Canon EOS R8 Mark II — Built for the Way You Actually Shoot
The Canon EOS R8 Mark II refreshes the EOS R8 with a new compact design, built-in
5-axis image stabilisation and a collection of creative and autofocus features
aimed at both photographers and hybrid creators.
Its 24.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor, Dual Pixel CMOS AF II, up to 40fps electronic
shooting and 4K 60p video make it a versatile platform for travel, portraits,
events, action, YouTube and everyday content creation. Canon lists the camera at
approximately 546g including battery and memory card.

Eight Features That Matter Beyond the Specification Sheet
The EOS R8 Mark II is more than a 24.2MP full-frame camera. Its value comes from
the way stabilisation, autofocus, burst shooting, creative controls, video tools
and connectivity work together in a relatively compact EOS R body.
01 / Image Quality
24.2MP Full-Frame Imaging
The EOS R8 Mark II uses a 24.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor paired with Canon’s
DIGIC X processor. The full-frame format provides a wider field of view than APS-C
at the same focal length and gives photographers greater control over depth of field.
Canon specifies a still-image ISO range of 100–102,400, expandable to ISO 204,800.
That makes the camera relevant for portraits, travel, events, landscapes and
everyday photography where light can change quickly.

02 / Stabilisation
5-Axis In-Body Image Stabilisation
The EOS R8 Mark II adds a built-in 5-axis In-Body Image Stabilizer. When paired
with a compatible RF lens featuring optical stabilisation, Canon’s Coordinated
Control IS combines the two systems for up to 7.5 stops of stabilisation at the
centre and up to 7 stops at the peripheral area under Canon’s stated conditions.
This can be especially useful for handheld travel photography, low-light shooting,
long-exposure work and steadier video when carrying a tripod is not practical.
Stabilisation performance varies according to the lens, focal length and shooting
conditions. The maximum figure should not be treated as a universal result for every setup.
conditions. The maximum figure should not be treated as a universal result for every setup.
03 / Speed
Up to 40fps — Plus Pre-Continuous Shooting
With its electronic shutter, the EOS R8 Mark II can shoot at up to 40 frames per
second. This gives photographers a rapid sequence when the decisive moment is
difficult to predict.
Pre-Continuous Shooting can save up to 20 frames before the shutter button is fully
pressed. The camera can record those frames in RAW, C-RAW, HEIF or JPEG, giving
photographers a practical buffer around unpredictable movement.

04 / Autofocus
Dual Pixel CMOS AF II with Deep-Learning Subject Detection
Dual Pixel CMOS AF II tracks recognised subjects across stills and video. Canon’s
Deep Learning AF can recognise people, animals and vehicles and follow faces,
eyes, heads and bodies as subjects move through the frame.
Canon specifies autofocus down to EV -7.5 under its stated conditions, while the
camera provides up to 1053 AF frame zones for broad-area subject tracking.

05 / People Photography
Register People Priority for Crowded Scenes
When several people are visible in a scene, Register People Priority allows you
to register selected people in advance so the camera can prioritise that person
during autofocus tracking.
It can be particularly useful for weddings, events, family photography, group
scenes and situations where the photographer needs to keep one person as the
primary subject.
Practical use: register a subject before
the action begins, then let the camera help maintain priority when the scene becomes busy.

06 / Creative Control
Creative Colour, Night and In-Camera Looks
The EOS R8 Mark II adds a broader set of tools for creators who want to establish
a visual style directly in camera. The feature set includes 16 Colour Filters,
including the new NegativeFilmtone and PositiveFilmtone options, plus Handheld
Night Scene, Cinema View, Background Blur, Defocus and LUT support.

4K 60p with 6K Oversampling
The EOS R8 Mark II records 4K 60p footage oversampled from 6K data under applicable
recording conditions. This provides a detailed 4K starting point for creator,
commercial, travel and hybrid video work.
Video creators also get Full HD high-frame-rate recording, Movie Digital IS with
an Enhance+ mode for additional stabilisation, AF for Close-Up Demo, Canon Log 3,
