MELVILLE, N.Y., Sept. 16, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- It has been a
whirlwind the last few months in the world of EOS Webcam Utility
software. With over 700,000 downloads after launching the beta
version of the software in April, Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging
solutions, has helped people stay connected with high quality video
for communication with ease of use. And today, the company unveils
the full production version of the EOS Webcam Utility software for
Windows. The full production version expands to include additional
compatible EOS Interchangeable Lens Cameras (ILC) such as the new
EOS R5 and EOS R6 cameras. In addition, the new software will be
available worldwide and available for download directly from the
Canon website in each region.
A common thread and conversation throughout the beta software
forums was the compatibility of camera models. Many customers were
excited to experience the beta version of EOS Webcam Utility
software and wanted the list of 25 cameras that were compatible to
be more extensive. In true Canon fashion – those voices have been
heard loud and clear – now, a total of 42 EOS ILC and PowerShot
cameras are compatible with the full production software, including
the new EOS R5 and EOS R6 cameras. The complete list of compatible
cameras includes:

has been tested* with various video conferencing
applications** as well as streaming applications including:

Moreover, customers have desired to record a high-quality video
file onto the memory card in their camera while video conferencing
or streaming, and we listened. This can now be
achieved*** by simply pressing the record button on the
camera and not through the software.
