• The R8 Mark II incorporates a pre-capture mode that begins recording images to the buffer when the shutter button is half-pressed. You can capture up to 20 frames within a half second, and the images will be saved upon fully pressing the shutter.
• Up to 40 fps of continuous shooting is possible with improved buffer capacity over the original R8. Capture up to 73 shots uninterrupted when shooting RAW, a 30% increase, and 190 shots when shooting JPEG, a 55% increase.

• Intelligent subject detection can be set to recognize people, animals, and vehicles for both still and video capture. Once set, focus can be prioritized to recognize faces, eyes, driver helmets, and more, ensuring your image is razor-sharp exactly where you need it to be.
• A low-luminance limit of -7.5 EV makes it possible to accurately focus in dark conditions such as concerts, clubs, and outdoor night shoots.

• Record stunning 6K-oversampled UHD 4K video at up to 60p with 10-bit color straight out of the camera for vlogs, content creation, travel videos, and more.
• Capture slow-motion in Full HD at up to 180p to reveal minute details or create fast-motion timelapses to show the passage of time, all in-camera without complex post-production.

• The SCN (special scene) setting on the camera's mode dial provides a set of 14 automated presets ideal for specific use cases ranging from studio portraiture to handheld night cityscapes.
• Positive and negative filmtone modes digitally recreate the texture and toning of classic positive slide film and negative film in-camera for a retro, analog look.
• The Advanced A+ mode recognizes the scene and performs intelligent bracketing and image processing to produce an optimal final image.

When trying to compose from unusual angles, the large 3.0" 1.62m-dot vari-angle LCD touchscreen is an indispensable tool for previewing your frame. With touch and drag functionality, you can intuitively and swiftly move the autofocus point on the touch-panel LCD.

• Wi-Fi support also allows the R8 Mark II to act as a video source for multi-camera live-switching setups through integration with Canon Live Switcher Mobile.
• Physically connect the camera to a smartphone or computer via the USB-C port. All Canon Camera Connect app features that can be used with Wi-Fi are now available when the camera and smartphone are connected via USB, using a compatible cable for your device. UVC/UAX support also allows the R8 Mark II to serve as a webcam when connected with no additional software needed.
