Canon unveils New Ultra High-Speed 7K Open Gate Hybrid Full Frame EOS R6 Mark III and Compact f/1.2 Standard Prime Lens RF45mm F1.2 STM - Canon Hong Kong

HONGKONG, 6^th November 2025 — Canon today announced the launch of the new ultra high-speed Full Frame camera - EOS R6 Mark III, and affordable Ultra-Fast f/1.2 Standard Prime Lens RF45mm F1.2 STM. Designed for advanced photographers and content creators who demand high speed, high precision, and high reliability, the new EOS R6 Mark III sets a new standard in mid range mirrorless full frame camera performance with advanced photo and video features.

Equipped with a newly developed 32.5MP Full Frame Canon CMOS Sensor and enhanced 5-axis In-Body Image Stabilization, the EOS R6 Mark III shoots up to 40 FPS^[1] with electronic shutter^[2], also supports pre-continuous shooting^[3] that captures up to 20 frames before fully pressing the shutter button. EOS R6 Mark III ensures every decisive moment is preserved in stunning detail. the EOS R6 Mark III delivers unparalleled clarity and control across shooting environments.

At its core, the EOS R6 Mark III integrates Canon’s renowned Dual Pixel CMOS AF II technology, offering 1,053 AF zones with up to 100% AF coverage area^[4]. The refined algorithm enhances AF stability, delivering improved AF performance over previous generations for both human and animal subjects.

First in EOS Full Frame mirrorless camera, EOS R6 Mark III supports internal recording of non-cropped 7K Open Gate (3:2) 30p 12-bit RAW Movie (6960 x 4640) or 7K Open Gate (3:2) 30p MP4 (6912 x 4608). This feature allows creators to crop and reframe in multiple aspect ratios—from cinematic widescreen to social-media vertical—without sacrificing image detail, empowering both filmmakers and content producers to deliver across diverse platforms from a single take.

Compact, powerful, and technologically evolved, the EOS R6 Mark III delivers unparalleled clarity and control across shooting environments, representing a new pinnacle in high-performance full-frame imaging for creators who move at the speed of inspiration.

Launching alongside the EOS R6 Mark III, the new RF45mm F1.2 STM lens, Canon’s widest aperture non-professional lens in its RF lens lineup, offers an affordable and lightweight entry into the world of ultra-fast prime photography for photo amateurs. Weighing approximately 346g and only 75mm in length, this compact full-frame lens combines portability with ultra-fast f/1.2 aperture. It delivers rich, distinctive bokeh at f/1.2 aperture, the 45mm focal length is closer to human vision than the typical 50mm for standard lenses, achieving natural perspective close to human vision for portraits, snapshots, and landscapes.
