Canon EOS R6 V Mirrorless Camera with Stop Motion Animation Firmware

The Canon EOS R6 V is the first mirrorless camera in the V-series to incorporate a 32.5MP full-frame sensor, specifically crafted for visual storytellers across various fields. It merges exceptional image quality with ergonomics that are optimized for video recording. The R6 V features a sleek design, in-body stabilization, and an advanced autofocus system, making it ideal for both independent creators and professional productions. With capabilities such as 7K RAW recording, an impressive dynamic range, an active cooling system, and a multitude of other video-centric features, the R6 V ensures reliable performance in dynamic settings. Additionally, its rotating user interface and several tripod mounts provide ease of use and reliable operation for both horizontal and vertical shooting arrangements.

32.5MP Full-Frame Sensor and DIGIC X Processing

Constructed around a 32.5MP full-frame CMOS sensor paired with a robust DIGIC X image processor, the R6 V produces remarkably sharp, low-noise images across a diverse array of high-quality video formats. The sensor's resolution of 6960 x 4640 enables 7K raw video recording, in addition to 7K oversampling for 4K video, ensuring exceptional detail and color accuracy. Versatile in various lighting conditions, the R6 V features a native ISO range from 100 to 64,000, which can be expanded to 50 to 102,400, and offers over 15 stops of dynamic range in Canon Log 2.

Stop Motion Animation Firmware

This iteration of the EOS R6 V comes equipped with pre-installed Stop Motion Animation firmware, enhancing the camera's functionality for sophisticated stop motion projects and its compatibility with specialized software such as Dragonframe.

• Upgrades the camera's live resolution to 1920 x 1280 (compared to 940 x 640 on standard models) when connected to animation software, allowing animators to confirm focus and movement within every frame
  
  
• USB manual focus peaking provides the benefits of programmable remote focus adjustment without the need of auxiliary focus motors
  
  
• Used with Canon RF lenses, a Focus Position Memory feature can be used for more accurate and repeatable focus adjustment via computer control
  
  
• Aperture value can be set and maintained with the Aperture Lock function in Dragonframe, giving finer control and preventing aperture-based flickering
  
  
• HDMI can be toggled on and off in the camera's menu, allowing the use of external monitors while working in Stop Motion Mode

7K RAW Video Recording

With a wide range of video resolutions and formats, the R6 V enhances flexibility during post-production. The internal recording formats of 7K30 open gate RAW and 7K60 RAW Light offer rich 12-bit color and exceptional detail, enabling sophisticated color grading and accurate cropping in post without compromising quality. The Custom Picture feature can be activated via the dedicated color button, providing immediate access to Canon Log 2, Canon Log 3, HLG, PQ, Canon 709, BT.709, and 14 additional user-assignable profiles. High frame rates reaching up to 4K120 and 2K180 produce impressive slow motion, broadening creative opportunities and improving footage of rapidly moving subjects.

• 6960 x 4640 (3:2) open gate RAW recording up to 29.97 fps
  
  
• 6960 x 3672 (17:9) DCI RAW Light recording up to 59.94 fps
  
  
• 4096 x 2160 (17:9) and 3840 x 2160 (16:9) oversampled video up to 59.94 fps
  
  
• 4096 x 2160 (17:9) and 3840 x 2160 (16:9) video up to 120 fps
  
  
• 2048 x 1080 (17:9) and 1920 x 1080 (16:9) video up to 180 fps with 1.13x crop
  
  
• 12-bit RAW, 10-bit XF-HEVC S/H.265, and 8/10-bit XF-AVC S/H.264 formats
  
  

Hybrid Functionality

Perfect for individual videographers, filmmakers, and photographers seeking hybrid functionality, the R6 V maintains numerous still-image capturing capabilities of its photo-centric equivalent, the R6 Mark III. Its electronic shutter facilitates continuous shooting at speeds of up to 40 frames per second and includes a Pre-Continuous Shooting mode that records an extra 20 frames before the shutter button is completely pressed.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF II

Carried over from the EOS R6 Mark III, the Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system is a fast, responsive, and accurate focusing mechanism suitable for both still images and video. Designed to identify people, animals, vehicles, and more, this advanced phase-detection system effectively locks onto subjects and follows their movement. Features such as Register People Priority enable the specific prioritization of subjects, ensuring unparalleled accuracy.

There are various autofocus modes available for still photography and video, including One-Shot, AI Focus, Servo, and Movie Servo AF. The phase-detection system incorporates intelligent subject recognition for people, animals, and vehicles. You can register up to 10 individuals in-camera using photographs, allowing for their prioritization in busy scenes. Movie Servo AF provides cinematic focus transitions along with customizable speed, sensitivity, and priority settings. Additional focus options include Eye Detect AF, Touch AF, and a range of manual settings with focus peaking.

Comprehensive Image Stabilization

The R6 V showcases Coordinated Image Stabilization, integrating its In-Body Image Stabilizer (IBIS) with optical IS found in compatible Canon RF and RF-S lenses. This results in a comprehensive stabilization system capable of correcting up to 7.5 stops of camera shake at the image center, ensuring smooth video and crisp still images. Beyond sensor-shift IS, the R6 V also features Movie Digital IS, a five-axis digital image stabilization function that shifts the captured image across the CMOS imaging sensor, maintaining steady footage even in extremely unstable shooting conditions.

Practical Design

Designed specifically for video recording, the R6 V features a stylish and adaptable body structure that prioritizes functionality. An integrated active cooling mechanism enhances sustained performance, while user-friendly physical controls and a vari-angle LCD with a rotating interface ensure that configuring the camera is a seamless experience.

• Active cooling system allows two or more hours of recording in 7K RAW Lite for long productions
  
  
• 3" 1.62m-dot vari-angle LCD provides the flexibility to film from any angle with a clear display
  
  
• Power zoom lever for precise zoom control built directly into the camera
  
  
• Dedicated color mode button for rapid switching between color profiles
  
  
• Integrated tally lamp provides a clear visual indicator when recording
  
  
• 1/4"-20 female threads on the bottom and side for horizontal and vertical tripod mounting
