The CR2 codec supports the latest camera bodies and models from Canon, including the EOS 6D, EOS 5D Mark III, EOS 70D, EOS Rebel T5i, EOS Rebel T5, G16, PowerShot G1 X, and PowerShot S120.
Notes
- Any previous version of the codec should be uninstalled before installing the new codec
- If using the embedded JPEG preview the width and height displayed will be that of the embedded preview image
- Even if we can't decode the RAW data for your camera model, we will use the embedded JPEG preview. This should allow the codec to be useful for the latest models immediately without waiting for an update from us.
- The 32 bit MSI and 64 bit MSI files that are included in the installer are available for administrators who need more installations options than are available in the default installer. On 64 bit platforms you should install both 32 bit and 64 bit codecs if you need to support 32 bit applications that use WIC. The Setup application above does installs both.
