The new EOS VR System consists of mirrorless cameras, a dedicated lens, and computer software. Users can capture VR videos by attaching the dedicated lens to the camera, and then utilise the computer software to convert the resulting image files to a standard VR file format, making the post-production process easy. The multinational company Canon has been specialised in making optical, imaging, and industrial products.
The new RF5.2mm f/2.8L Dual Fisheye lens is a dedicated RF lens equipped with two fisheye lenses, which seeks to produce a parallax effect that can be used to create 3D 180-degree VR images. When attached to the EOS R5 mirrorless camera, the lens enables users to harness the camera’s 8K3 recording capabilities to produce ultra-high definition.
Through the new updated technologies, the company Canon hopes to cater to the wide-ranging needs of various users, be it VR image creators, production houses, or new users just starting their VR video production journey.
