How Shutr Scout tailors settings to your EOS 6D

  • Because the EOS 6D has a full-frame sensor, so there is no crop factor and you get the shallowest depth of field at any given aperture, Shutr Scout factors that into depth-of-field guidance and how it balances aperture against shutter and ISO.
  • Without in-body stabilization, Shutr Scout leans toward faster shutter speeds hand-held to keep your shots sharp.
  • Its autofocus is phase or contrast autofocus without subject detection, so Shutr Scout uses the right focus mode and area for what you are shooting.
  • It knows the body's native ISO ceiling (25,600) and fastest shutter (1/4000s), so it never recommends a setting your EOS 6D cannot actually use.

Popular lenses for the EOS 6D

The EOS 6D uses the Canon EF mount. A few widely loved options to grow into, whichever you choose, Shutr Scout tailors settings to the exact lens you tell it you are using:

  • EF 50mm f/1.8 STM – the classic affordable fast prime
  • EF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM – versatile everyday zoom
  • EF 24-70mm f/2.8L II USM – pro standard zoom for low light

The settings themselves come from your light, not a chart

A cheat sheet gives everyone the same numbers. Shutr Scout measures the actual light in front of you and combines it with your EOS 6D, your lens, and your priorities to hand you a complete recipe, camera mode, shutter, aperture, ISO, autofocus, drive, white balance and more, that you can dial in and shoot. Too bright or too dark? One tap adjusts it while keeping your look.
