Up to 40-fps Photo Shooting2 and with 20-frames of pre-continuous shooting
Up to 40 frames per second photo shooting
Capturing “The moment” of maximum action is critical and can be extremely difficult even for top professional photographers trying to capture imagery of unpredictable subjects – so the EOS R6 Mark III camera features up-to 40-frames per second continuous drive shooting when set to the H+ drive mode in Electronic Shutter.
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 stops3 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 features four additional AF area options, displayed with a small lock icon, which deliberately cancel Focus Tracking and Subject Detection AF, as well as Whole Area Servo AF tracking is disabled. 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 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 card5 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.
Can’t stop, so don’t swap
Don’t let a full-card warning prevent you from capturing the moment. Up-to 8-Terabyte CFexpress Type B card support is available.
