Canon Releases EOS Webcam Utility Software
The last few months have been a whirlwind in the world of EOS Webcam Utility software. With over 700,000 downloads after launching the beta version of the software in April, Canon USA has helped people stay connected with high-quality video for communication with ease of use. Now, the company unveils the full production version of the EOS Webcam Utility software for Windows. The full production version expands to include additional compatible EOS Interchangeable Lens Cameras (ILC) such as the new EOS R5 and EOS R6 cameras.
