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.
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.
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. The 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 prioritized to recognize faces, eyes, driver helmets, and more, ensuring your image is razor-sharp exactly where you need it to be.
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.
For a traditional shooting experience, a bright 2.36m-dot OLED EVF is provided. The EVF supports up to a 120 fps refresh rate and has been designed to provide a bright, sharp, and colorful 100% view of the subject at hand. When trying to compose from unusual angles, the large 3.0" 1.62m-dot vari-angle LCD touchscreen is an indispensable tool for previewing your frame. With touch and drag functionality, you can intuitively and swiftly move the autofocus point on the touch-panel LCD. The R8 Mark II features a USB-C port for charging and data transfer, a micro-HDMI port for video output, a stereo microphone input, and a stereo headphone output. Also incorporated is an E3-type remote port for wired control. Built-in Bluetooth and Wi-Fi connectivity let you easily connect the camera to compatible smart devices using the free Canon Camera Connect app for remote control and file transfer. It also sends continuously updated GPS location data from your phone, making it possible to add location metadata to your images.
