- At Canon, we innovate,
so you can push artistic boundaries.
And we're proud of the many ways
we've contributed to your creativity over the years.
From sets to sidelines, from studios to sidewalks,
from weddings to the wilderness,
to wherever inspiration strikes.
We're here to deliver the innovation
to power your creativity.
We're excited to share another product
designed to unlock new dimensions in visual storytelling.
The RF5.2MM F2.8 L Dual Fisheye.
The world's first Dual Fisheye stereoscopic RF mount lens,
that when paired with EOS R5,
puts 8K virtual reality video capture
in the palm of your hands.

The new Dual Fisheye design
is Canon's first interchangeable RF mount lens
for VR capture.
With this versatile mount,
it means you can go from traditional shooting
to 3D stereoscopic capture, in a simple lens swap.
The RF mount is key, as the large diameter
in short back-focus distance,
close to the image sensor,
are leveraged to achieve high image quality
throughout the entire scene.
In a more compact optical system
optimized for a folded optical path.
When mounted onto an EOS R5,
with compatible firmware update,
the lens produces a beautiful Dual Fisheye image,
at up to 8K DCI 30p or 4K DCI 60p.
Maybe one of the best advantages
of the RF5.2MM F2.8 L Dual Fisheye
is the fact that this image is internally recorded
to a single full-frame image sensor.
This makes complex stitching and syncing
a thing of the past.
The capture to export process is further simplified,
thanks to software offerings that allow easier workflows.
This will help seasoned VR content creators,
and newcomers to VR as well.
The 190-degree field of view
delivers impressive results with it's color, science,
and image quality you know and love from Canon.
You'll be able to achieve a sharp image
by using the manual focus band to adjust both lenses,
as well as a separate left-right difference adjustment dial
to further refine your focus of the right lens alone.
Engineered with an interpupillary distance
of 60 millimeters, it closely resembles human vision
with natural parallax.
And Dual Fisheye construction
allows you to immerse your audience
and captivating stories unlike ever before,
to bring your creativity to life, in stereoscopic 3D.

One of the first things you may notice
when you're handling this lens, is just how compact it is.
Previously, when shooting VR,
you would have needed a dedicated VR camera, custom rigs,
multiple cameras, or more.
Now you'll be able to easily add the power of VR
to your camera bag, alongside your favorite Canon lenses.
Let's talk more about the quality of this lens.
First, the L Series optics offer pristine imaging
with 12 elements in 10 groups,
and two ultra-low dispersion elements,
creating a 190-degree field of view.
With sub-wavelength structure coating,
you can shoot with confidence, even in challenging lighting.
Whether in backlight, front light, low light,
or anything in between, it provides you versatility,
no matter the scene or the time of day.
With an aperture range of f/2.8 to f/16,
featuring 1/3 and 1/2 stops,
and exposure values that are electronically controlled
by two separate electromagnetic diaphragms,
exposure control is quick and easy.
Separately, a gelatin filter holder
is located at the rear of the lens,
and is compatible with filter gels
just like other ultra-wide angle Canon lens offerings.
Lastly, thanks to Fluorine coated lenses,
and dust and water resistant seals,
this lens is built for professional use.
So, you can have a peace of mind,
even in challenging conditions.
With the remote control live view function,
using Canon's free Canon Camera Connect app,
or Canon's EOS utility program,
you can monitor your scene without the need
to touch your camera.

As I said before, the post-production process
is greatly simplified.
With the new Canon EOS VR utility,
you can convert clips from Dual Fisheye
to Equirectangular.
It's also possible to make quick edits
as well as adjust resolution, and file format for export.
For those who wanna push their image a little further,
we've also introduced a new plugin for Adobe Premier Pro.
You can automatically convert your footage
to equirectangular, cut, color,
and add new dimension to your stories,
all without leaving Premiere Pro.
With this new lens,
you can transform life's incredible moments
into amazing immersive visual stories.
From experienced professionals to newcomers
who are ready to tell their first story in virtual reality,
the RF5.2MM F2.8 L Dual Fisheye
is a powerful solution,
the next generation of immersive content creator.
