Canon has introduced a new spatial video lens, aimed at content creators working with 3D video.
The RF-S 7.8mm F4 STM DUAL lens delivers a natural 63-degree field of view, closely mirroring human vision, to create immersive experiences, said Canon.
It is currently compatible with the EOS R7 following a firmware update, with potential for gradual expansion of compatibility in the future. The lens allows creators to capture spatial video for higher-end VR headsets, as well as smartphones via VR glasses, and cardboard headsets.
EOS R System lenses Canon has also announced additions to its RF series of hybrid lenses.
The RF 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM Z, RF 50mm F1.4L VCM and RF 24mm F1.4L VCM include a smooth operation iris ring with an 11-bladed circular aperture, fast and effective low light performance as well as advanced optics and minimal focus breathing.
According to Canon, the RF 70-200mm F2.8L IS USM Z is ideal for sport, wildlife, and news. The lens includes features such as electronic parfocal performance and focus breathing suppression, plus servo zoom via optional Power Zoom Adapters, a built-in 5.5-stop Optical Image Stabiliser and dedicated Iris Ring for smooth aperture control.
