Canon R6 II Sports Indoor Artificial Settings
The Key Setting
The Canon R6 Mark II shoots 40 frames per second with full autofocus in electronic shutter mode. Most R6 Mark II owners shoot at the default continuous high speed of 12 frames per second because they never explored the drive mode menu beyond the first option. High Speed Continuous Plus — the 40 frames per second mode — is found by pressing the drive mode button and scrolling past the standard continuous options to the last selection. At 40 frames per second across a one second burst the camera produces 40 frames of a single action sequence. The peak moment — the ball leaving the hand, the foot connecting, the expression at maximum effort — exists in that sequence. At 12 frames per second it may fall between frames. At 40 frames per second it cannot. Enable High Speed Continuous Plus before every indoor sports session and let the camera's buffer work for you. Storage management becomes part of the workflow — 40 frames per second fills cards quickly — but the keeper rate from peak action moments increases dramatically.

"Forty frames per second. The peak moment exists somewhere in that sequence. The operator who specified before raising the camera finds it. The operator who adjusts during the action does not. Specify. Pursue. Review. The moment was captured before you knew it happened."
