Canon Log 3 / HDR PQ

Canon EOS R8 offers flexible 8-bit and YCbCr 4:2:2 10-bit options for casual content creators and professionals who need post-production colour adjustments.

Use HDR PQ to record HDR-compatible movies with high brightness, wide gradation, and wide colour gamut without colour grading or simply use a Picture Style preset to simplify your workflow further.

Canon Log 3 can permit richer colour expression, even in high-contrast scenes, if you prefer greater colour control in post-production.

180p FHD

Add some flair to your videos by recording in 180p at Full High Definition (FHD). Complete your storytelling with some cinematic slow-motion effect (up to 6x slower when playback at 30p).

False Colour

Determine the exposure level of the recording by using this function. This will enable you to make adjustments that will prevent underexposure or overexposure in your videos.

Zebra Pattern

Zebra Patterns are displayed on areas where brightness meets and/or exceeds a preset level, letting you quickly spot any potential overexposure and make adjustments before highlights get clipped.

Steady & Smooth Videos

Achieve steady handheld footages every time, even when using a lens without IS. Movie Digital IS provides five-axis stabilisation to reduce the effects of camera shake.

When paired with an RF lens with IS, coordinated control is performed to enhance the stabilisation further.

Livestream Ready

EOS R8 supports USB Video Class (UVC) and USB Audio Class (UAC), allowing it to be used as a high quality webcam simply by plug and play using a USB cable. Stand out from the crowd with high quality video and audio in your livestreams or online meetings.

Pre-recording

With the EOS R8’s Pre-recording feature, you hardly ever miss any unexpected moments. Choose between 3 or 5 seconds of pre-recording to get the amount of extra footage you want before hitting the record button.

Hybrid Auto Mode

Now, you can make a video for the day without having to record anything. Before you take a photo, the Hybrid Auto Mode will automatically record approximately 2-4 seconds of footage. A short film in 30p is automatically generated by compiling all the short clips and images taken on the same day.

Aspect Marker

Use the Aspect Marker feature to create content that are tailor-made for your preferred social network. Visual indicators are visible based on the selected aspect ratio, making framing during shooting a breeze.

Superior Image Quality

Get high-quality images with lesser noise with EOS R8’s 24.2-megapixel full-frame CMOS sensor coupled with the latest DIGIC X image processor.

With a low light sensitivity that goes up to EV -6.5 and an ISO that goes up to 102,400, you can capture stunning images even when working in difficult lighting conditions.

HDR

In HDR mode, your camera is capable of capturing photos with a greater dynamic range of light up to approx. 3000 nits. Under the Dynamic Range Priority setting, the camera will take three shots at varying exposures and merge them into a single (HDR) photograph.

With the new Moving Subject Priority HDR mode, you can get an HDR image with just one shot instead of the usual three, making it ideal for shooting subjects on the move.

Human Detection

See how well the camera follows the eye, head or body when the subject moves, changes positions or even when partially obscured.

Additionally, you can choose which eye to track with the help of Left/Right Eye Priority Tracking on the EOS R8.

Animal Detection

Focusing on animals is never easy, due to their unpredictable behaviour. The Animal Priority AF eliminates this challenge and lets you focus solely on your creativity.

Cats, dogs, birds and horses can now be tracked under this mode.

Vehicle Detection

If you’re trying to get clear shots in the fast world of motorsports, the Vehicle Priority AF will help you out by tracking the vehicle.

Apart from cars and motorcycles, trains and planes are included as well.

EVF

Superb colour accuracy is achieved by the 0.39-inch OLED electronic viewfinder's (EVF) with approximately 2.36 million dots. During fast-paced panning shots, the 119.88 fps refresh rate (double that of the EOS RP) ensures a comfortable and fluid viewing experience.

Canon's HDR image processing technology allows the EVF to simulate the look of an optical viewfinder, enabling enhanced gradation in highlights and more details in shadow areas.

Vari-angle LCD

Experiment with new perspectives, whether from above, below, or by simply reaching around an obstacle.

The fully articulating 3.0-inch touchscreen LCD with 1.62-million-dot offers flexibility and convenience for more challenging angles.

Dust & Drip-Resistance

In addition to being dust- and water-resistant, the EOS R8's chassis is constructed primarily with magnesium alloy to withstand the elements.

Numerous sealing and high-precision components are incorporated into the camera to prevent dust and water droplets from entering.

Multi-Function Shoe

Sporting a next-generation interface with dust- and water-resistant design. The brand-new Multi-Function Shoe provides power from the camera and allows data transmission to support various types of accessories such as:

• Speedlite EL-5
• Speedlite Transmitter ST-E10
• Multi-Function Shoe AdapterAD-E1
• Directional Stereo Microphone DM-E1D
• Smartphone Link Adapter AD-P1

Subject Separation

The RF16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM with its large f/2.8 aperture, creates beautiful subject separation from the background. The 9-blade circular aperture adds a cinematic touch to out-of-focus areas, making the image look more appealing.

The wide aperture allows you to capture with faster shutter speeds and lower ISO settings, making it the perfect companion for capturing stunning low-light moments.

Compact Build

The RF16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM fits comfortably in your hand like a soda can. Weighing approximately 445g and measuring about 91mm in length, its lightweight design empowers you to easily shoot all day.

Being almost 30% shorter and nearly half the weight of the RF15-35mm f/2.8L IS USM, it is the perfect companion for those who value portability while never compromising performance.

Image Stabilisastion

The built-in Optical Image Stabilizer takes image stabilisation to the next level, offering up to 5.5 stops of shutter speed compensation, making previously impossible handheld shots achievable.

When used with compatible cameras featuring an In-Body Image Stabilizer, you can get up to 8 stops of image stabilisation through Coordinated Control IS. This allows for sharp handheld captures in situations that would typically require a tripod.

Magnify Closer at 0.26x

The RF16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM is capable of focusing at a distance as near as 20cm at 28mm focal length and offers up to 0.26x magnification, allowing you to get closer to your subject for detailed close-up shots.

Lead-Screw Type STM

The lead-screw type STM system offers outstanding responsiveness and control thanks to its simple mechanical design. The RF16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM features a lightweight focus group that enhances the STM drive, resulting in faster and more precise still image capture.

It also ensures quieter and smoother autofocus for video recording, providing a seamless shooting experience.

UD Lenses

The RF16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM is constructed with UD lenses with low refractive index and low dispersion. Two of these are nearly equivalent to one fluorite lens.

The precise placement and balance of the 4 UD lenses allow the lens to efficiently correct chromatic aberration and deliver high quality image.

Aspherical Lenses

The RF16-28mm f/2.8 IS STM lens features one of the largest diameter replica aspherical lenses found in any RF lens, along with a GMo aspherical lens.

This design effectively minimises spherical aberrations and wide-angle distortions while also allowing the zoom lens to remain compact and lightweight.

Dust & Drip Resistance

This lens is built with the same durability and shock resistance as L-series lenses, making it ideal for challenging conditions. The control ring and mount joints are sealed to protect the lens from sudden rain or moisture, especially when shooting near water.
