Canon Patent - New Focus Modes Coming in Canon RF System Lenses and Camera

Canon’s latest patent allows users to explore more AUTOFOCUS modes while shooting a video. The patent describes that even if a user is recording video, during the recording the new AF modes allow users to enhance the user experience to the next level.

The Lenses Control Button will allow to explore more AF modes on the camera screen allowing users to select the type of AF modes they want during the shoot

So users will get these three new functions in upcoming Canon cameras

As you can see the user will have three different options on the camera screen the

1. first the manual focus is not executable during the autofocus

2. The second option is the manual focus, which is executable for the lens’s focus ring, even when the camera is in fully autofocus mode.

3. The third option is the manual focus is executable after the autofocus is complete

A lens apparatus connected to a camera, includes: a focus lens; a driving unit which drives the focus lens; an operation input unit; a mode switcher that switches between first and second modes relating to selection between AF and MF and a selection of an operation target of the operation input unit, and a controller, in which the controller, in the first mode, controls the driving unit based on an input from the operation input unit and controls a driving of the focus lens unit in MF, and in which the controller, in the second mode, outputs a control signal to change image pickup parameter based on input from the operation input unit, controls the driving unit in AF based on an AF control signal input from the camera when a set value input from the camera is AF-executable, and does not perform AF when the set value is AF-not-executable.
