Key Features

Benefits of a Full-Frame Sensor

The large imaging area provides approximately 2.5 times the light-gathering area of an APS-C sensor, supporting low-light work and the selective-focus look associated with pronounced foreground and background blur. Full-frame coverage also lets wide and ultra-wide RF lenses deliver their intended angle of view.

Autofocus and Control

Dual Pixel CMOS AF II offers up to 100% horizontal and 100% vertical automatic-selection coverage. People detection can target the upper torso, head, face or a selected eye; animal recognition supports dogs, cats, birds and horses; and vehicle detection is designed for motorsports cars, motorcycles, aircraft and trains, with helmet or cockpit spot-detection options.⁴ Register People Priority can place up to ten saved individuals ahead of other subjects when its requirements are met.⁵ A multi-controller joystick gives the photographer direct access to AF-point movement and menu navigation.

Ready for the Unpredictable

The electronic shutter reaches continuous speeds up to 40 fps,⁶ while pre-continuous shooting can preserve 20 images from approximately 0.5 second before full shutter-button depression. Compared with the original EOS R8, Canon states that uninterrupted 40 fps bursts hold 58% more JPEG frames and 30% more RAW frames, expanding the opportunity to follow action through a sequence.

Express Yourself

Sixteen Color Filters bring distinct looks to compatible photos and movies,⁷ including the deep color and strong contrast of Positive Filmtone and the nostalgic character of Negative Filmtone. Advanced A+ combines scene recognition, intelligent bracketing and processing, while Creative Bracketing generates alternate interpretations with changes such as brightness and color tone. Fourteen SCN presets provide automated starting points for subjects ranging from portraits and sports to panoramas, close-ups and handheld night scenes.

Tools for Hybrid Creation

Movie for close-up demos adjusts autofocus and automatic exposure for product showcases, reviews and livestream presentations.⁸ Slow and Fast mode creates slow-motion or accelerated results in camera with selected recording and playback rates. For color-managed work, Custom Picture offers Canon Log 3, Canon 709, PQ, HLG and BT.709 Standard, with Canon rating Canon Log 3 for up to approximately 14 stops of dynamic range under its stated settings.

Flexible Viewing and Connected Production

The approximately 2.36-million-dot OLED viewfinder provides 100% coverage and 0.70x magnification, complementing the touch-operated vari-angle LCD for unconventional viewpoints and self-facing work. Wireless transfer, remote control and app-based livestreaming are supported over 2.4 GHz and 5 GHz Wi-Fi, while Bluetooth Low Energy maintains a low-power connection with paired smartphones or a compatible remote. HDMI, Camera Connect and Live Switcher Mobile add more choices for connected production.
