If you are using one of the standard classes (book, report, article) or a class compatible with the caption package, then you can declare your default font specification using \DeclareCaptionFont and then use this new declaration in \captionsetup:

\documentclass{article}
\usepackage{caption}

\DeclareCaptionFont{mysize}{\fontsize{8}{9.6}\selectfont}
\captionsetup{font=mysize}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\centering
A
\caption{The caption of the figure will be typeset using \texttt{8pt} font size}
\end{figure}
Regular text.

\end{document}

The result:

You can do this (and more!) with the caption package

\usepackage[font=small,labelfont=bf]{caption}

will make Figure in bold, and make the caption content small.

Referencing Section 2.3 of the documentation, the size options for font are as follows:

scriptsize
footnotesize
small
normalsize
large
Large

Here's a MWE to play with

\documentclass{article}

\usepackage[font=scriptsize]{caption}
\usepackage{mwe}

\begin{document}

\begin{figure}
\centering
\begin{minipage}{.4\textwidth}
  \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{example-image-a}
  \caption{My caption here}
\end{minipage}%
\hfill
\begin{minipage}{.4\textwidth}
  \includegraphics[width=\textwidth]{example-image-b}
  \caption{My other caption here}
\end{minipage}
\end{figure}

\end{document}
