• 20 frames of Pre Continuous Shooting
  With Pre-Continuous Shooting enabled, an additional 20-frames are captured before you fully press the shutter button, allowing for even more versatility, and enabling new shooting workflows to ensure elusive and unpredictable subjects can be precisely captured up to half of a second before your reaction. 

In-Body Image Stabilizer with up to 8.5 stops⁽³⁾ of shake correction effect (center) and 7.5 stops at periphery.

• When capturing photos at lower shutter speeds, the In-Body Image Stabilizer system provides up to 8.5 stops of shake correction at the center and up to 7.5 stops at the periphery. This is crucial for non-image stabilized lenses, but also effective for optically image stabilized lenses with Coordinated Image Stabilization (In-Body + Lens optical stabilization).

It also adopts the Servo AF Auto characteristic menu for easy tracking and customization of autofocus characteristics. Register/recall AF settings, a popular feature for professionals, is also adopted.

  New custom button functions for Register focus preset and Playback focus allow similar push-button operation as Canon’s super telephoto lenses at the camera body, enabling easy recall of focus distances for wildlife and sports. All these features provide a similar user interface as Canon’s latest professional camera models.

• With new Movie Servo AF focus algorithms borrowed from EOS C400 and C80, autofocus pulls more naturally to how a manual focus pull would look.

Shoot bigger and burst longer

• The EOS R6 Mark III, enhancing shooting performance over the EOS R6 Mark II, now supports one CFexpress Type B card⁽⁵⁾ and one SD card with UHS-II V90 card support. This hardware improvement provides more power for photographers capturing peak action for extended periods, such as sports celebrations, wildlife scenes, or bird flight sequences, and enables the highest video resolution recording in Canon EOS 6-series history.

Why, and what is Open Gate Recording?

• Today’s hybrid image makers face immense demands, often requiring social media videos to accompany photos and videos delivered to clients. With Open Gate recording enabled, the camera scans the full-frame, 3:2 aspect ratio image sensor area to record video imagery in the the same 3:2 aspect ratio as still images. This allows post-production versatility to reformat the 3:2 ratio imagery to various formats, such as vertical 9:16, 16:9, 1:1, 4:3, or 4:5.
