HO CHI MINH CITY, 13 May 2026 – Canon today announced a new content creation kit comprising the EOS R6 V, a new full-frame camera, and the accompanying RF20-50mm f/4L IS USM PZ, a first-ever full-frame professional-grade L-series lens that comes with a built-in power zoom.

The EOS R6 V possesses the powerful stills and video performance of the EOS R6 Mark III in a body that has been optimized for video content creation. The upgrades include a built-in cooling fan and social media content-friendly vertical tripod socket. Its full-frame CMOS sensor, with up to 32.5 effective megapixels and 7K Open Gate recording, allows users to utilise the full field of view of ultra-wide-angle lenses opening different possibilities.

The RF20-50mm f/4L IS USM PZ pairs effortlessly with the EOS R6 V, giving you a compact, travel-friendly setup that doesn't compromise on versatility. The 20–50mm zoom range covers everything from wide environmental shots to tighter conversational framing, while the built-in Power Zoom keeps transitions smooth and cinematic. With a constant f/4 aperture throughout, you get consistent, reliable exposure even as you zoom.

 “The EOS R6 V and RF20-50mm f/4L IS USM PZ form a content creation setup that maximizes expressive possibilities, providing creators with a comprehensive storytelling toolbox whether they are experienced with cameras or looking for one that gives room to grow, “said Imasaka Daido, General Director, Canon Marketing Vietnam.

One Take, Many Formats

The EOS R6 V features 7K Open Gate RAW/MP4 shooting, which records video via the entire sensor area. With this, the new camera offers creators more flexibility over what goes into the frame when repurposing horizontal content into a vertical format. Users achieve more creative control without having to do multiple shoots.

The EOS R6 V ‘s built-in cooling fan also allows users to record in 7K Open Gate MP4 for approximately three times longer when compared to the EOS R6 Mark III. This makes the EOS R6 V ideal for long interviews, live events, or long single takes.

The EOS R6 V is built natively for vertical content. A dedicated vertical tripod socket delivers direct, stable mounting without the need for an extra bracket, while the UI automatically reorientates to match — keeping the shooting experience seamless from start to finish. Its linear design with minimal protrusions also integrates cleanly with rigs, attachments and accessories.

Make Your Videos Dynamic 

Both the EOS R6 V and RF20-50mm f/4L IS USM PZ are compact and lightweight, making them easy to use while on the move. With built-in image stabilisation, they are also easy to use handheld or on a gimbal and rig.

The EOS R6 V’s built-in five-axis sensor-shift image stabilisation system (In-Body IS) and Digital Movie IS coordinate with the RF20-50mm f/4L IS USM PZ’s Optical IS to stabilise footage shot on the go. The setup also supports the Subject Tracking IS mode, which accounts for the subject position during stabilisation. The EOS R6 V retains a large, ergonomic grip that offers comfort and a stable hold during handheld shooting.

The RF20-50mm f/4L IS USM PZ’s 20mm wide-end is ideal for stunning, and perspective-rich establishment shots. These can show plenty of context, including stunning interior scenes. Additionally, its 50mm long end offers a 0.24m minimum focusing distance that captures close-up shots with a natural perspective. Users can make use of the zoom ring or the EOS R6 V’s zoom lever to zoom seamlessly from one end to the other in one smooth take. They can also vary the degree of ring/lever movement to alternate between two zoom speeds. Fast and slow zooming are configurable up to 15 levels each.

A new zoom mode selector switch enables switching between power zooming and the familiar manual zoom operations found on conventional zoom lenses. The lens barrel length does not change when zooming, so support systems will not require rebalancing.

Superior Stills

When placed in stills mode, the EOS R6 V shares the powerful performance of the EOS R6 Mark III and EOS C50. The high-resolution 32.5-megapixel full-frame sensor captures excellent detail and dynamic range, with ample allowance to crop in closer or produce 300 dpi A3-sized prints comfortably. The RF20-50mm f/4L IS USM PZ’s professional-grade optics are specially designed to combat distortion, chromatic aberration, flare and ghosting, thus ensuring high image quality.

The EOS R6 V’s electronic shutter supports up to 40 fps continuous shooting and pre-shooting, with identical autofocus features and capabilities as the EOS R6 Mark III. The In-Body IS achieves a stabilisation effect of up to 7.5 stops at the centre and 7.0 stops at the image edges (1) when shooting stills. The RF20-50mm f/4L IS USM PZ performs extremely well when shooting in low light, with its built-in Optical IS correcting camera shake by up to 6 stops’ equivalent (2). When mounted on an EOS R series camera with In-Body IS, it achieves an effect of up to 8.0 stops at the centre and 8.0 stops at the edges. (3)

Capture Yourself Effortlessly

The EOS R6 V and RF20-50mm f/4L IS USM PZ allow creators to film themselves easily. The former has a front recording button and tally lamp that lights up when recording is in progress, and the latter’s zoom ring is easily accessible from the front. Users requiring remote camera and zoom control can achieve them via the Camera Connect app. Another alternative that users can consider is the new Wireless Remote Control BR-E2, which allows for creative camera placement.

The Bluetooth-connected Wireless Remote Control BR-E2 offers users greater control over both still and video shooting functions compared to its predecessor (Wireless Remote Shutter BR-E1), including a dedicated movie shooting button and assignable functions. It comes included with the new Tripod Grip HG-200TBR, a portable tripod grip that can function as a desktop tripod and a selfie stick.

Powerful and Cost-Efficient Duo

The EOS R6 V and RF20-50mm f/4L IS USM PZ integrate many of Canon’s powerful features, making them an excellent, cost-efficient combination that deliver lasting value across shoots. Built for advanced filmmaking workflows, the EOS R6 V supports Canon Log 2/3, Custom Picture, custom LUT, waveform monitor display, 4-channel audio recording and a standard HDMI Type-A terminal. For creative expression, Color Filters and S&F (Slow & Fast Motion) mode give filmmakers intuitive tools to craft their visual style.

Compact and lightweight at just approx. 98.4mm and approx. 420g, the RF20-50mm f/4L IS USM PZ delivers outstanding optical performance on par with — if not better than — the popular RF24-105mm f/4L IS USM. Versatile constant aperture and unique video-centric features like power zooming make it a capable tool for any creative workflow, while the dust- and drip-resistant build ensures it holds up wherever the shot takes you.
