CANON ANNOUNCES ITS SMALLEST AND LIGHTEST FULL-FRAME DIGITAL SLR CAMERA FOR SERIOUS PHOTOGRAPHERS
The EOS 6D Digital SLR Camera Includes a New Full-Frame Sensor, Built-in Wireless and GPS
LAKE SUCCESS, N.Y., September 17, 2012 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader
in digital imaging solutions, today introduced the EOS 6D Digital SLR
Camera, a versatile mid-range full-frame camera with the durability and
performance professionals require and the creative imaging options
serious photographers crave. Canon has coupled the incredible image
quality of a newly designed 20.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor and
DIGIC 5+ Image Processor with the creative potential of built-in
wireless transmitter and GPS features. The camera also includes an
11-point AF array and 63-zone dual-layer iFCL metering sensor together
with 1080p Full HD video capabilities, in an affordable camera body.
Building upon the qualities that made the EOS 5D Mark II camera so
successful, the EOS 6D bridges the gap for budget-minded photographers,
videographers and cinematographers who are eager to step up into the
world of full-frame imaging.
"The introduction of this camera
completes a well-rounded ecosystem from input through output for Canon,
allowing us to provide the right combination of features for every
level of photographer. We believe the EOS 6D Digital SLR Camera along
with our new PIXMA Pro printers will help unlock the creative vision of
so many who aspire to capture and display their artistic abilities,"
stated Yuichi Ishizuka, executive vice president and general manager,
Imaging Technologies & Communications Group, Canon U.S.A.
Designed for advanced amateurs and videographers making the move to a
full-frame Digital SLR, the EOS 6D fits neatly into Canon's professional
imaging system with an advanced feature set including full manual
options for creative control in addition to new and intuitive automatic
settings to help even novice photographers capture great images. The
camera's construction helps meet the needs of professionals with a
100,000-cycle shutter durability and EOS Integrated Cleaning System for
high-quality vibration-based dust removal. Among the many advancements
in Canon's new EOS 6D is the Company's proprietary DIGIC 5+ Image
Processor that powers the camera's fast 14-bit analog-to-digital
conversion for exceptionally smooth color tones and gradation. The
camera offers a full-frame, 20.2-megapixel CMOS sensor and continuous
shooting up to 4.5 frames per second (fps).
Thanks to the
combination of its new CMOS image sensor and the powerful DIGIC 5+ image
processor, the EOS 6D provides a wide ISO range from 100-25600 with a
low setting, L: 50 and two high settings, H1: 51200 and H2: 102400.
These outstanding low-light capabilities allow the EOS 6D to easily
capture dimly lit scenes such as wedding ceremonies, indoor corporate
events, or landscapes at dusk. To support the ample sensitivity of the
new camera's sensor, the EOS 6D camera's Auto Focus (AF) system includes
a newly-developed 11-point AF sensor featuring a high-precision center
cross-type point with an exceptional EV -3 sensitivity rating for
accurate focusing even in extremely low-light conditions.
The
EOS 6D has a large 3.0-inch Clear View LCD monitor with 1,040,000 dot
VGA resolution and 170 degree viewing angle, with high-transparency
multicoating for maximum protection and clarity when viewing images or
navigating menu screens. When used for Live View shooting, the camera's
bright high-performance LCD screen provides 100 percent coverage, for
easy focusing and framing.
Full-Frame 1080p Full HD Video
Videographers, student filmmakers, and creative independent spirits
will appreciate the full-frame video capabilities of the EOS 6D in an
affordable and compact body. Borrowing from the best of the EOS
5D-series, the EOS 6D provides full manual control over exposure and
audio levels while recording video. The camera features NTSC and PAL
video modes at multiple frame rates, recording 1080p at 30 (29.97), 24
(23.976) and 25 fps, 720p at 60 (59.94) and 50 fps and standard video at
30 (29.97) and 25 fps. The camera provides up to 29 minutes and 59
seconds of continuous recording (with 4GB automatic file partitioning)
in selectable All i-frame or IPB compressions with embedded timecode.
Especially when used with large aperture lenses, the EOS 6D camera's
full-frame sensor offers a tremendous degree of creative control over
depth-of-field, helping users to achieve pro-quality cinematic effects
in Full HD video recordings.
Built-in Wi-Fi and GPS
For the ultimate in DSLR connectivity and control, the EOS 6D features
a built-in wireless transmitter which allows the camera to share images
and video with the user's choice of wireless devices such as select
PowerShot cameras, smartphones, or tablets, as well as cloud-based
destinations including social networking sites through the Canon iMAGE
GATEWAY . A very intuitive and useful wireless feature is the new, free
Canon EOS Remote app available for iOS and Android systems which will
allow a smartphone or wireless device such as a tablet to remotely
connect, control and operate the connected EOS 6D . This seamless
connection and control will open new opportunities for professional
photographers shooting weddings or remote wildlife, without the need for
tethered operation or accessories.
For on-location shooters,
landscape photographers or enthusiast photo travelers, the EOS 6D
features a built-in GPS receiver to record longitude, latitude,
elevation and Coordinated Universal Time (UTC) as EXIF data for seamless
geo-tagging while shooting. The GPS coordinates are appended to each
image and easily syncs with Canon software or mapping apps on social
network sites to show image locations. Use of UTC data allows images to
be chronologically mapped and trails plotted and recorded.
Boundless Creativity
To help photographers unlock their full creative potential and
explore all the different avenues of digital photography, the EOS 6D
includes several creative modes for image capture. First is the HDR
(High Dynamic Range) mode allowing the camera to capture three separate
exposures and combine them in-camera for a stunning image capturing both
enhanced shadow detail and bright highlights. Next is the camera's
Multiple Exposure mode where users can combine up to nine individual
images into a single composite image, with no need for later computer
post-processing. Four different compositing methods are provided for
maximum creative control, including Additive, Average, Bright and Dark.
Compositing results can be viewed in real time on the camera's LCD
monitor, and there is a one-step Undo command that allows photographers
to delete an image and try again if desired. The EOS 6D will even allow
photographers to specify a previously captured RAW image as the starting
point for a new Multiple Exposure composite image. In addition to HDR
and Multiple Exposure modes are Canon's standard Scene Intelligent Auto
and special scene modes to capture great images with ease. The camera is
compatible with SD, SDHC, and SDXC memory cards including the new Ultra
High Speed (UHS-I) cards.
Pricing and Availability
The EOS 6D Digital SLR Camera will be sold in a body-only
configuration at an estimated retail price of $2,099.00 and it will
additionally be offered in a kit version with Canon's EF 24-105mm f/4L
IS USM zoom lens at an estimated retail price of $2,899.00. Both
configurations are expected to be available in December 2012.
