High Image Quality Featuring a 24.2 Megapixel Full-Frame CMOS Sensor
The EOS R8 camera captures stunning, detailed images with speed and
accuracy, even in low light, due to the Canon-developed 24.2-million-pixel CMOS
image sensor and DIGIC X Image Processor. The full-frame sensor allows for
improved resolution at low ISO speeds and low noise at high ISO speeds, wide
dynamic range of still pictures, and significant improvement in rolling shutter
compared to previous Canon cameras when shooting fast-moving subjects and quick
panning.
In-Camera Compositing
With its built-in image processing, the EOS R8 camera provides in-camera
compositing including Moving Subject HDR, Depth Compositing, Panoramic Shot, HDR
Night Scene, and HDR Backlight control so you can capture creative imagery that
is challenging with conventional single-shot techniques.
High-Speed, High-Precision Autofocus
Dual Pixel CMOS AF II is a highly responsive system that covers up to
approximately 100% x 100% of the picture area, breaking the image into up to
1,053 automatically-selected AF zones during Whole Area AF. This enables
outstanding AF coverage on the EOS R8 camera, and the compositional freedom to
focus sharply on a subject nearly anywhere in the frame.
Accurate Subject Detection and Tracking
Developed using Deep Learning Technology, horses, trains, and airplanes are
detectable, in addition to conventional subjects like people, animals including
dogs, cats and birds, and vehicles " cars and motorcycles " especially in a
motorsports environment. For more ease of use, Auto mode is now available, in
which the camera automatically selects the type of subject without the need to
switch the Subject Detection setting in the menu. The EOS R8 camera will
continue to track the movement and continuously focus on the subject.
Animal Detection
Effectively track the whole body, face, or eye of cats, dogs, birds, and now
horses, for speed and precision " regardless of the animals size, posture, or
orientation of the face.
Head, Face, and Eye Detection
The EOS R8 camera can locate and focus upon a persons head, face, or eye
when the Subject Detection menu is set to People. This allows for more ease of
use, fast acquisition of your subject, and improvements to accuracy when
capturing videos or still images, even in difficult shooting situations where
many cameras may struggle to detect a subject. Additional control is now
available for detecting the subjects left or right eye " which can be also
programmed to a Custom Button making it easy to focus on the preferred eye in
the moment.
Ample Features for Video Creators
With video recording features such as 6K oversampled uncropped 4K movie at
up to 60 fps, Full-HD High-frame rate movie recording at up to 180 fps, and Dual
Pixel CMOS AF tracking, the EOS R8 camera makes it easy to step up your video
content.
Continuous Movie Recording That Exceeds 30 Minutes

2 hours at 29.97 fps, allowing you to set up your video and keep your project
rolling without worrying about it stopping.
HDR PQ / Canon Log 3
Though the EOS R8 camera can record impressive video straight out of camera,
content creators looking to take the next step in their imaging journey have the
choice of two powerful video recording options in HDR PQ or Canon Log 3 video
recording. With HDR PQ recording a 10bit color file is recorded that does not
require additional editing, this 10bit 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 available, creating a 10bit log file
which allows for powerful recovery of highlights and shadows as well as creative
color grading capability.
UVC Livestreaming
UVC/UAC compatibility allows the EOS R8 camera 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 software7. Thanks to the full-frame image sensor, youll be able to
have versatility in your exposure, as well as strong background separation when
using bright aperture lenses for video conferencing, or livestreaming content.
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.
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 a RF lens featuring optical image stabilization.
