Internally, it is capable of high-quality 4K 60p video oversampled from 6K, and High Frame Rate video up to Full HD 180p, in addition to Canon Log 3 and HDR PQ video.
With improved heat management, unlimited continuous recording of 4K 30p is now possible.
An alternative Quick Control screen that resembles those on Cinema EOS cameras provides an intuitive interface for users using the EOS R6 Mark II alongside the Cinema EOS system.

Canon’s first professional 135mm prime lens for the RF mount is also currently the only 135mm lens in the market to be equipped with built-in optical image stabilisation with up to 5.5 stops.
When combined with a compatible camera, it can achieve up to 8 stops of image stabilisation via Coordinated Control IS.
Despite this new inclusion, it weighs only approximately 935g—lighter than some lenses with similar specifications but without image stabilisation.
