The Do-It-All Camera for Multimedia Professionals
Boasting enough horsepower to allow Canon‘s highest resolution mirrorless sensor to shoot a speedy 30 fps and capture 8K60p raw video, the EOS R5 Mark II Mirrorless Camera is the multimedia professional’s solution for versatility, image quality, and intelligence. An all-new 45MP sensor’s stacked, back-illuminated design joins a brand new processor to provide upgrades in nearly every category, creating a do-it-all camera that gets the job done.
A Stacked Sensor-Processor Combo
The R5 Mark II’s new sensor maintains the high resolution of its predecessor while introducing a stacked, back-illuminated design that makes room for Canon’s latest image processor, the DIGIC Accelerator. Operating alongside the stalwart DIGIC X, the camera combines the raw image data with high-volume, deep-learning datasets to produce gains in subject tracking and recognition, pre-continuous capture, blackout-free shooting, video resolution, maximum recording time, and more – making the R5 Mark II a powerful and comprehensive professional creator’s toolkit.
Autofocus and Deep Learning
The improved processing speeds benefit the already robust autofocus, incorporating deep learning datasets in its Dual Pixel Intelligence AF to produce advancements in subject recognition and tracking while also improving on the Eye Control Focus feature introduced in the EOS R3.
- The processor’s high-level analyses keep the intended subject locked when similar subjects cross one another
- Head, eyes, upper body, and joint structures are all tracked, as well as people other than the main subject and the ball
- Action Priority Menu setting for still photos identifies sport-specific events, actions, and ball positions for soccer, basketball, and volleyball
- Photograph or upload a person’s image to register and prioritize up to 10 subjects
Eye Control Focus
Reintroduced in the EOS R3, Eye Control AF allows shooters to use their eye to initiate where the focus point is simply by looking through the electronic viewfinder. The R5 Mark II boasts newly developed camera optics and a revised line-of-sight detection algorithm to nearly double the detection frame rate. The camera integrates Eye Control Focus with its improved subject tracking and recognition algorithms to keep the sighted subject in sharp focus.
High Speed, High-Quality Stills Performance
Electronic Shutter
Chief among the benefits of the new sensor-processor combination is the ability to shoot high-quality, high-resolution images at blazing speed, unlocking mural-sized moments of athletic brilliance, breaking news, or even history. The R5 Mark II has the power to record the ephemeral and commit it to memory on the biggest scale and in astounding detail.
- Continuous shooting speeds of up to 30 fps full-frame raw with reduced shutter distortion, with up to 12 fps when using the mechanical shutter
- Supports always-on blackout-free display when using the electronic shutter
- For indoor sports shooters, the camera effectively suppresses flicker in LED lighting environments by detecting refresh frequencies
- Flash sync speeds of up to 1/250s possible when using electronic front-curtain shutter
