Canon EOS M6 Mark II, 1/2000 sec, f/2.8, 22mm, ISO 100

If you’ve ever been to sports outings and events, you are probably familiar with how energetic, vibrant and fast-paced most of them are. Trying to get crystal clear images can be an uphill task, on top of the frustration and disappointment that come with missing a crucial moment when you take yet another blurry shot.

Canon’s new EOS M6 Mark II is an approximately 32.5MP mirrorless camera equipped to help you capture the precise moment that your friend executes a volleyball spike. Even if you’ve never tried your hand at capturing live sports action, the Canon EOS M6 Mark II makes it easy for you to get started with a range of useful photography and videography features -- all while looking sleek and stylish!

Achieving Focus is a Breeze

With the Dual Pixel CMOS AF, autofocus (AF) is fast and precise with an extensive AF area of up to 88% x 100% when you pair the EOS M6 Mark II with a compatible lens. This makes all the difference in getting a clear shot during a fast game of basketball, where you can still achieve focus accurately even when you see the player dribbling to the edge of your camera screen. Having up to 5,481 selectable AF positions or maximum 143 segments (during Face + Tracking AF) also offer you greater flexibility in composing your shots as you can choose to focus on almost anywhere on your screen.

The EOS M6 Mark II also has a brand new RAW burst mode that allows you to shoot continuously for up to 30 fps. Not only can you capture the perfect sporting moment in RAW, you’ll also enjoy greater flexibility during post-processing to enhance your photographs even further. In fact, when you have Pre-shooting enabled, the camera starts recording around 0.5 seconds before you even click the shutter button! Crystallise the exact moment that someone sends a shuttlecock sailing through the air.

Enhanced Flexibility with a Viewfinder

Shooting outdoor sports events can be difficult when the bright sunlight casts reflections and glares on your LCD screen. A viewfinder lets you concentrate on focusing on your fast-moving subject to capture that crucial sporting victory. You can use the Canon EOS M6 Mark II with the external EVF-DC2 viewfinder (sold separately), which provides an intricate and accurate display through a whopping 2.36 million dots. With a near 100% coverage, what you see in the EVF is practically what you’ll get in your actual shot! Have your photographs turn out just the way you’ve imagined.

Together with the Touch & Drag AF function, you can refine your shots and adjust your point of focus quickly and intuitively via touchscreen while looking through the EVF.
