Description
A lightweight and portable full-frame hybrid powerhouse, the Canon EOS R8 Mark II Mirrorless Camera bundles 7.5 stops of IBIS, improved burst shooting, a pre-capture mode, and intelligent autofocus into a redesigned compact body. Designed for travel-minded hybrid creators, the R8 Mark II is a powerful mobile production tool thanks to a 24.2 MP CMOS sensor that captures stunning still images and 6K oversampled 4K 60p 10-bit video.
High-Speed Electronic Shutter
Never miss the moment of peak action with the R8 Mark II thanks to high-speed burst shooting and the addition of pre-capture.
The R8 Mark II incorporates a pre-capture mode that begins recording images to the buffer when the shutter button is half-pressed. You can capture up to 20 frames within a half second, and the images will be saved upon fully pressing the shutter.
Up to 40 fps of continuous shooting is possible with improved buffer capacity over the original R8. Capture up to 73 shots uninterrupted when shooting RAW, a 30% increase, and 190 shots when shooting JPEG, a 55% increase.
Intelligent Autofocus
The Register People Priority autofocus function is an invaluable tool for weddings, lifestyle shoots, group portraits, and more. Once faces are registered in the camera, the autofocus can be set to prioritize individuals over other subjects in the scene. This ensures that your focus stays locked on the bride, lead model, or keynote speaker, not on random members of the audience.
Advanced Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system provides 100% frame coverage, allowing you to track subjects from edge to edge while maintaining razor-sharp focus.
Intelligent subject detection can be set to recognize people, animals, and vehicles for both still and video capture. Once set, focus can be prioritito recognize faces, eyes, driver helmets, and more, ensuring your image is razor-sharp exactly where you need it to be.
A low-luminance limit of -7.5 EV makes it possible to accurately focus in dark conditions such as concerts, clubs, and outdoor night shoots.
7.5 Stops of IBIS
Whether you’re trying to capture smooth handheld video or slow your shutter speed for long exposures, the R8 Mark II’s 5-axis image stabilization helps you capture exactly what you envisioned. The IBIS unit seamlessly combines with your lens to deliver 7.5 stops of shake correction at the center and 7 stops at the edges for still images.
Compact Video Powerhouse
Record stunning 6K-oversampled UHD 4K video at up to 60p with 10-bit color straight out of the camera for vlogs, content creation, travel videos, and more.
Capture slow-motion in Full HD at up to 180p to reveal minute details or create fast-motion timelapses to show the passage of time, all in-camera without complex post-production.
For advanced color grading needs, Canon Log 3 with 14 stops of dynamic range is available in the Custom Picture mode. Also featured are HDR video options, Canon 709, and BT.709 Standard for simpler workflows.
A red tally lamp is incorporated on the subject side of the camera, making it easy to recognize when movie recording is in progress.
