How to make stereoscopic images with Canon EOS 5D Mark IV’s Dual Pixel RAW

View Post

A user of DPReview’s forum discovered that you can produce stereoscopic images with Dual Pixel RAW files of the new Canon [shoplink 40051]EOS 5D Mark IV[/shoplink].

I don’t think this was planned by Canon when they implemented Dual Pixel RAW. On the other hand, it’s a pretty good example of the potential of this technology. I am sure we will see more new applications of Dual Pixel RAW. As soon as the EOS 5D Mark IV starts to be widely used, such discoveries will pop up.

You can learn about making stereoscopic images with Dual Pixel RAW files in this thread. CR2 files are available for download so you can try it for yourself. Another discussion thread about stereoscopic images made with Dual Pixel RAW files is here.

If you want to learn more about Dual Pixel RAW I recommend this article by Canon DLC.

Canon EOS 5D Mark IV teardown by LensRentals

canon eos 5d mark iv

All pictures © LensRentals and used with permission.

LensRental’s Roger Cicala and Aaron Closz did it again. They completely disassembled the brand new Canon [shoplink 40051]EOS 5D Mark IV[/shoplink].

They write:

The weather sealing on the Canon 5d Mark IV appears pretty robust […]  The shell of the camera has an interlocking construction with lots of pins and clips and more screws than previous Canon cameras. This makes it kind of a pain to get into, but I’m sure it adds to the shell’s overall strength. It might make it more weather resistant if the parts are held together more tightly […].

There are more chips, and more and heavier connectors moving electrons from board to board than even the Canon 5Ds cameras have. This kind of makes sense because there’s lots of new stuff in here: a touch screen LCD, dual-pixel technology, WiFi, GPS, the list goes on. […]  There are some empty spaces that aren’t packed full of electronics. In other words, this camera probably could have been a bit smaller but Canon wanted to keep the form factor the same.
