Unlock new possibilities in visual storytelling with the Canon RF 5.2mm f/2.8 L Dual Fisheye 3D VR lens. Compatible with the EOS R5 mirrorless camera, this groundbreaking L-series lens is the world's first digital interchangeable lens capable of capturing stereoscopic 3D 180° VR imagery on a single image sensor. By combining the imagery from its dual high-performance fisheye lenses onto a single sensor, it delivers impressive results directly to one file, simplifying your workflow by eliminating the need to sync and stitch multiple video files. Switching from traditional stills or video shooting to stereoscopic 3D capture is as easy as changing the lens. When paired with the EOS R5, this lens enables high-resolution video recording at up to DCI 8K 30fps and DCI 4K 60fps.
3D 180° VR Capture
Designed specifically for the Canon EOS R5 mirrorless camera, this lens allows you to create an immersive 3D experience. When viewed on compatible head-mounted displays like the Oculus Quest 2, your audience can experience lifelike depth and freely look around the virtual environment you create. The lens features a meticulously engineered folded optical design with separate left and right optical systems, capturing 180° stereoscopic 3D imagery on a full-frame image sensor.
Effortless VR Creation
By using this single lens with the EOS R5, you produce a single file, streamlining your workflow compared to traditional VR systems that use two separate fisheye lenses and cameras to create two distinct files. This approach saves you time and effort both during shooting and in post-production by eliminating issues related to multi-camera positioning, lens syncing, image stitching, audio syncing, and encoding.
EOS R5 Camera with Updated Firmware (Version 1.5.0 or Later)
To enhance the user experience with the RF 5.2mm f/2.8 L Dual Fisheye 3D VR lens, the updated firmware for the EOS R5 introduces special features tailored for VR shooting. This firmware provides metadata to convert fisheye images to equirectangular format. It includes a Magic Window on-screen overlay, accessible by tapping the INFO button, which helps frame the central resting position and shows an approximate field of view. The lens also supports 6x and 15x magnification and manual focus peaking, and allows you to switch between the left and right lenses with a simple tap of the INFO button, aiding in precise manual focus adjustments.
Canon's EOS VR System
The Canon EOS VR System consists of this lens paired with an EOS R5 camera running updated firmware and subscription-based software, such as Canon's EOS VR Utility or the EOS VR plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro, both currently in development. This combination offers significant flexibility and efficiency, enabling quick access to content and faster preparation and sharing. The system facilitates the conversion of fisheye imagery to equirectangular format, and supports processing and exporting in various resolutions and formats, helping you capture, convert, and process high-quality VR images and videos.
Stereoscopic 3D Imagery
With dual 5.2mm fisheye lenses spaced 60mm apart, the lens provides an interpupillary distance that closely mimics human vision. This design creates a powerful and immersive experience, making viewers feel as though they are within the scene of the video or still image. Additionally, it allows viewers to adjust their viewing angle within a recorded scene when using a compatible head-mounted display.
