Canon EOS R6V camera launch: ‘From India to the world’

Canon specifically highlighted the importance of India and growing creator community in the country. According to Tiger Ishii, managing executive officer, Canon, president, Canon Marketing Asia, President & CEO, Canon Singapore Pte Ltd, India is one of the most strategic markets worldwide standing at the forefront of a powerful storytelling evolution.

“From weddings, cinematography and regional cinema to digital-first content and independent productions, creators today demand tools that deliver cinematic excellence, mobility, and workflow agility without compromise,” he said.

Toshiaki Nomura, President and CEO, Canon India, said: “With the launch of the EOS R6V camera and RF 20-50 F4L IS USM lens we are strengthening Canon’s video-focused ecosystem in India with a future-ready solution built for modern filmmaking and creator-led storytelling.”

EOS R6 V: Made for filmmakers

Canon says that the EOS R6 V has been heavily optimised for video, and takes cues from the EOS R6 Mark III. The camera features a 32.5MP full-frame sensor capable of 7K Open Gate recording – a feature that allows creators to records using the entire sensor area, which essentially making it easier to crop the footage into both horizontal and vertical formats without losing image quality.

One of the highlights of the camera is the inclusion of a fan that addresses the common “overheating” issue of modern mirrorless cameras. The Canon EOS R6 V includes a built-in cooling fan, allowing for recording times up to three times longer than its predecessors, the company claims, adding that the camera gets built-in optical image stabilisation to cancel out the vibration caused by the fan movement.

When it comes to user interface, Canon says that it automatically rotates when shooting vertically, catering to the “Reels and Shorts” era. The camera gets a dedicated vertical tripod socket.

Canon brings the Canon’s first professional Power Zoom lens

Pairing with the new body is the RF 20-50 F4L IS USM, Canon’s first-ever professional-grade L-series lens to feature a built-in Power Zoom – designed for smooth, cinematic transitions. Users can control the zoom via a ring on the lens or a lever on the camera body, with 15 adjustable speed levels.

The features addresses the camera balance shift issue because the lens barrel does not change length while zooming, allowing it to be used on gimbals or complex rigs.
