Canon EOS R5 Mark II
The Do-It-All Camera for Multimedia Professionals
Boasting enough horsepower to allow Canon's highest resolution mirrorless sensor 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 EOS R series' 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 persons 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
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
- Electronic shutter allows flash sync speeds of up to 1/250s
Pre-Continuous Shooting
Newly available in the EOS R5 Mark II is the ability to bank up to 15 shots of pre-continuous shooting by half-depressing the shutter button before firing. When the shutter button is fully pressed, the previous half-second of images are written to the memory card, allowing users to "go back in time" to recover a decisive moment they might have missed.
Noise Reduction and In-Camera Upscaling
First and foremost, the R5 Mark II is a camera built for image-makers looking to maximize quality and flexibility. As such, the broad native ISO 100-51200 range suits working in a variety of lighting conditions and the DIGIC Accelerator enables the use of Neural Network Noise Reduction for cleaner images, especially at higher sensitivities.
This same processing power also enables the creation of even higher resolution stills-up to 179MP-via In-Camera Upscaling. This deep learning-based tool doubles the number of pixels horizontally and vertically to produce a larger, more detailed image with maintained sharpness and clarity.
Coordinated Control Image Stabilization
A lightweight, compact build encourages users to hand-wield the camera, and here as elsewhere the R5 Mark II's new innards yield performance gains. Coordinated control helps achieve the optimum hand-shake correction effects, benefitting handheld shooting in low-light conditions and reducing shake when recording videos. The five-axis in-body image stabilizer (IBIS) corrects up to 8.5 stops of unwanted camera shake in the center of the frame and 7.5 at the edges when used in conjunction with compatible. Additionally, Movie Digital IS uses the optical and sensor-shift stabilization methods along with digital IS to help acquire steadier footage while moving.
A Cinema EOS-Integrated 8K Powerhouse
The R5 Mark II inherits many of innovations that made its other relative, the R5 C, a favorite among combination video-stills shooters, and carries over much of its Cinema EOS cousin's features and workflow. Like its predecessors, the 45MP full-frame sensor enables impressively high-resolution DCI 8K raw video recording internally, now up to 60 fps, along with 4K SRAW also at the full sensor width.
Key Features and Technologies
Advanced 45 megapixel layered image sensor
The next-generation, full-frame, back-illuminated, layered CMOS sensor combines stunning resolution, colour depth and dynamic range with incredible speed and video capture.
DIGIC Accelerator meets DIGIC X
The EOS R5 Mark II Dual Pixel Intelligent AF and Eye-tracking AF take shooting to a new level. Moving subjects stay in sharp focus even when they briefly disappear from view.
High performance based on advanced technology
With up to 8.5 stops of image stabilisation, you can shoot with a handheld camera with long shutter speeds, and customisable controls let you adjust the camera to the scene and your shooting style.
Speed meets resolution
Take incredible 45-megapixel photos at 30fps with 15-frame continuous shooting pre-recording, or shoot stunning videos at up to 8K 60p resolution in Light RAW.
