Meet the EOS 6D with Wi-Fi
capabilities
Canon releases the new EOS 6D, which the
company claims is “the world’s lightest full-frame DSLR” equipped with a 20.2
megapixel CMOS sensor with precision 11-point AF system. Additionally, Canon
also included built-in Wi-Fi and GPS support for those who wants to stay
connected.
In
many ways the Canon EOS 6D is the Canon's first true enthusiast level
full-frame digital camera
“Innovation and quality have always been the
two very important characteristics of Canon. The powerful Canon EOS 6D is a
‘must-have’ with its upgraded imaging processor, the DIGIC 5+, which performs
up to three times faster than the DIGIC 5, being amongst its notable new
features! Another first with this launch is the new iOS and Android app, known
as the EOS Remote, takes further advantage of the EOS 6D’s Wi-Fi capabilities.
In linking the camera to these apps, it allows the iOS and Android devices to
control the EOS 6D,” says Simon Wong, Director of Imaging Communication
Products Division, Canon Marketing (Malaysia) Sdn Bhd.
According to Canon Marketing Malaysia, the
EOS 6D is now available at all Canon Authorized dealers, retailing at $2,049
(for the body only) while the EOS 6D with EF24-105 lens kit is retailing at
$2,754. Also arriving in Malaysia in December is the EOS 6D with EF24-70 lens kit,
which is priced at $3,314
With a full-frame sensor that is equivalent
to a 35mm film, it can maximize the full potential of visual data that has been
captured by lenses designed for 35mm cameras. The full-frame CMOS sensor
captures more light per pixel than smaller sensors, offering a wider dynamic
range that has remarkably low noise even when taking pictures at high ISO
speeds. It even offers a speedy continuous picture snapping rate of 4.5 frames
per second.
For
those who want only the camera functions, there is also a 6D variant model
without built-in Wi-Fi and GPS support
Other features include HDR Backlight
Control mode, which is used to composite three shots taken at low, mid and high
exposures into one main image to produce better picture quality. There is also
Multiple Exposure Shots function that is designed to take up to nine photos
that is then merged into one single image. This function is done to capture
motion effects such as illustrating action sequences.

Then, following the latest camera trend,
the EOS 6D also has Wi-Fi capabilities, which lets it connect to wireless
networks, giving it the ability to transfer data to PCs and smartphones and
even print photos with PictBridge-enabled (DPS over IP) wireless printers.
The
EOS 6D also has Wi-Fi capabilities
Debuting with the EOS 6D is iOS and Android
based EOS Remote app. When paired with the Wi-Fi system of the camera, it can
be remotely controlled via the iOS and Android device. Even the screen of the
smart device can double up as the camera’s live view screen. As for
functionality, the EOS Remote lets users change shooting modes, adjust the
focus, and of course, snap a photo or record a video. They also can download
images to iOS and Android devices and use these devices to view, organize and
manage images on the camera.
