Lightweight Content Creator
The Canon EOS R8 is a full-frame mirrorless camera that weighs only about 461g but packs a powerful punch with high performance. This is the ideal content creation tool for budding photographers and videographers who need something powerful yet portable and future-proof.
Through the 6K oversampling process that employs the debayer algorithm used in the CINEMA EOS System, the EOS R8 produces stunning 4K quality videos even at 60p. Enjoy improved video clarity and noise reduction over native 4K recordings.
Canon EOS R8 offers flexible 8-bit and YCbCr 4:2:2 10-bit options for casual content creators and professionals who need post-production colour adjustments.
Use HDR PQ to record HDR-compatible movies with high brightness, wide gradation, and wide colour gamut without colour grading or simply use a Picture Style preset to simplify your workflow further.
Canon Log 3 can permit richer colour expression, even in high-contrast scenes, if you prefer greater colour control in post-production.
Add some flair to your videos by recording in 180p at Full High Definition (FHD). Complete your storytelling with some cinematic slow-motion effect (up to 6x slower when playback at 30p).
Determine the exposure level of the recording by using this function. This will enable you to make adjustments that will prevent underexposure or overexposure in your videos.
Zebra Patterns are displayed on areas where brightness meets and/or exceeds a preset level, letting you quickly spot any potential overexposure and make adjustments before highlights get clipped.
The camera's angle of view changes slightly during focus racking while recording video, causing an annoying 'pulsing' effect in the footage. The EOS R8 corrects this automatically when a compatible lens is used, ensuring a smooth and natural result consistently.
Achieve steady handheld footages every time, even when using a lens without IS. Movie Digital IS provides five-axis stabilisation to reduce the effects of camera shake.
When paired with an RF lens with IS, coordinated control is performed to enhance the stabilisation further.
EOS R8 supports USB Video Class (UVC) and USB Audio Class (UAC), allowing it to be used as a high quality webcam simply by plug and play using a USB cable. Stand out from the crowd with high quality video and audio in your livestreams or online meetings.
With the EOS 8’s Pre-recording feature, you hardly ever miss any unexpected moments. Choose between 3 or 5 seconds of pre-recording to get the amount of extra footage you want before hitting the record button.
Now, you can make a video for the day without having to record anything. Before you take a photo, the Hybrid Auto Mode will automatically record approximately 2-4 seconds of footage. A short film in 30p is automatically generated by compiling all the short clips and images taken on the same day.
Use the Aspect Marker feature to create content that are tailor-made for your preferred social network. Visual indicators are visible based on the selected aspect ratio, making framing during shooting a breeze.
Blazing Speed
Autofocus speeds as fast as 0.03 seconds make it possible to focus in the blink of an eye. In addition to its high-precision AF/AE system, the EOS R8 can shoot at up to 40fps in electronic shutter mode and 6fps in electronic first curtain shutter mode with AF/AE tracking enabled.
The 40fps silent burst is useful in situations that require silence, such as live performances or wildlife photography.
Get high-quality images with lesser noise with EOS R8’s 24.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor coupled with the latest DIGIC X image processor.
With a low light sensitivity that goes up to EV -6.5 and an ISO that goes up to 102,400, you can capture stunning images even when working in difficult lighting conditions.
In HDR mode, your camera is capable of capturing photos with a greater dynamic range of light up to approx. 3000 nits. Under the Dynamic Range Priority setting, the camera will take three shots at varying exposures and merge them into a single (HDR) photograph.
With the new Moving Subject Priority HDR mode, you can get an HDR image with just one shot instead of the usual three, making it ideal for shooting subjects on the move.
While you concentrate on framing the shot perfectly, the EOS iTR AF X (Intelligent Tracking & Recognition Autofocus) will automatically detect and track moving subjects.
See how well the camera follows the eye, head or body when the subject moves, changes positions or even when partially obscured.
Additionally, you can choose which eye to track with the help of Left/Right Eye Priority Tracking on the EOS R8.
Focusing on animals is never easy, due to their unpredictable behaviour. The Animal Priority AF eliminates this challenge and lets you focus solely on your creativity.
