Canon’s RF lenses for shooting 3D VR video, the RF5.2mm F2.8 L DUAL FISHEYE (released in December 2021) and the RF-S3.9mm F3.5 STM DUAL FISHEYE (released in June 2024), are compatible with the QuickTime movie profile “Apple Projected Media Profile” (APMP), which is newly supported by Apple Inc.’s spatial computer “Apple Vision Pro.”
In addition, the “RF-S7.8mm F4 STM DUAL” (released in November 2024) will support “spatial photography.” Canon additionally says they will continue to contribute to the further expansion of the 3D VR market through its collaboration with Apple.
The EOS VR System
Canon launched the 3D VR video shooting system “EOS VR SYSTEM” in 2021, responding to the needs of VR video production in a wide range of fields such as entertainment, tourism, and education. Furthermore, in June 2024, Canon announced the “RF-S7.8mm F4 STM DUAL” lens, which can shoot 3D images with a sense of depth “Spatial Video” that can be viewed on “Apple Vision Pro,” contributing to expanding the range of 3D VR video expression.
At the Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC) hosted by Apple, which began on June 9, 2025 (Pacific Time), visionOS 26, a new OS for Apple Vision Pro, was announced.
Canon’s RF lenses for 3D VR video capture, the RF5.2mm F2.8 L DUAL FISHEYE and RF-S3.9mm F3.5 STM DUAL FISHEYE, will be compatible with APMP, which will be supported by visionOS 26, scheduled for release in the second half of 2025. By converting footage captured with cameras compatible with these lenses to APMP using the EOS VR Utility2 app, users will be able to easily enjoy a high-quality, immersive experience with Apple Vision Pro.
In addition, with the update of the “EOS VR Utility,” the “RF-S7.8mm F4 STM DUAL” will also be compatible with “Spatial Photos,” 3D images that allow you to enjoy a sense of depth in still images, in addition to “Spatial Video” when combined with the mirrorless cameras “EOS R7” (released in June 2022) and “EOS R50 V” (released in May 2025).
Furthermore, in mid-July 2025, the “EOS R50” (released in March 2023) will also be compatible with the “EOS VR SYSTEM” through a firmware update, making it possible to shoot “spatial videos/photos.”
