Moving pictures

The EOS 6D Mark II offers Full HD 1920x1080 movie shooting at different rates with a maximum duration of 29 minutes, 59 seconds. In time-lapse movie mode there is the option of 4K 3840x2160 shooting.

Mark II houses all the features every keen photographer needs to make the most of their passion for taking memorable pictures

Full-frame sensor

The full-frame 35.9x24mm CMOS sensor has an impressive resolution of 26.2 megapixels and features Canon’s EOS integrated cleaning system. Working with the DIGIC 7 processor, the EOS 6D Mark II delivers images of outstanding clarity and colour fidelity and files can be made into poster-size prints full of detail.

Expose it right

The camera’s advanced exposure system has the technology to deliver beautifully accurate exposures time after time almost regardless of the subject and lighting type. The metering sensor is Canon’s own 7560-pixel RGB+IR and this can be set up to work in different ways. When using the optical viewfinder, the default is Evaluative metering where the lighting measuring area is divided into 63 zones that are linked to the AF points so the camera measures light from the focused area. In live view, the camera uses 315 zones. Evaluative metering is the standby light measurement method and can deal successfully with almost any scene but if you prefer to have more control you can select centre-weighted average, partial (measures 6.5% of the optical viewfinder image) or spot (3.2%) metering. Further flexibility is offered with exposure compensation, exposure lock and autoexposure bracketing (AEB).

Built to perform

The EOS 6DMark II has a dust- andweather- resistant build. Partner it with a dust- and moisture-resistant lens such as those featured overleaf and you have a camera/lens combination designed to perform impeccably whatever the conditions.
