Press Release: DXO OPTICS PRO V3.0 SOFTWARE TO SUPPORT NEW FULL-FRAME
CANON DIGITAL SLR
Paris, France, August 22, 2005 – DxO Labs
announced today that DxO Optics Pro v3.0 Digital SLR and lens automatic image
quality enhancement software will soon support Canon’s new Digital SLRs
and lenses. DxO Optics Pro v3.0 incorporates revolutionary optics, noise and
exposure corrections in an all-new, easy-to-use, feature-rich application for
both Mac and PC users.
“DxO Optics Pro has always been about
allowing Digital SLRs and their compatible lenses to automatically achieve peak
performance – beyond what is possible with the hardware alone. We are very
excited by Canon’s announcements today and in particular by the new
full-frame Canon EOS 5D. We plan to support these major products from Canon in
the weeks following their availability,” stated Luc Marin, vice president
of the Photography Business Unit at DxO
Labs.
Full-Frame sensors benefit
greatly from DxO Optics Pro
technology.
There are many advantages to a
full-frame image sensor in a Digital SLR camera – notably the absence of a
focal length multiplying factor compared to traditional 35mm film cameras.
However, high-pixel count, full-frame sensors are also incredibly demanding in
terms of optical performance, highlighting aberrations such as distortion,
vignetting, chromatic aberrations and lens softness. Thanks to its unique set of
algorithms, DxO Optics Pro v3.0 can automatically correct these problems as well
as reduce image noise by up to two stops and optimize exposure and dynamic
range.
DxO Optics Pro support fast
becoming a purchase criteria for
photographers
In a recent survey of more
than 1,500 photographers conducted by DxO Labs, more than 2/3 of respondents
affirmed that they would be more likely to buy a camera or lens knowing that it
is supported by DxO Optics Pro v3.0. DxO Labs is happy to provide photographers
one more reason to choose Canon’s new offerings.
