Canon launches free 3D photo software for select EOS R cameras

Canon has released new free software that allows users to create 3D images and models from their photos without specialized equipment. The Dual Pixel 3D imaging software, launched in October 2026, utilizes the camera's Dual Pixel CMOS AF sensor, meaning it's only compatible with select Canon EOS R series cameras released from 2020 onwards. The software can export images in OBJ, GLB, and MP4 formats, adding depth and texture to photographs. While currently free, Canon notes that terms of use may change in the future, potentially leading to a paid service. The software requires Windows 11 and specific compatible RF lenses. AI

IMPACT This software leverages AI-like algorithms for image conversion, potentially enhancing creative workflows for photographers.
