20.2 Megapixel
Full-Frame
CMOS sensor
The EOS 6D features a newly developed 20.2
Megapixel CMOS sensor for exceptional full-frame
performance. With no conversion factor, the
EOS 6D’s sensor ensures that lenses mounted on
the camera will deliver the same angle of view
they would on a traditional 35mm camera. A new,
enhanced manufacturing process delivers a more
sensitive sensor, with wider dynamic range and a
superb signal-to-noise ratio for phenomenal
performance and impressively detailed images.
The sensor captures images of 5496 x 3861
effective pixels with a pixel size of 6.55 µm
square for fantastic detail, and has a high-speed
4-channel readout enabling 4.5 frames per
second performance. Optimized for low power
consumption in addition to being lightweight and
compact, it’s the perfect sensor for the EOS 6D.
DIGIC 5+ Image Processor
The EOS 6D’s
5+
Image
Processor delivers supercharged
performance and features new
algorithms that promote greater
noise reduction at higher ISOs. With the power
of the
5+
Image Processor, speed
improvements are
noticeable from
the instant the
EOS 6D is turned
on with stunning,
responsive
performance
recording movies
and capturing 4.5
still frames per second. For high-speed analog
to digital conversion, the EOS 6D complements
the
5+
Image Processor with a 4-channel
front end processing circuit for speedy 4-channel
full-frame capture. Meanwhile, the
5+
Image Processor completes real-time scene
correction like HDR Backlight control and
Handheld Night Scene plus MultiShot Noise
Reduction and much, much more.
EOS CAMERAS
Wide ISO Range (100–25600)
Working in tandem with the EOS 6D’s
5+
Image Processor, the
camera’s Full-Frame CMOS sensor
delivers ISO sensitivities of 100–25600
(with expanded sensitivities of L: 50,
H1: 51200, H2: 102400), achieving images
of amazing detail and reduced noise in even
the sparest lighting situations.
iFCL Metering
The EOS 6D features Canon’s multi-layer
63-zone iFCL (intelligent Focus Color Luminance)
Metering System that integrates the camera’s AF
system into its readings. By taking into account
the color and luminosity surrounding the chosen
AF point(s), the iFCL system delivers a superb
level of accuracy, especially in situations where
the light changes quickly. The metering sensor
enables evaluative, center weighted, partial and
spot metering, plus offers 5-step exposure
compensation for perfectly exposed images,
every time.
11-point AF System
(Center point EV -3)
The EOS 6D has a brand new,
11-point AF system for fast, accurate
autofocus no matter the situation. With its
new centered cross-type AF point (at f/5.6)
with EV -3 sensitivity plus a newly developed
high defocus control support, the EOS 6D has
incredible AF performance, even in dim light.
Offering One-Shot AF, AI Servo AF, and AI
Focus AF, the EOS 6D’s AI Servo focus can be
customized with tracking, acceleration and
deceleration tracking sensitivities and 1st or
2nd image priority adjustments. The AF
Microadjustment allows photographers to
adjust both the telephoto and wide angle
ends of lenses, for even more focus
accuracy. This amazing AF system is
complemented by the EOS 6D’s bright 21mm
eye point viewfinder with 97% coverage for
easy composition.
EOS Full HD Video
The EOS 6D captures
Full HD video with a level of
sophistication on par with professional movie
cameras, offering incredible performance on a
DSLR. It offers both All-I (UHS-I memory card is
required) and IPB compression, supports H.264
/MPEG-4 AVC High Profile, and automatically
splits files greater than 4GB (FAT specifications)
for extended recording without interruption. It
offers the option of timecoding during recording
only (Rec Run) or at all times (Free Run), useful for
multi-camera shoots. It also features improved
sound recording adjustment capabilities, offering
64-step volume control accessible through the
Quick Control screen, plus a dedicated
microphone jack for convenience in shooting.
The CMOS sensor’s drive system significantly
increases image processor performance,
reducing color artifacts and moiré (a common
problem that occurs in scenes with fine parallel
lines), and ensures that the EOS 6D can record
at a number of frame rates up to ISO 25600 in
H mode. Exposure, focus and Live View features,
even in-camera editing, are simple to control with
the EOS 6D’s clear and intuitive interface.
Durable Construction
The EOS 6D is designed to be portable, light
and simple to operate yet maintains the build
quality one expects from EOS DSLRs. With an
aluminum alloy and polycarbonate chassis and
a magnesium, polycarbonate resin and glass
fiber exterior, plus a shutter rated to 100,000
cycles, the EOS 6D offers the perfect
combination of lightweight and rugged
materials for reliable operation day after day.
