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.
