Canon talks about how to use AI technology in cameras, third-party lenses are coming

[Gearbest Technology News]Recently, Gearbest noticed that Phototrend published an interview with the Canon development team conducted at the CP+ venue, which discussed how Canon will use artificial intelligence technology on cameras and the issue of third-party lenses for Canon's RF system.

Regarding the market share, Canon said that both sales and profits had grown well last year. In terms of interchangeable-lens cameras, Canon currently holds a 48% share of the world market, which has remained at this level in recent years. It holds the largest market share in the mirrorless category and is the number one in the interchangeable-lens camera category.

Regarding the issue of third-party lenses for the RF mount, Canon responded: “It should be made clear that we do not adopt an open mount strategy and currently do not have any third-party AF lenses. Having said that, in order to meet customer needs, product diversity is necessary, and now we communicate with third-party manufacturers much more than before. All I can say now is that we have signed a confidentiality agreement with other manufacturers. As for what kind of lenses will be launched and the positioning of the lenses in the market, I can't say anything.”

Canon has a clear idea about the use of artificial intelligence: in terms of artificial intelligence, it is mainly used to improve autofocus performance and use deep learning to assist subject recognition. In addition, AI is active in the field of image processing, such as AI improving noise, improving clarity, and correcting aberrations. In addition, the company's policy and philosophy on the use of AI is image processing, not artificially generating images. Canon hopes to use artificial intelligence technology to correct images to make them closer to the original state.
