SINGAPORE, 29 June 2017
– Canon today announced
the launch of the Canon EOS 6D Mark II, the lightest DSLR in the EOS full-frame
DSLR line that offers photography enthusiasts the complete arsenal of
full-frame DSLR functions, packed into a nimble and compact body.

The EOS 6D Mark II is
equipped with a 26.2 Megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor that delivers
exceptionally clear images even under low light conditions, and is capable of
achieving an impressive background blur effect – a key characteristic of large
sensors. Equipped with Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology for high-performance focus
tracking in Live View mode as well as DIGIC 7 image processor for high image
quality even in dimly lit situations, the EOS 6D Mark II boasts of significant
feature enhancements as compared to its predecessor. A first in Canon’s full-frame
DSLR range, the EOS 6D Mark II is designed with a versatile Vari-angle touch
panel, giving users the flexibility of shooting from a high or low angle.

“In a time where
there is increasingly keen interest and demand for top-notch image quality, the
EOS 6D Mark II opens the gateway to full-frame photography for photography
enthusiasts who are looking to up their game”, said Edwin Teoh, Head of
Marketing, Singapore Operations, Canon Singapore. “Conscientious thought has
been given to the EOS 6D Mark II to ensure a compact design and intuitive usability, so as to empower a
new generation of full-frame photography enthusiasts with superior still and
video innovations.”

With a huge leap from 11-point in the EOS 6D to
45-point all cross-type AF system, the 45-point all cross-type AF system
provides AF coverage over an expanded area during viewfinder shooting. Of the
45 points, 27 are f/8 compatible, resulting in excellent performance when using
an extender.

Additionally, the EOS 6D Mark II possesses a
continuous shooting speed of up to 6.5 fps, which promises sharp image capture
of even fast-moving subjects. In Live View mode, continuous shooting speed is
still impressive at up to 4 fps. Coupled with enhanced ISO speeds of up to
40,000 (expandable to 102,400), users are able to capture exceptionally low
noise images. With the sensitivity of the center AF point rated at -3EV, the
EOS 6D Mark II can consistently acquire focus in extremely low light levels
(roughly equivalent to light cast by a full moon).

The EOS 6D Mark II is equipped with a 7560
pixel RGB+IR metering sensor and a colour detection AF that enables consistent
and accurate exposure in various lighting conditions. It automatically detects
skin tones and prioritises focus on human subjects within the frame. With the
addition of the lens aberration correction settings, the EOS 6D Mark II
automatically detects the lens paired, and corrects distortion and diffraction
at the time of shooting.

To offer users unbridled flexibility and room
for creative expression, several features are incorporated as a first in
Canon’s full-frame EOS series. Sporting a Vari-angle touchscreen LCD monitor,
users will be able shoot from high to low angles nimbly. This is complemented
by the inclusion of the brand new Panning function. This Panning function helps
in enhancing the background blur while keeping the main subject in focus by
automatically selecting the optimal shutter speed by analysing the panning
speed of the camera and the speed of the subject.

Through the Intelligent Viewfinder, users have
quick and easy access to all shooting information without needing to look away
from the viewfinder. The battery life of the EOS 6D Mark II can also be
extended to accommodate longer shooting hours with the optional battery grip
(BG-E21) which houses 2 pieces of LP-E6N batteries. Ergonomically designed,
users will find that the EOS 6D Mark II paired with the BG-E21 battery grip
allows for greater ease and comfort, especially when shooting in portrait mode.

The affordable EOS 6D Mark II offers
videographers the enjoyable experience of shooting professional movies in full
HD at a seamless 60p. Powered by the high speed Dual Pixel CMOS AF, a
proprietary Canon-developed technology, smooth and high performance focus
tracking can be achieved when shooting in both Live View and movie mode. When
recording movies, the EOS 6D Mark II is able to continuously track the
movements of subjects seamlessly, and also enable users to switch focus from a
foreground subject to a background subject quickly and simply via touch focus
on the Vari-angle LCD.

In addition, tracking sensitivity and AF speed
can be customised to allow movie-makers to create their desired effects. To
combat shaky footages caused by movement, Movie digital IS provides the highly
effective 5-axis image stabilization to support handheld shoots, even when
paired with non-IS lenses.

With the 4K Time-lapse movie function,
movie-makers can also capture moods and moments by combining still images shot
at intervals over time. For example, users can produce a high quality
Time-lapse movie of the sunrise, sunset, moving clouds or heavy traffic on a
bustling street.

With Wi-Fi and NFC connectivity, users can
transfer images and videos from the camera to the smart devices and upload them
onto the Canon Image Gateway, social media platforms and cloud storage. Also by
using the Canon Camera Connect app, users have real-time control of camera
settings such as shutter speed, focus selection and self-timer and more.

In addition, the EOS 6D Mark II features
Bluetooth low energy technology which maintains constant connection to a
compatible smart device at a low power consumption. With this constant
connection, users can view images and start remote capture from the camera even
when it is in Auto Power Off mode. Smart devices, when paired with Bluetooth, can
wake the camera up, and then switch to Wi-Fi for browsing and viewing images or
performing remote capture (with Live View).

Equipped with a GPS receiver, users can also
log coordinates of every place that they have photographed, which can be stored
as metadata accompanying each image. A GPS log can also be kept to create a map
of places photographed as a record of the places the user has been to.

The EOS 6D Mark II will be available at
authorised Canon dealers on 27 July 2017 at the following recommended retail
prices. Customers who make a pre-order from 13 July 2017 to 26 July 2017 will
be entitled to a free Canon professional camera bagpack worth $289.
