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.

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.
