Full-Frame Performance in a Compact Body

24.2 Megapixel Full-Frame Sensor

The EOS R8 Mark II features a 24.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS image sensor designed to deliver fine detail, rich tones, natural background blur and strong high-ISO performance with low digital noise.

Up to 7.5 Stops of Image Stabilization

Built-in 5-axis image stabilization helps reduce camera shake when working handheld. With compatible lenses, coordinated stabilization provides up to 7.5 stops of correction at the center of the image and up to 7.0 stops at the periphery for still photography.

Natural Full-Frame Bokeh

The large full-frame sensor makes it easier to create pronounced background and foreground blur, helping subjects stand out with greater depth and separation.

Strong Low-Light Performance

The full-frame sensor offers approximately 2.5 times the light-gathering area of an APS-C sensor, helping produce well-lit images with less noise when available light is limited.

Focusing on Focus

100% Area Coverage

Dual Pixel CMOS AF II provides autofocus coverage across the full frame, allowing the camera to track moving subjects throughout the image area.

Register People Priority

Register specific people in advance so the autofocus system can prioritize those individuals when multiple subjects are present in the scene.

People Detection

The autofocus system can recognize a person's upper torso, head, face and eyes, including the ability to prioritize the left eye, right eye or the eye closest to the camera.

Animal Detection

Subject detection is designed to recognize dogs, cats, birds and horses while prioritizing the eyes, face or entire body.

Vehicle Detection

The EOS R8 Mark II can recognize motorsports cars, motorcycles, aircraft and trains, with spot detection options for areas such as driver or rider helmets and vehicle cockpits.

Multi-Controller Joystick

A dedicated Multi-controller joystick provides quick, ergonomic navigation and easier control of autofocus positioning.

Ready for the Unpredictable

Up to 40 fps Continuous Shooting

Electronic shutter mode provides continuous shooting at up to 40 frames per second, giving you the speed needed to capture fast and unpredictable action.

Pre-Continuous Shooting

Capture up to 20 images from the half-second before the shutter button is fully pressed, helping preserve moments that happen faster than you can react.

Improved RAW Burst Capacity

At 40 frames per second, uninterrupted RAW shooting increases from 56 images on the EOS R8 to 73 images on the EOS R8 Mark II.

Improved JPEG Burst Capacity

JPEG continuous shooting capacity increases from 120 images on the EOS R8 to 190 images on the EOS R8 Mark II when shooting at 40 frames per second.

Video Performance

Full-Width 4K 60p

Capture uncropped UHD 4K video at up to 60p for high-resolution footage with the full width of the sensor.

Full HD 180p

Record Full HD video at frame rates up to 180p for dramatic high-frame-rate footage and slow-motion playback.

Close-Up Product Autofocus

Dedicated autofocus options support close-up product demonstrations, livestreams and reviews, helping the camera transition focus as subjects are presented to the lens.

Slow & Fast Mode

Create slow-motion footage or fast-motion sequences directly in-camera with control over playback speed, reducing the need for additional post-production.

Canon Log 3

Custom Picture mode includes Canon Log 3 with up to 14 stops of dynamic range, along with HDR PQ, HLG, Canon 709 and BT.709 Standard options for greater flexibility in post-production.

Front Tally Lamp

A red tally lamp on the front of the camera makes it easy for the subject to see when video recording is in progress.
