Canon fans are eagerly awaiting the announcement of a new product. This time, we introduce the features we hope to see in the rumored new product, the 'EOS R6 Mark III'.

Tiltable EVF at Right Angles

One of the highlights is Canon's development of a tiltable EVF (Electronic Viewfinder) that can tilt at right angles. This feature allows for easy framing when shooting from low angles or difficult positions. Panasonic has already adopted this successfully, so it's exciting to see when Canon will introduce it.

Improved Cooling Performance

Next, Canon is working on improving cooling performance. The 'EOS R5' had issues with overheating when shooting 8K video. Canon has filed several patents for new cooling technologies. Notably, sensor cooling technology compatible with IBIS (In-Body Image Stabilization) and accessory grips for cooling the camera are expected to solve overheating issues during high-resolution video shooting.

Enhanced Eye-Controlled AF

Canon is also improving its eye-controlled AF technology, which allows camera focus to be controlled by eye movement. Canon has filed patents to enhance the precision of this technology, making it more user-friendly in the future. This will make selecting focus points more intuitive and shooting more enjoyable.

Haptic Feedback

In cameras equipped with a fully electronic shutter, the feeling of pressing the shutter can sometimes be lacking. Canon is considering technology that provides haptic feedback when pressing the shutter. This will ensure that actions like taking a shot or navigating menus feel more tangible.

Built-in ND Filter

Lastly, Canon is developing built-in ND filter technology. This feature is especially useful for videographers and portrait photographers, allowing for flexible adjustment of shutter speed and aperture in bright environments, enabling diverse scene shooting. It's an essential element for achieving smooth motion in video shooting. The new technologies introduced here are all highly anticipated for practical use. Let's keep an eye on the rumors about the new product, hoping these features will be implemented in the 'EOS R6 Mark III'!
