Canon Launches ‘EOS R6 Mark II’ and ‘RF135mm f/1.8L IS USM’ in India: Price Starts at ₹2,43,995

Canon launches the EOS R6 Mark II, and RF135mm f/1.8L IS USM in India. It is the successor of the popular EOS R6, the EOS R6 Mark II comes with a host of redefined professional video production features and revved-up still shooting features, including 6K 60p RAW video external recording, Canon Log 3, High Frame Rate Full HD 180p recording, focus breathing correction and many more.

The Canon EOS R6 Mark II offers up to 40 fps with AF/AE tracking, the fastest continuous shooting speed in the EOS camera system. It can also record 6K RAW externally via HDMI, with Full HD proxy data simultaneously recorded to one of the two SD card slots for easy editing. Internally, it is capable of high-quality 4K 60p video oversampled from 6K, and High Frame Rate video up to Full HD 180p, in addition to Canon Log 3 and HDR PQ video. With improved heat management, the camera now supports unlimited continuous recording of 4K at 30 fps.

The EOS R6 Mark II is also the first Canon EOS camera to support focus breathing correction, which reduces unwanted changes in the angle of view during focus transitions. This complements existing features such as AF speed adjustment, providing greater control over focus transitions which is crucial for expression. In addition to the existing zebra display, the EOS R6 Mark II is equipped with the false color function widely used in the Cinema EOS system, making it easier to adjust exposure even in tricky conditions.
