Does Canon R6 Mark II work with Canon RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM?

What works & limitations

• Native RF-mount with 12-pin electronic interface — full bandwidth communication between the R6 Mark II and RF 24-105mm L, including IS coordination data, lens distortion profiles, and EXIF recording at every zoom position
• Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with 100% frame AF coverage — phase-detect AF cells cover the full sensor area, enabling subject acquisition from any frame position at all 24–105mm focal lengths
• Subject tracking AF covers: human face and eye, animal (dog, cat, bird), vehicle (car, motorcycle, airplane, train, bus) — all subject types tracked reliably at all apertures from f/4 to f/22 at 40fps burst
• Optical IS coordinates with R6 Mark II IBIS — Canon rates the combined stabilization at up to 8 stops (CIPA standard at 105mm), verified in Canon lab tests; real-world performance of 6–7 stops is typical for handheld video
• Nano USM autofocus motor provides smooth, continuous AF during 4K60p C-Log 3 video recording — AF transition speed and response can be adjusted in the R6 Mark II's AF menu from Slow to Fast across 7 steps
• Constant f/4 aperture across the full 24–105mm zoom range — consistent exposure when zooming during video; important for maintaining exposure in auto-ISO or manual-ISO video workflows
• Digital Lens Optimizer (DLO) aberration corrections apply automatically using Canon's per-focal-length optical database — reduces chromatic aberration, diffraction, and distortion in-camera for JPEGs and via Canon DPP 4.x for RAW files
• The RF 24-105mm f/4L IS USM is weather-sealed with 12 sealing points on the lens barrel — Canon rates the combination with the R6 Mark II's dust and drip-resistant body as appropriate for professional outdoor work in light rain; not rated for submersion or heavy spray
• Canon's IS Servo AF mode (smooth subject tracking with IS active during video recording) is available exclusively with native RF lenses — this mode prevents IS from causing viewfinder wobble during subject tracking pans; it cannot be activated when using adapted EF lenses via the EF-EOS R adapter
• Canon also produces the RF 24-105mm f/4-7.1 IS STM as a lighter, less expensive alternative — 395g versus 700g for the f/4L; the STM version lacks the constant f/4 aperture, L-class weather sealing, and full-speed Dual Pixel AF performance of the f/4L; it is not an equivalent substitute for professional use
• The R6 Mark II's Animal AF with this lens at 105mm can reliably track birds with a wingspan below 1m at distances up to approximately 10m in good light — for frame-filling shots at longer distances, 300mm or longer focal lengths are needed; the 105mm end is viable for habitat shots where the bird occupies a significant portion of the frame
