Initial Precautions

Image Metadata

Metadata enabling conversion to equirectangular images is added to images captured with VR 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.

Shooting/Recording Mode

Recording in [Fv], [P], [Tv], [Av], [M], or [B] mode is recommended. Movies recorded in modes other than [Fv], [P], [Tv], [Av], [M], or [B] mode may cause issues such as incorrect conversion in EOS VR Utility.
