Are you ready to elevate your virtual reality (VR) content creation? The Canon RF-S 3.9 mm f/ 3.5 STM Dual Fisheye Lens is here to transform your VR projects with its cutting-edge technology and innovative design. As a pivotal component of the EOS VR System, this lens is engineered to work seamlessly with the EOS R7 camera (firmware 1.5. 0+) and Canon's VR software solutions, enabling the production of immersive 3D content that can be enjoyed on head-mounted displays like the Oculus Quest 2. Specifically designed for APS-C sensors, the RF-S 3.9 mm f/ 3.5 STM Dual Fisheye Lens builds on the legacy of the RF 5.2 mm F 2.8 L DUAL FISHEYE, capturing stunning stereoscopic 3D 180-degree VR imagery on a single image sensor.
This lens offers a cost-effective and high-quality solution for VR content creators, addressing the typical challenges associated with compact 180-degree cameras. The lens features an optimized folded optical design with separate left and right optical systems, capturing stereoscopic 3D imagery with a 144-degree field of view on a single full-frame image sensor. When used with the EOS R7 (firmware 1.5. 0+), it delivers a single file, streamlining the post-production process by eliminating the need for multi-camera positioning, multi-lens syncing, image stitching, and audio syncing. Canon's EOS VR System, complete with the EOS VR Utility and EOS VR Plug-in for Adobe Premiere Pro, enhances flexibility and efficiency, saving you valuable time in accessing and preparing your content.
The firmware is optimized for VR shooting, providing essential metadata for software to convert fisheye images to equirectangular format. The RF-S 3.9 mm f/ 3.5 STM Dual Fisheye Lens features dual 3.9 mm fisheye lenses with a 60mm interpupillary distance, closely mimicking human vision for a natural parallax effect. This design creates a powerful, immersive experience, allowing viewers to feel as though they are part of the scene. The lens is equipped with a gear-type stepping motor (STM) and a dual-lens autofocus mechanism, ensuring smooth and straightforward autofocus operation akin to ordinary RF lenses.
The left-right focus differential can be fine-tuned using the focusing/control ring and the left-right focus difference adjustment mode switch. Canon's Air Sphere Coating (ASC) technology is incorporated to reduce ghosting and reflections in challenging lighting conditions. With an aperture range from f/ 3.5 to f/16, the lens offers extensive control over exposure in various lighting environments. Compact, lightweight, and portable, the RF-S 3.9 mm f/ 3.5 STM Dual Fisheye Lens is perfect for shooting in tight spaces. It also supports filters in two ways: a 30.5 mm screw-on filter at the rear of the lens and a filter holder for cut gel and polyester filters. Experience the future of VR content creation with the Canon RF-S 3.9 mm f/ 3.5 STM Dual Fisheye Lens, designed to deliver unparalleled quality and efficiency for all your immersive projects.
