The EOS M6 incorporates Dual Pixel CMOS AF technology and an APS-C size sensor with approximately 24.2 million effective pixels*1 capable of both phase detection AF and image capture. In addition, this sensor, which enables quick tracking and smooth focusing across a wide shooting area*2, realizes up to approximately 7 frames per second (fps) continuous shooting with AF and AE tracking and up to approximately 9.0 fps continuous shooting with fixed AF. What’s more, the EOS M6 also makes possible high-quality stills and video shooting with minimal noise.

Equipped with the newest DIGIC 7 image processor and an approximately 24.2 million effective pixel APS-C size CMOS sensor, the EOS M6 achieves improved noise reduction and image resolution over the EOS M3 when shooting at high sensitivities, realizing a normal high sensitivity of ISO25600 when shooting still images. Noise is suppressed, even in low-light environments, allowing for high-image-quality shooting that captures images with a sense of depth and texture.

Pursuing a design that lets users concentrate fully on shooting, the new EOS M6 embodies the design principles of “progress, style and user-friendliness,” from the sleek, curved design around the shutter button to the fluid grip, which allows users to keep a firm hold on the camera body. The EOS M6 will be available in two colors: black and silver.

*1 Actual pixel count: approximately 25.8 million pixels
*2 Shooting area coverage of approximately 80% (l) and 80% (w)
