Speed and Autofocus
The R6 Mark II hits an electronic burst speed of 40 fps, letting you capture fleeting moments in sports and wildlife. Mechanical shooting tops out at 12 fps for traditional shutter feedback.
A pre-release capture feature buffers action for 0.5 s in RAW burst mode before the full shutter press, helping you catch unpredictable events.
Video Capabilities
Videographers get 4K recording at 60 fps across the full sensor width, maintaining your exact lens field of view. Standard profiles record 8-bit 4:2:0 footage, while 10-bit 4:2:2 requires enabling Canon Log 3 or HDR PQ.
External 6K ProRes RAW recording is available using an Atomos Ninja V+ recorder connected over HDMI. Movies record H.264 by default and switch to HEVC when Canon Log 3 or HDR PQ is active.
Handling and Build
Weighing 670 g, the body features two memory card slots and a dust- and drip-resistant build that is not IP-rated. The 3-inch fully articulated screen pairs with a 3.69 M-dot EVF.
Battery life reaches 760 shots using the CIPA power-saving rating with the rear LCD, dropping to 580 shots in smooth mode.
