The R6 has a faster sensor readout and suffers less from it, as you can see below. The quicker you move, the more visible it is (this phenomenon is known as rolling shutter). When using the electronic shutter, both cameras can produce distortion when panning quickly. It can be very distracting so I’m glad Canon gave us the option of real blackout with the firmware update. It introduces a weird lag effect where the sequence constantly freezes, then resumes motion. The idea is to create a smoother sequence in the LCD or viewfinder instead of having the black frame interrupting the flow all the time but I never liked this concept (the EOS R does the same). If disabled, the camera mixes live view with the image just captured (basically “covering” the blackout with the recorded image). The latter is an option you can enable on the R6 with firmware 1.2.0. With slower speeds, both cameras show you live view with blackouts. Plus, the shutter lag of the camera is really short. That said, when working at 20fps, the sequence is so fast that this rarely posed an issue, even with birds in flight. This means that what you see just happened an instant ago rather than in real time. With the mechanical shutter, you can go down to 8fps, 6fps or 3fps just like with the Sony.Īt the maximum speed of 12fps or 20fps, the EOS R6 shows you the last images taken in rapid succession instead of live view (the A7 III does the same at 10fps.). The Sony A7 III can’t match these specifications, with the highest frame rate being 10fps (with AF and AE tracking).Ĭuriously, when the e-shutter is enabled, the R6 always shoots at 20fps even if you select the Medium or Low burst speed. Continuous Autofocus and Exposure tracking remain active even at 20fps. The Canon EOS R6 can shoot up to 12fps, or 20fps if you use the electronic shutter. I guess we’re not quite at the point where HEIF will become the new JPG. In both cases, there is a loss of saturation when converting the files.
EIS R6 PROFESSIONAL
The workaround is to either use the HEIF to JPG conversion built-in in camera (but there is no batch processing) or the Canon Digital Professional 4 software.
EIS R6 SOFTWARE
However not many software are compatible with this new format, including Lightroom and Photoshop (they can open HDR photos from an iPhone so it’s probably just a matter of widening the compatibility of the various versions).

Despite the age and price difference, the EOS R6 is a direct competitor for the E-mount camera and its future successor. It’s difficult not to compare this new camera to the A7 III given its popularity. One of them, the EOS R6, challenges the likes of the Sony A7 III, Nikon Z6 II and Panasonic S5 in the prosumer segment. After years of slow evolution, Canon’s full frame mirrorless system has come to fruition with the release of two very interesting cameras.
