CanonR6 V

The C50 and R6 Mark III sensor with a cooling fan and no mechanical shutter, so every mode is read off the rolling shutter. Readouts follow the C50 and are estimates.

Sensor 36.00 × 24.00 mm (Full frame), 6960 × 4640 photosites, 5.17 µm pitch, rolling shutter.

Drawn to the same scale on every camera page. Grey is the whole sensor, the coloured figures are the open mode.

Choosing a mode

Uncropped 4K 120p is the better choice for fast movement than 7K open gate.
The fan is what lets it hold 7K for long takes, where the R6 Mark III would stop.

≈ marks an estimate. * marks an uncertain readout: nobody has measured that mode on this camera, so the figure is worked out from a measured mode by line count, from a camera on the same sensor, or from the frame rate it reaches. Top frame rate is the highest the camera offers in that mode, in its best codec and on its fastest media; other codecs often stop lower. Readout is how long the sensor takes to scan one frame from top to bottom, which is what leans verticals on a fast pan. Under 10 ms is comfortable handheld; past about 16 ms fast movement starts to lean.

Frame rates and sensor areas from Canon's published specifications. Readout figures without * are CineD lab measurements. Modes and frame rates change with firmware, so check the current manual before a job depends on one. Dynamic range for this camera is on Dynamic range by camera.
