MELVILLE, N.Y., April 28, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- As virtual
meetings and gatherings become the new norm, you don't want to be
caught in the dark with a low-quality webcam. Fortunately, a new
solution – EOS Webcam Utility Beta software** -- was
unveiled today by Canon U.S.A.
Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, for select EOS
Interchangeable Lens Cameras (ILC) and PowerShot cameras. To
help bring you into the light, this beta version solution converts
your compatible EOS ILC and PowerShot camera through a simple USB
connection into a webcam. Built by Canon software developers, this
beta version software helps consumers to improve their video
appearance while using popular video conferencing applications in
the market, delivering clarity and high-image
quality.
The EOS Webcam Utility Beta software solution requires one
single USB plug (which may need to be purchased separately) to
connect the camera to a Windows* operating systems computer. Once
the software is downloaded and the camera is configured within a
video conferencing application, the user will be ready to go.
"In unprecedented times, it's imperative for Canon to provide
our customers with useful, simple and accessible solutions to
assist them in whatever imaging needs they have," said Tatsuro
"Tony" Kano, executive vice president of the Canon U.S.A., Inc. Imaging Technologies &
Communications Group. "Our goal is that the EOS Webcam Utility Beta
software can help reduce some of the remote workday stress for
employees who are tasked with video conferencing and virtual
meetings."
