 100-25,600 can be expanded to 100-102,400, making this camera suitable for working in a wide range of lighting conditions.

Fast, High-Quality Still Shooting. This camera supports up to 40 fps continuous shooting with a silent electronic shutter and 12 fps with a mechanical shutter with autofocus and autoexposure readings between each frame.

Open Gate 7K and 4K Video Capture. The R6 III’s sensor captures Open Gate RAW 7K footage at up to 59.94 fps and standard UHD/DCI 4K video at up to 119.9 fps using the sensor’s full width, and lets you work with 10-bit sampling using Canon Log 3. You can get oversampled MP4 4K at 30 fps from a 7K recording area for greater sharpness, less noise, and reduced moiré.

Dual-Pixel CMOS Autofocus II. This camera incorporates a Dual-Pixel CMOS Autofocus II system similar to the one seen in the EOS R3. Its 1,053 automatic autofocus points cover 100% of the image frame to give you smooth, fast, accurate focusing similar to what you’d find on a camcorder, while the newly-added Register People Priority uses in-camera functions to register up to 10 subjects and automatically prioritize them in a bustling scene. There are subject-tracking modes designed to follow humans, animals, and vehicles, while Auto mode uses a combination of all the subject-tracking modes to automatically apply the best algorithm to the subject you’re shooting. Movie Servo AF mode lets you dictate tracking sensitivity, autofocus speed, and face-tracking priority, and video shooters can even use the rear touchscreen LCD to rack focus. If you’re shooting a subject that disappears from the frame, the new video-only Detect-Only mode instructs the camera to leave focus where the subject left off instead of trying to lock onto a new subject.

Body Design. The large OLED live viewfinder has a 3.96m-dot resolution, 0.76x magnification, and 120 fps refresh rate that make it great for easy eye-level composition. The 3.0-inch, 1.62m-dot rear touchscreen LCD monitor allows you to pull focus in video mode and make quick adjustments in the camera’s menu system, while its vari-angle design makes it great for vlogging and other front-facing recording applications, and for shooting at high and low angles. A tank-like build and weather sealing keep out the elements and dust.

Next-Gen Multi-Function Shoe. This camera’s next-gen Multi-Function Shoe is an update to the conventional hot shoe that adds a row of pins at the front to give you expanded accessory functionality and to power certain accessories that typically need separate batteries. You can use the Canon AD-E1 Multi-Function Shoe Adapter to use select legacy shoe-mounted accessories, such as the Canon ST-E3-RT Speedlite Transmitter – V2 and Canon Speedlite EL-1, with the shoe.

Built-In Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. Integrated Bluetooth and Wi-Fi let you use Canon’s Camera Connect app to instantly transfer images to your mobile device so that you can easily share them on social media, in email, and to the cloud. You can also use it to shoot remotely.

User Flexibility. The R6 III records to both CFexpress Type B and UHS-II SD memory cards (not included) for broad compatibility in a familiar format. Please note that 7K recording is only available with CFexpress Type B cards. The camera is powered by the popular Canon LP-E6P Battery.
