Canon is working on new 3D photo technology that makes creating 3D images easier than ever. Using its Dual Pixel CMOS sensors, Canon can capture depth information from a single shot—no special lens required.

At CP+, Canon showed how this tech could generate 3D models automatically, especially when paired with a turntable setup. It’s ideal for product photography, letting online sellers create interactive 3D images of items like clothes, bags, or home decor.

Unlike Canon’s pricey RF 5.2mm f/2.8 L Dual Fisheye lens, this system works with affordable lenses like the RF 50mm f/1.8. While it’s still in development, the positive reaction at CP+ suggests it could hit the market soon.
