Canon has officially introduced its latest full-frame mirrorless camera, the EOS R6 Mark III, alongside the new RF45mm F1.2 STM lens to the Indian market. The EOS R6 Mark III builds upon the legacy of last year’s Mark II model, bringing a new 32.5-megapixel sensor, faster processing, and a host of professional video features.
EOS R6 Mark III: Enhanced Imaging and Performance
The newly unveiled EOS R6 Mark III empowers photographers to capture exceptionally detailed shots, thanks to its high-res sensor and advanced image processing. With cropping flexibility, users can zoom in on distant subjects without sacrificing quality. A standout addition is the pre-continuous shooting function, which starts recording images the moment before the shutter is fully pressed, available in RAW, C-RAW, and HEIF formats.
Autofocus improvements ensure dynamic subject tracking, making it easier to keep fast-moving subjects in sharp focus—even in unpredictable scenarios. The camera also introduces a Register People Priority system that enables shooters to prioritise individuals pre-set in the camera during group photos or video sessions. Featuring robust weather-resistant construction and a revamped button arrangement, the Mark III is optimised for comfortable vertical handheld shooting.
Videographers can take advantage of an array of colour control and exposure tools, such as waveform, false colour, and zebra patterns. White balance adjustments remain smooth, aided by AWB Response and Shockless WB. Tools like 14 built-in colour filters and variable speed Slow & Fast Motion modes unlock creative potential, especially for those working on cinematic projects.
For professional video, the camera enables capturing 7K 60p RAW footage internally, recording 7K 30p RAW in a 3:2 ‘Open Gate’ format, and simultaneously creating MP4 proxy or 4K DCI Fine sub-movies. The Mark III is compatible with various recording profiles, including Canon Log 2, Log 3, HLG, and HDR PQ, and even supports Cinema EOS Custom Picture (CP) profiles with the option to import LUTs (Look Up Tables).

RF45mm F1.2 STM: Compact & Versatile
The new RF45mm F1.2 STM lens is engineered for photographers who want a fast aperture in a compact, lightweight body—weighing roughly 346g. Its design supports beautiful background blur and superior low-light performance. On full-frame cameras, it offers a true-to-life perspective; on APS-C bodies such as the EOS R50, it behaves like a 72mm lens, perfect for portraits and close-up work.
Sharpness is maintained edge-to-edge even at f/8, thanks to PMo aspherical lens elements and Canon’s STM technology, ensuring quick, accurate autofocus. Magnetic detection enhances precise focus adjustments.
