Yes, you can use your existing Canon EF and EF-S lenses with the EOS R8 by using an official Canon Mount Adapter, which is sold separately. Info needed: specify compatible adapter models.

Info needed: Please refer to the official Canon specifications for the EOS R8 to confirm the presence of in-body image stabilization. Many RF lenses feature optical image stabilization (OIS).

Battery life varies significantly based on usage, such as shooting mode, video recording, Wi-Fi use, and temperature. Info needed: Consult the camera's manual or Canon's official specifications for estimated CIPA ratings for still images and video recording time.

Info needed: While many professional cameras offer some level of weather sealing, specific details for the Canon EOS R8 should be confirmed with official Canon product specifications or the user manual.

Firmware updates are typically downloaded from the official Canon support website to a memory card, which is then inserted into the camera to initiate the update process. Always follow the detailed instructions provided by Canon for your specific model.

Ensure the battery is fully charged and correctly inserted. Try re-inserting the battery. If possible, try a different charged battery.

Check your focus mode and ensure the camera is able to acquire focus on your subject. Increase your shutter speed to prevent motion blur, especially in low light. Ensure your lens is clean and properly attached.

Remove and re-insert the memory card. Ensure the card is not write-protected. If the issue persists, try formatting the card (this will erase all data) or use a different compatible memory card.

Ensure your ISO setting is appropriately high for the scene without introducing excessive noise. Use a lens with a wider aperture (lower f-number) to allow more light in. Consider using a tripod to enable longer shutter speeds for stationary subjects.

Ensure you are using a high-speed memory card (UHS-II recommended) that can handle the data rate of your video settings. Check if the camera is overheating; allow it to cool down if necessary.
