Canon’s EOS VR SYSTEM offers two types of 3D VR lens: one is a 3D VR lens for shooting immersive and three-dimensional videos. The other is a 3D lens for shooting images with a three-dimensional effect. It is important to choose the type that matches your shooting style, and the purpose or intended use of the images.
