Fast action can be captured and focus can be maintained with speed, accuracy and ease.

AF Area Coverage of Approx. 100% x 100%

The EOS R6 camera features an expansive focus area of approx. 100% horizontal and 100% vertical^2 when working with compatible RF and EF lenses. This means fast and impressive focusing even when composing your subject far from the center of the frame. When taking still photos. Actual coverage varies depending on the lens in use. Focus area will not be covered with the following RF lenses: RF600mm F11 IS STM, RF800mm F11 IS STM.

EV -6.5 Low-light Autofocus

Amazing for nighttime photography or in very low-light indoor settings, the EOS R6 camera’s brilliant AF can operate in light as dim as a light rating of EV -6.5 – a first in an EOS mirrorless camera – where other AF systems may fail or search. Phenomenal AF is achieved even when using lenses with high F numbers. This ultra-sensitive AF works together with the EOS R6’s EVF to clearly capture subjects even when light is limited. Combined with the EOS R6 camera’s remarkable low-light AF performance, still and video shooting is possible even in dark situations in a variety of places and occasions.
