Take the step into full-frame mirrorless performance with the new Canon EOS R8 Mirrorless Camera a compact full frame mirrorless with 24.2MP images and 4K 60p video in a lightweight camera body.
The Canon EOS R8 camera combines high performance full frame capabilities into a 461g lightweight and compact body. Experience 24.2 megapixels high quality imaging, fast shooting speeds of up to 40 frames per second and full width 4K 60p videos.
Capture moments in motion with 4K 60p (6K oversampling) movies. The rich blurring of full frame combined with uncropped video, allows you to make the most of the wide angle field of view. Create cinematic slow motion movies with Full HD 180p allowing playback 1/6th the speed.
High-quality Video Conferencing and Livestreaming
Simply connect via USB with Movie Class and Audio Class compatibility.
There are no additional drivers needed for downloading.
Photo/Moview Switching Lever
Quickly switch between photo and movie modes with a new dedicated
lever.
Automatically create summaries of the day’s activities with short movie clips generated into a short digest movie.
Shoot decisive moments with high speed at up to 40 frames per second. The electronic shutter generates no shutter noise, making it useful when shooting wildlife, concerts and other situations where you want to stay quiet and unnoticed.
0.5 second pre-shooting with RAW Burst up to 30 frames
The EOS R8 allows you to shoot RAW bursts of up to 30 frames per second with 0.5 second pre-shooting, helping you
capture the decisive moment in sharp focus even before you've pressed the button.
Capture scenes from 3 or 5 seconds before recording in video.
The EOS R8 supports tracking for a wide range of subjects, including humans, animals (dog, cat, bird, horse) and vehicles (car, motorcycle, train, aeroplane). It automatically responds to dynamically changing scenes, and can track subjects over the entire frame. The high performance subject tracking gives you the freedom to focus on composition.
Take advantage of the EOS R8's high sensitivity performance with normal ISO of 102400 for stills and 25600 for movies. Capture high quality images with minimal noise in dark setting or at night.
Create high definition images that are in focus from the front to the back of the picture such as macro subjects.
Fit more into your photo with panoramic mode. The panning direction can we set horizontally or vertically for high rise buildings.
Reproduce tone with a wide dynamic range even in situations with a large gap in brightness with moving subjects.
Enhance communication with the new generation multi-function shoe compatible with accessories such as the Speedlite EL-5 and Directional Stereo Microphone DM-E1D.
