24.2MP Full-Frame Sensor and DIGIC X Processing

The Canon R8 is a powerhouse, combining a formidable full-frame 24.2MP CMOS sensor with the DIGIC X image processor to deliver stunning high-resolution images brimming with accurate and vibrant colors. Designed to excel in various lighting conditions, it offers an adaptable ISO range of 100-102400, expandable to ISO 204800 for challenging environments. This versatile camera not only excels in photography but also in videography, supporting 6K oversampled UHD 4K video recording at 60p and Full HD 1080 video at 180p for captivating slow-motion playback. Additionally, it provides 4:2:2 10-bit shooting and extended video recording time of up to 2 hours at 29.97 fps, ensuring seamless project continuity. With a remarkable ability to capture high-speed bursts at up to 40 fps, along with a unique pre-shooting feature, the Canon R8 is a game-changer for both photographers and videographers alike.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF II

The Canon R8 reveals an advanced Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system, with a broad array of 1053 automatic AF points covering the entire sensor area. This setup allows for exceptionally quick and accurate focusing. The phase-detection system excels at detecting and tracking subjects, intelligently recognizing people, animals, and vehicles. It smoothly locks onto these subjects, ensuring consistent and sharp focus during rapid bursts and video recording. Additionally, the autofocus system performs remarkably well in low-light conditions, achieving accurate focusing even in dark environments with an impressive limit of -6.5 EV.

HDR PQ and Canon Log 3

Though the EOS R8 camera can record impressive video straight out of the camera, content creators looking to take the next step in their imaging journey have the choice of two powerful video recording options HDR PQ or Canon Log 3 video recording. With HDR PQ recording a 10-bit color file is recorded that does not require additional editing. This 10-bit HDR file is compatible with HDR displays such as TVs, monitors, and smartphones, which display your video with even more color accuracy and dynamic range than standard displays. For creators who like to edit their video files, Canon Log 3 is also available, creating a 10-bit log file that allows for powerful recovery of highlights and shadows as well as creative color grading capability.

Vertical Movie Mode and Aspect Markers

Movie rotation information can be set during or after movie recording, allowing videos to be played in vertical composition when viewing on a smartphone. The Aspect Markers function displays visual markers for different aspect ratios that may be desired for posting the same file to various social media sites. This display provides consideration for proper composition for the different deliverable files that can be created when editing.

Livestreaming

UVC/UAC compatibility allows the R8 to be used as a web camera to stream live video in Full HD, without additional computer software, to applications such as Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Skype, and similar video conferencing software. Thanks to the full-frame image sensor, you'll be able to have versatility in your exposure, as well as strong background separation when using bright aperture lenses for video conferencing or live streaming content.

Movie Digital IS

Record stable videos efficiently with minimum equipment, even when shooting handheld, with Movie Digital IS 5-axis image stabilization. Camera-shake vibrations are reduced even more through coordinated control of Movie Digital IS when using an RF lens featuring optical image stabilization.
