You Asked, Canon Delivers: The EOS Webcam Utility Beta Software* Now Available for macOS1 Users
MELVILLE, NY, May 27, 2020 – After tens of thousands of downloads and comments from Canon brand loyalists, the EOS Webcam Utility Beta (https://1.shortstack.com/VChq6Z) software* has expanded, and is now available for macOS users. Unveiled today by Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, for select EOS Interchangeable Lens Cameras (ILC) and PowerShot cameras, this beta version solution converts a compatible Canon camera into a webcam through a simple USB connection. Users were heard through multiple Canon social media channels, customer comments and media inquiries.
Similar to the Windows operating system version released April 28, the new macOS compatible software solution requires one single USB plug (which may need to be purchased separately) to connect the compatible camera to the computer. Once the software is downloaded and the camera is configured within a video conferencing application, the user will have improved video appearance while participating in video conferencing and virtual meetings.
To learn more, including whether your Canon EOS ILC or PowerShot camera is compatible, and to download the EOS Webcam Utility Beta software for both macOS and Windows, visit Canon.us/eoswebcamutility. (https://www.usa.canon.com/internet/portal/us/home/support/self-help-center/eos-webcam-utility/)

Review of the Aputure Amaran AL-M9 LED Light
Gary Detonnancourt
Aputure AL-M9 Review This little light is very small and portable coming in at only 140 g. Don’t let its size fool you, because this light is big on performance with 9 led lights built in and up to 9 steps of power. This light is useful for vloggers or anyone making videos on the go. Plus I like to use it with my webcam for making videos and live streaming.

Brown’s Tract Inlet Sunrise Time-lapse
Gary Detonnancourt
On Day 3 of my Adirondack trip I photographed this sunrise time-lapse. This is also where I learned that I should bring a second camera and tripod when shooting time-lapses because there were a lot of great shots happening behind me that I couldn't shoot because my camera was busy shooting this time-lapse.

Canon 5D Mark IV Still Images from Video
Gary Detonnancourt
In this post, I want to show some still images I've taken from 4K video shot on the Canon 5D Mark IV. These images are 8.8 megapixel captures and I think they look just as good as still images from the same camera. I've done this sort of thing with the GH4 and the images look good but I think they are even better from the 5D Mark IV. These images were captured with Adobe Premiere Pro and no image processing was applied. Check them out and let me know what you think.
