Tips
ISO
The R6 allows for Auto ISO with a minimum shutter speed setting, helping you avoid motion blur.
Aperture
You can set the aperture directly while shooting in Av mode using the front dial.
The Canon EOS R6 features in-body image stabilization (IBIS), allowing you to shoot handheld in low-light conditions without worrying about camera shake. This is especially useful for night or indoor photography where you might not want to increase your ISO.
Use the electronic viewfinder (EVF) to take advantage of the live histogram feature, which helps you assess exposure in real-time. This ensures that your images are neither too dark nor too bright.
The Canon EOS R6 has a fully articulating touchscreen, which makes it easy to shoot from creative angles, such as low to the ground or overhead, while still being able to see and adjust your composition.
Configure the customizable buttons on the Canon EOS R6 to quickly access your most-used settings. This can significantly speed up your workflow in manual mode, allowing you to focus on capturing the moment.
Take advantage of the Dual Pixel CMOS AF system for fast and accurate focus tracking, which is excellent for capturing moving subjects in street or sports photography.
