EOS R6 Mark III Specifications and Features

Imaging and Speed

The Canon EOS R6 Mark III includes a new 32.5-megapixel sensor. This resolution is an increase from the 24-megapixel sensor of the previous generation model. The camera is designed as a jack-of-all-trades full-frame mirrorless model suitable for both stills and video work.

The camera maintains shooting speeds of 12 fps with the mechanical shutter and 40 fps with the electronic shutter.

Video Capabilities

The R6 Mark III supports video recording up to 7K at 60p in RAW format and 4K at 120p.

The camera features full corner-to-corner open gate filming capability, which allows for extra cropping flexibility during post-production. It includes enhanced gamma settings, such as Canon's Log 2 mode and custom looks.

Functional improvements for video include the addition of a tally lamp to signal when recording. The connection type has been changed from a Micro HDMI port to a full-size Type A HDMI.

Autofocus and Storage

The R6 Mark III includes improved autofocus capabilities. It features the ability to register a person's face to prioritize them during continuous tracking.

The camera uses a new dual-card setup with an asymmetrical design. This setup includes one CFexpress Type B slot and one SD slot, replacing the dual SD card slots found on the R6 Mark II. The CFexpress Type B slot supports the capture of longer bursts of images at high speeds.
