Canon EOS R5 Mark II Mirrorless Camera Body - 6536C002

Master the Moment
The EOS R5 Mark II is an impressive successor to the incredibly versatile EOS R5 camera body, bringing a host of new features and technologies that make this the most powerful EOS 5 series camera ever. It starts with a brand-new Canon manufactured, Full-frame 45MP sensor that is back illuminated and stacked for blazingly fast read-out speeds that allow for up to 30 fps continuous shooting speeds in electronic shutter, then builds on that with major autofocus improvements, increased video capabilities, and so much more.

Totally New Image Sensor
Even though the pixel count is the same as the EOS R5 camera body, this is a completely new 45MP sensor design with a redesigned architecture. This new full-frame sensor is stacked and back-illuminated allowing for incredible electronic shutter performance of 30 fps in RAW, JPEG or HEIF format.

DIGIC Accelerator
The DIGIC Accelerator processor is a completely new front-engine processor, developed by Canon to supplement the powerful DIGIC X image processor. The DIGIC Accelerator handles the processing that makes many of the new features of this camera possible, allowing the DIGIC X image processor to focus solely on image processing. Together they combine for high-precision focusing, with incredible speed at high-image quality.

Faster Readout Speed
The faster readout speed of the back illuminated and stacked full-frame CMOS image sensor in the EOS R5 Mark II, has reduced the rolling shutter distortion by about 60% compared to the previous EOS R5 camera body. From photos of high-speed moving subjects in sports, to impressive video we’re excited to see what you create with the EOS R5 Mark II.

Dual Pixel Intelligent AF
Autofocus has been significantly upgraded on the EOS R5 Mark II with features like subject tracking which it shares with the new flagship EOS R1. The new Dual Pixel Intelligent AF subject tracking allows you to maintain focus on a subject even when they are obscured briefly while shooting. And, for even faster positioning of your active AF Area, the EOS R5 Mark II adds Canon’s Eye Control AF - which is even more advanced than the Eye Control in the EOS R3 camera.

Once you calibrate the viewfinder to your eye, just look where you want to focus, and the AF Area will move there when you press the AF activation button. This new system is even robust enough for many users to work when the photographer is wearing glasses. Many users will find that this is the fastest and most effortless way to move your autofocus point.

Video for Creatives
The EOS R5 Mark II has extensive options for the creative imagemaker including resolutions up to DCI 8K, and frame rates up to 23.98p in Full-HD and DCI 2K resolutions. At 4K resolution frame rates up to 119.8p is also possible. These higher frame rate videos will now also support recorded audio for impactful high-speed, or slow-motion video. Powerful Custom Picture options also include Canon Log 2 and Canon Log 3, HLG, PQ, Canon 709 and BT.709 Standard and they are now more customizable through Custom Picture menu including the ability to apply a LUT to your image. The R5 Mark II adds features like a full-size HDMI port to the camera, Waveform monitor, False color, Focus breathing compensation, and 24-bit LPCM 4-channel audio recording. Users also have the choice of several recording formats including Canon 8K RAW Movie, a new Canon 4K Light RAW Movie format, the new XF-AVC S, and XF-HEVC S, system provides rich audio, flexible filename and metadata options making it even easier to use the EOS R5 Mark II on productions where Cinema EOS cameras like the EOS C70 or EOS C400 may also be used.

High-Speed X High Resolution Image Sensor
New 45 Megapixel CMOS Sensor
This completely new full-frame stacked, back-illuminated image sensor design allows for incredible electronic shutter imaging performance with high-resolution 45MP images that can be captured at 30fps in full 14bit RAW or C-RAW, 10bit HEIF, or 8bit JPEG formats. Enjoy significantly reduced rolling shutter distortion with the dramatically increased sensor readout speeds and new capabilities like the ability to shoot with Flash when using Electronic Shutter.

Versatile Shutter Modes and Drive Speeds
The EOS R5 Mark II is equipped with a stacked, back-illuminated image sensor capable of 30fps capture of 14bit RAW imagery in Electronic Shutter. For users that wish for lower than 30fps drive speed, the EOS R5 Mark II offers a wide range of choices for H+, H and L modes. Additionally, through use of Customized buttons, the drive speed can be programmed to increase or decrease the drive speed during shooting by pressing a button. A Mechanical shutter, and Electronic first curtain shutter mode are also available allowing for 12fps continuous shooting for even more versatility.

Powerful Continuous and Pre-Continuous Shooting

EOS R5 Mark II features up to 30fps continuous shooting speed supporting JPEG, RAW, and HEIF image formats and when Pre-Continuous Shooting is enabled, pressing the shutter button halfway will start the pre-shooting process, when you fully depress the shutter, the previous 1/2 -second of images will be written to the memory card (so up to 20 if you are shooting at 40 fps), and will continue capturing images until you release the shutter button.

Sync Speed Priority
EOS R5 Mark II now features Sync Speed priority for flash photographers looking for faster flash sync speeds with select Canon Speedlite flashes such as Speedlite 430EX III / 470EX-AI / 600 EX II-RT / EL-100 / EL-1 / EL-5 / EL-10 and Macro Ring Lite MR14-EX II / Macro Twin Lite MT-26EX-RT. With use of these products, in Electronic First Curtain Shutter mode a 1/320th sec. sync speed is possible at full-frame and 1/400th sec. sync speed is possible in 1.6x crop mode. In Electronic Shutter mode, 1/200th sec. sync speed is possible at full-frame resolution, and 1/320th sec. sync speed is possible in 1.6x crop mode.

