TL;DR · WeSearch summary

Canon has announced a free software update called Dual Pixel 3D that allows users to generate immersive 3D images from single photos. The technology utilizes depth and phase-detection data captured by Dual Pixel CMOS AF sensors to create realistic 3D models and videos. The software is scheduled for release on Windows 11 in October 2026 and is compatible with several EOS R series cameras.

Key facts

▪The Dual Pixel 3D Converter software will be available for free on Windows 11 64-bit starting October 3, 2026.
▪The technology converts single RAW or JPEG shots into 3D imagery, OBJ/GLB models, or MP4 videos using an exclusive algorithm.
▪Compatible cameras include the EOS R10 and most models up to the EOS R5 series, including the newly announced EOS R8 Mark II.
▪Users can adjust the depth intensity and easily remove backgrounds to create 3D models or stereographic photos without specialized equipment.
