Initial Precautions

Image Metadata

Metadata enabling conversion to equirectangular images is added to images captured with EOS VR System equipment. This metadata may be lost if you edit your images with image editing software or other applications.

Images must include metadata in order to be edited with [Horizontal Correction] in EOS VR Utility or EOS VR Plugin for Adobe Premiere Pro.
