24.2MP Full-Frame Sensor and DIGIC X Processor
The combination of a 24.2MP full-frame CMOS sensor and DIGIC X processor provides sharp, vibrant images in various lighting situations. The camera supports an ISO range of 100-102400, expandable to 204800 for low-light conditions.

Dual Pixel CMOS AF II
Featuring 1053 autofocus points that cover the entire sensor, the Dual Pixel CMOS AF II system delivers fast and precise autofocus. It automatically detects and tracks subjects, such as people, animals, and vehicles, maintaining sharp focus throughout shooting and video capture. The autofocus system performs even in low-light conditions down to -6.5 EV.
HDR PQ and Canon Log 3
The EOS R8 records high-quality video right out of the camera, with options for HDR PQ or Canon Log 3 recording. HDR PQ captures 10-bit color files that require no additional editing and are compatible with HDR displays, such as TVs and smartphones, offering superior color accuracy and dynamic range. For advanced video editing, Canon Log 3 allows 10-bit log files to capture extensive highlight and shadow detail, perfect for creative color grading.
Vertical Movie Mode and Aspect Markers
You can set movie rotation data during or after recording, so videos can be displayed in vertical format for mobile viewing. Aspect Markers help creators frame videos for different aspect ratios, ensuring ideal composition for social media platforms.
Livestreaming
With UVC/UAC compatibility, the R8 can be used as a webcam to stream Full HD video via software like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, or Skype. Its full-frame sensor offers flexible exposure and shallow depth of field, especially when using fast aperture lenses for a professional look in video conferencing or streaming.
