Canon has launched the EOS M6 Mark II, the latest addition to the EOS M series of mirrorless interchangeable-lens camera family. The EOS M6 Mark II is a stylish, lightweight and compact camera, almost half the weight of a mid-range DSLR, while measuring less than half its size.
“True to the Canon EOS M Series, the EOS M6 Mark II features its signature compact and lightweight body, with new and improved features so our users don’t miss out on the important moments in life,” said Edwin Teoh, Head of Marketing, Singapore Operations, Canon Singapore.
“In order to cater to the growing popularity of videography and vlogging, the EOS M6 Mark II comes with top-of-the-line functions that enable users to expound on their creativity and explore limitless filming possibilities.”
Enhanced with fast-locking and fast-tracking autofocus for capturing unexpected moments, the EOS M6 Mark II’s compact and lightweight body also contains a 32.5-megapixel APSC CMOS sensor to ensure vibrant and detailed images under low-light or high-contrast conditions. Through the EVF-DC2, Touch and Drag AF allows users to move their focus point around with a finger on the LCD while still keeping their eye on the viewfinder.
Powered by Canon’s latest DIGIC 8 image processor, the EOS M6 Mark II is designed with Canon’s proprietary Dual Pixel CMOS Auto Focus. High-precision AF Tracking and Eye-Detection AF, means subjects constantly in motion will stay in focus. With up to 5,481 AF positions to choose from, users will have all the flexibility they need.
Boasting a low-light focusing limit of EV-5, the EOS M6 Mark II is able to focus on subjects with high precision in dark conditions, such as a dimly-lit street or at home with soft lighting. The EOS M6 Mark II is also capable of up to 30 fps continuous shooting in RAW burst mode. The EOS M6 Mark II’s electronic shutter ensures photographers can shoot stealthily and confidently without having to worry about the shutter sound startling or disrupting their subjects.
With the option to shoot 4K movies with no cropping, users will be able to get the full field of view of their lens. The EOS M6 Mark II also allows users to produce super slow-motion scenes by shooting at 120p/100p in full high definition (FHD). Users can now shoot wide-angle footage of events and slow them down stylistically.
With the camera’s 3" tilting LCD, which tilts downwards by 45 degrees and upwards to 180 degrees, users will be able to shoot from new angles. The EOS M6 Mark II’s five-axis movie digital image stabilisation reduces camera shakes for clearer, sharper videos, even when the user or the camera is moving.
To ensure top audio quality, users also have the option of utilising the built-in microphone, or mounting an external mic to record ambient sounds and dialogue between subjects.
The EOS M6 Mark II further supports the use of the optional Electronic Viewfinder EVF-DC2, allowing users to check on image framing and or adjust picture settings while keeping the camera close for steady shooting. This option particularly comes in handy when shooting under strong lighting conditions, where potential glare and reflection on the LCD screen might be a problem.
For connectivity the EOS M6 Mark II has users sorted with Bluetooth Low Energy technology and built-in Wi-Fi connectivity. Transferring 4K videos from the camera is also a cinch, as they will be automatically compressed to Full HD before transferring.
Additionally, compatible devices like smartphones can be turned into live viewfinders and even be used as a remote control to capture images on the camera with the Canon Camera Connect app.
Exclusive collaboration with Doraemon
Canon has partnered with the iconic Doraemon, a popular cartoon character. Synonymous with the robotic cat’s ability to travel through time, Canon’s imaging products will help capture moments in time for users as precious memories they can revisit.
