Empowering Passion and Unleashing Possibilities with the EOS R6 Mark III and RF45mm f/1.2 STM

 

Canon announced an addition to the EOS R mirrorless system, the new full-frame EOS R6 Mark III camera and the RF45mm f/1.2 STM, a new large aperture standard prime lens designed for enthusiasts and hobbyists.

Succeeding the EOS R6 Mark II, which was released in 2023, the EOS R6 Mark III features a higher 32.5-megapixel resolution and improved speed, performance, and reliability. It also incorporates powerful video capabilities that support professional workflows. 

As for the RF45mm f/1.2 STM, it is Canon’s widest aperture non-professional lens in its RF lens lineup. A versatile and easy-to-use 45mm focal length on full-frame cameras, it broadens accessibility of an f/1.2 lens to users. On APS-C cameras like the EOS R50, users can expect a portrait-friendly 72mm full-frame equivalent focal length.

“With the addition of the EOS R6 Mark III, the EOS R system’s ‘6’ series has reached its third generation. True to the series’ legacy, the EOS R6 Mark III packs in Canon’s latest photo and video technologies, making it a powerful and versatile tool for storytellers,” said Nagai Katsuyuki, Senior Director of Regional ICB Sales & Marketing, Canon Singapore.

Higher Resolution and Speed

With the EOS R6 Mark III’s 32.5-megapixel resolution, finer details can be captured in higher definition but with more cropping flexibility. The higher megapixel count comes in useful when it comes to a close crop of faraway subjects.

The EOS R6 Mark III can capture up to approximately 150 shots when shooting up to 40 fps in the high-speed continuous shooting (electronic shutter) mode. Despite the higher processing load, it maintains the same high-speed continuous shooting rate: up to 40 fps (electronic shutter), and up to 12 fps (mechanical/electronic first-curtain shutter).

Capturing the Moment

The EOS R6 Mark III features a user-friendly pre-continuous shooting feature. Before the shutter button is fully pressed, up to 20 continuous shots can be recorded in any still recording format including RAW, C-RAW, and HEIF, on any AF mode. Frames can be accessed for post-processing like any other image. 

Autofocus algorithm enhancements offer more tenacious subject tracking, increasing the success rate when shooting difficult subjects and simplifying the post-shooting workflow. The EOS R6 Mark III also inherits the Register People Priority function also found in the flagship EOS R1, allowing pre-registered people to be prioritized for detection and tracking when shooting photos or videos in group situations such as events, concerts, or team sports.

A Leap in Video Capabilities

The EOS R6 Mark III offers more recording and post-production options that cater to different purpose and usage. It supports 7K 60p internal RAW video recording to a CF-express Type B card and is the first EOS R series camera to offer 3:2 Open Gate recording (up to 7K 30p RAW). 

This provides greater post-production flexibility for reframing, especially when creating horizontal and vertical videos from the same footage. During 7K 60p RAW recording, users can also simultaneously record a smaller MP4 proxy file or a 4K DCI Fine MP4 sub movie to its SD card slot.

Recording formats have been expanded, adding internal RAW recording, Canon Log 2, and the HLG gamma recording capabilities to the pre-existing Canon Log 3 and HDR PQ. Support for the Cinema EOS range’s Custom Picture (CP) profiles including custom LUTs helps set recording options like gamma, colour sampling, and bit depth for different workflow and delivery requirements. Official LUT files can also be downloaded from the new Canon LUT Library. Additional custom LUT files can be easily imported to the EOS R6 Mark III via the Camera Connect smartphone app or recording media.

Like the EOS R5 Mark II, the EOS R6 Mark III supports waveform monitor display, in addition to false colours and zebras to check and achieve accurate exposure on set. New features like the AWB Response and Shockless WB enable seamless white balance transitions during video shooting regardless the AWB is utilized or the white balance is manually adjusted.

During shooting, there are 14 Color Filters that can be used to apply instant color grading effects to stills or videos for quick output or to preview how the final video will look like. Additionally, there is a S&F mode that records up to 60x fast motion 4K video and 5x (4K) or 7.5x (2K DCI) slow motion video.

Innovative Body

The EOS R6 Mark III retains the basic operability, reliability, and durable body design of the EOS R6 Mark II, with enhanced button customisation and improved ergonomics for handheld vertical shooting.  It uses the LP-E6P battery pack and supports the BG-R20/BG-R20EP battery grip, which holds two batteries to power longer shoots and improves ergonomics for handheld vertical shooting.

f/1.2 Made Accessible

As Canon’s first f/1.2 lens of its class, the RF45mm f/1.2 STM is a compact, lightweight and affordable option for users who desire bokeh. The lens also delivers greater low light flexibility and AF support. The 45mm focal length allows users to capture a natural perspective, while moving seamlessly between wide environmental shots and intimate close-ups—often with just a single step. 

On APS-C cameras, the lens achieves a 72mm equivalent angle of view that is ideal for portraits, close-ups of objects, and street photography. With the lens’ f/1.2 bokeh, users will find it easy to frame their storytelling in a defining manner. When stopped down to f/8, the lens delivers professional standard edge-to-edge sharpness.

The lens weighs approximately 346g and is the smallest f/1.2 lens in both EF and RF lens range. This was made possible by the effective use of the PMo (plastic molded) aspherical lens elements, gear-type STM technology with a magnetic detection system, and digital lens correction.

The compact, lightweight body complements full-frame cameras like the EOS R6 Mark III and smaller APS-C cameras like the EOS R50, forming an excellent shoot combination for enhanced agility. 

Powerful and Cost-Efficient

Both the EOS R6 Mark III and RF45mm f/1.2 STM bring excellent cost-performance benefits, integrating many of their higher-end counterparts’ powerful features. The RF45mm f/1.2 STM’s f/1.2 maximum aperture allows ample light information to reach the EOS R6 Mark III’s sensor, unleashing the full potential of its Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system’s low light capabilities. This results in a faster, more accurate subject detection and tracking in low-light conditions.

Paired with the EOS R6 Mark III's 5-axis image stabilisation, the RF45mm f/1.2 STM delivers sharp, clean images at a slow shutter speed and lower ISO. These two new products is a powerful combination for advanced enthusiasts who seek the best value with maximum performance and versatility.
