Canon R6 recording limit (29:59)

Canon’s manual states the maximum recording time per movie for normal movies.

Direct answer

• Non-High Frame Rate: maximum 29 min 59 sec per movie.

How to work around it (steps)

1. Start recording normally.
2. Set a phone/watch timer for 29:30 so you’re ready to restart before the cap.
3. When you hit the limit, the clip ends. Press Record again to start a new clip.
4. For important events, do a quick rehearsal: record a 2–3 minute test clip, confirm audio levels, then commit.

What it means in practice

For interviews/events, plan your recording around clip restarts. Heat, battery, power options, and card speed can also affect practical runtime.