Focus Bracketing with Flash and Depth Compositing
The EOS R5 Mark II becomes an even more powerful tool for macro and product photographers looking for immense detail. With a single press of the shutter button, the camera can automatically take a series of photos at different focus distances. The camera then performs depth compositing to generate an image that is clearly in focus from the foreground to background from the source images. This is useful in macro photography where depth of field is often shallow, or where a drop in image quality due to diffraction caused by a narrow aperture is a concern.

Incredible Processing Speed

The DIGIC Accelerator processes large volumes of data directly from the image sensor giving you incredible improvements in your imaging performance. Not only does the DIGIC Accelerator provide you with high-speed and highly-accurate AF detection, but it also enables more precise metering calculations using 6144 zone metering – 16x the number of zones as EOS R5 and EOS R3.  This means better exposure calculations and improved white balance accuracy for your photos and videos.

In-Camera Upscaling
The DIGIC Accelerator chip also has a useful in-camera upscaling feature that uses deep learning to double the horizontal and vertical size of a JPEG on your card (leaving the original image untouched) in about 10 seconds. That means you can upscale a 45 Megapixel image to 179 Megapixel right in the camera.

Neural Network Noise Reduction

In the in-camera RAW processing menu of EOS R5 Mark II the new Neural Network Noise Reduction is now possible allowing for clearer imagery with detail to be produced with greater noise reduction capability to increase your image quality – without the need for a computer, or special software.

Blur / Out-of-Focus Image Detection 
Thanks to the new image sensor, and the addition of the new Accelerated Capture system, the EOS R5 Mark II is capable of capturing up to 30 fps of RAW, JPEG, or HEIF (HDR-PQ) images using Electronic Shutter.  With the combination of a high-speed drive frame rate, and the impressive autofocus system in EOS R5 Mark II, the amount of keeper images will be sure to rise. So, when taking JPEG photos of people in Electronic Shutter mode, when the Blur / Out-of-Focus image detection function is enabled, the camera can evaluate and calculate the degree of blur in the detection frame of the main subject, and it adds the result to the EXIF information of the image file. A detection frame and Blur / Out-of-Focus icon is then be displayed during playback to judge the files for the user to speed up culling. It's also possible to customize the playback controls for image jump using the main dial to only see these images "with less blur". This filtering functionality is additionally available in Digital Photo Professional allowing users to cull on their computer."

Precision Subject Detection and Autofocus

The EOS R5 Mark II features an extensive range of detectable subjects for a variety of different situations. With People Detection, the eyes, face, head, upper torso, or full body can all be detected whether it be a portrait of a bride at a wedding, or a soccer player running directly at the goal. When Subject to detect is set to Animal Detection, the eyes, face, or the entire body of cats, dogs, birds, and horses can all be effortlessly tracked so wildlife photography and videography of unpredictable wildlife or pets can be easier. When Vehicle is set in the subject to detect menu, motorsports cars and motorcycles, trains and aircraft can all be detected and an additional spot focusing mode allows the helmet of open race cars, or motorcycle riders to be focused on for additional precision. To make focusing even easier an AUTO subject Detection mode is now available in the EOS R5 Mark II allowing the camera to automatically adjust the Subject Detection mode for you during shooting.

Register People Priority
With Register People priority enabled, simply by taking a photo of a person, the photographer or videographer can prioritize them as the registered subject when more than one face is detected in a scene. The camera then will tenaciously track these subjects across the scene regardless of when other subjects may be in the frame or even obscuring the subject.  Whether you’re photographing your next wedding or doing a video shoot on a gimbal stabilizer for a small business client, with Register People priority the camera will diligently work to prioritize focus on the subjects you want in focus.

Action Priority

Action priority setting is powered by the Accelerated Capture system. It is a new autofocus setting where in select sports, the camera can analyze and understand more information about the subject movements of players, and automatically move the AF point to a player performing a specific action based on their motion and body movements – such as taking a shot, passing a ball, and so on. With information such as face, head, eye, torso, and joint information of the main subject, and additionally other subjects within the scene at the same time, as well as the ball position information, the camera can tenaciously track the ball carrier, or subjects that are temporarily hidden as they move within the scene or when they make an important action such as shooting the ball. Additionally, the camera can better predict their actions and can recognize where to place the focus to capture moments that were not possible before to help ensure you get the action shot you want when the action is moving incredibly fast in front of you. Soccer, volleyball, and basketball are all supported currently.

Advanced Eye Control AF
For even faster positioning of your active AF Area, the EOS R5 Mark II adds Canon’s Eye Control AF  – which is now even more advanced than the Eye Control AF system found in the EOS R3 camera body. Once you calibrate the viewfinder to your eye, simply look where you want to focus, and only when you press the AF activation button the focus will move to that AF Area position. This new system is even robust enough to work when a user is wearing glasses, and if you operate the camera when wearing sunglasses, it's possible to add additional calibration.

Focus Preset

EOS R5 Mark II now features Focus Preset, a function that up until now has only been available on Canon super-telephoto lenses. Now preset focus positions can be assigned to any of the camera's buttons, or even the lens L.Fn button and used with all RF lenses that support AF. Even when a subject is not detected as desired, users can register a focus position at a predetermined location to prevent focus from moving to obstacles in the foreground or background. This is ideal for those difficult situations when shooting wildlife or sports where critical focus is imperative in high action situations.
