Canon EOS R8 Mark II system camera

Canon EOS R8 Mark II system camera

The Canon EOS R8 Mark II is a full-frame mirrorless camera body designed for RF lenses. It is suitable for both demanding photography and video production, where the aim is high image quality, fast response times and a compact, portable body.

Speed and focus on moving subjects

Silent 40 fps continuous shooting and Pre-Continuous Shoot pre-recording help you capture the moment even before you press the shutter button. Dual Pixel CMOS AF II utilises Deep Learning technology to recognise people, animals and vehicles, assisting with focusing and tracking.

Robust video features

The camera records 4K 60P video internally and also offers Full HD 180P slow-motion video. CLog 3, 10-bit recording, False Colour and Waveform display provide tools for managing colour and exposure, and UVC live streaming is possible via a USB cable at up to 4K 60P .

Usability and creative colour modes

The redesigned body offers a better grip, a joystick and two dials. The built-in 5-axis image stabiliser is effective up to 7.5 stops, whilst customisable film simulations and Nightscape modes offer ready-made options for the look of your images.

Main features

• The full-frame 24.2-megapixel sensor delivers a wide angle of view and controlled depth of field when used with RF lenses.
• The built-in 5-axis image stabiliser supports handheld photography with up to 7.5 stops of compensation.
• Silent continuous shooting at 40 frames per second and a 20-frame buffer help you capture fast-moving scenes.
• Dual Pixel CMOS AF II tracks people, dogs, cats, birds, horses and vehicles.
• The ‘Register People Priority’ function allows you to register people in the camera’s memory so that the focus can be prioritised on them during events.
• 4K 60P video recording, CLog 3 and 10-bit recording support both basic and more advanced video workflows.
• Customisable Filmtone simulations and the five Nightscape colour presets also work with JPG images and video.
