What type of memory cards does the EOS R6 V use?

What is the difference between 4K 60p and 4K 120p recording?
4K 60p records at 60 frames per second, suitable for smooth video. 4K 120p records at 120 frames per second, which can be slowed down in post-production to create smooth slow-motion effects while maintaining high resolution.
Is this camera good for still photography as well?
Yes, with its 32.5MP sensor and fast 40fps burst shooting, it is also a capable hybrid camera for high-quality still photography.
Troubleshooting
Camera not powering on
Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Check if the battery compartment cover is securely closed. Try a different battery if available.
SD card not recognized
Ensure the SD card is inserted correctly and is compatible. Format the card using the camera's menu system (this will erase all data on the card). Try a different SD card.
Autofocus is slow or inaccurate
Check that the correct autofocus mode and area are selected for your subject. Ensure the lens contacts are clean. Update the camera's firmware if an update is available.
Video files are corrupted or won't play
Ensure you are using a sufficiently fast SD card (UHS-II is recommended for high-bitrate video). Ensure the camera did not lose power during recording. Try to playback the footage on a computer with up-to-date video editing software.
Overheating during extended video recording
Reduce recording resolution or frame rate. Ensure the camera has adequate ventilation and is not exposed to direct sunlight. Allow the camera to cool down between long recording sessions. Refer to the manual for specific recording limits at different settings.
