We have already seen the auto area framing of the Sony cameras that have been popular quite a bit among content creators, and the auto area framing is typical, as we have seen, and now works on a single subject. At the same time, it has multiple boxes, typically three different sizes available: one is small, medium, and large. Once you select one of the boxes, the camera automatically frames your subject and crops it in the video’s final version, so it seems like someone is shooting your video. It is really helpful to content creators, those who shoot with wide-angle lenses and create videos and vlogs of their daily life routine, or, let’s say, their cooking videos. In this specific area, the auto area AI framing works very well.
Canon AI Auto Framing Tech Tracks, Crops, and Save
We recently saw a patent stating that Canon is also working on auto AI framing technology. In this technology, the camera automatically frames the subject depending on the user’s choice and saves cropped portions of the video to the SD card (of your choice), or you can say as a final product.
After looking at the details, it is very clearly visible the camera will save multiple video clips of the same video by cropping in on the selected multiple subjects in a single frame. It might depend on the user which clip they want to keep and wish to delete. The other option is they can tap on the subjects, either subject A or B, so that the camera will only save the clip of the subject that has been selected by the user among the multiple subjects present on the screen.
Canon Updated Menu System with AI Auto Framing
Canon AI Auto Framing Coming in Canon R6 Mark III or Canon R7 Mark II?
We may see the AI auto-framing feature of the Canon cameras in the upcoming Canon R6 Mark III and the Canon R7 Mark II cameras since it’s not a kind of hardware thing. In general, when Canon does a hardware patent, it generally takes 2 to 3 years. Still, since this is a software-based patent and the working principle of the AI auto-framing is solely dependent upon the DIGIC accelerator chip present inside Canon cameras, once introduced with the Canon R6 Mark 3 as well as R7 Mark 2, later on, these updates will be processed over the cameras with an AI accelerator chip inside them.
Even in the screenshot of the menu that I shared with you, you can clearly see the camera has dual card slots inside it. That indicates none of the entry-level cameras will have these features. As of now, only the cameras with the AI accelerator chip and dual card slots, which indicate a professional body, will have the AI auto-framing capability.
