Canon working to improve user experience by improving the touch display interface of the camera. This patent talks about improving user experience while reviewing the image. Patent document describes the camera will maintain the same zoom ratio even when slide to another image and lot’s of other improvement.
We think these are minor updates and can be implemented to existing touch display screens via a simple firmware update too. See more Canon Patent

Recent patent we have seen Canon is working on super zoom lenses for its Fullframe Mirrorless and Fullframe DSLRs camera. One of the most the most important attractive then we have seen is the 25 to 300 mm lens which covers Almost 90% of starting from Wide Angle shots to telephoto.
Canon Fullframe Mirrorless Lens Patent
1.Focal distance: 29.22 – 350.06 F 2.8 – 4.5
- – 4.50 – Half angle of view: 32.15
- – 3.5 – Image height: 18.36
- – 21.61 – Total length: 406.68
- – 406.68 – Back focus: 22.42 – 22.42
2.RF 25-300 mm F 3.5-5.6
- – Focal distance: 25.20-294.41
- – F value: 3.50
- – 5.60 – Half angle of view: 36.72
- – 4.20 – Image height: 18.80
- – 21.61 – Total length: 374.08
- – 374.08 – Back focus: 21.75 – 21.75
As you can see the details of the two above lenses having shorter Back Focus distance. One lens is focal length of 25-300mm with aperture ange F6.5-F5.6 and other lens we have in the list is the 30mm to 350mm with aperture range F2.8-F4.5. Literally with bit extra wide coverage the 25-300mm Lens is commercially more usable than the 30-350mm lens.
Not only the above two lenses we also have two DSLRs lenses those who give extreme coverage, you can say these lenes are being inspired from Canon EOS Cinema (PL Mount) lenses.As usually PL Mount lenses give extreme coverage but they are costly too.
Canon Fullframe DSLRs Lens Patent
1. Canon EF 35-350 mm F 3.5-5.6
- – Focal length: 35.04-350.37
- – F value: 3.50
- – 5.60 – Half angle of view: 30.36
- – 3.5 – Image height: 20.53
- – 21.61 – Total length: 321.17
- – 321.17 – Back focus: 40.10 – 40.10
2. Canon EF 35-400mm F 4.5-5.6
- – Focal distance: 35.13 – 386.45 – F value: 4.50
- – 5.60 – Half angle of view: 30.30
- – 3.20 – Image height: 20.53
- – 21.61 – Total length: 362.82
- – 362.82 – Back focus: 54.68 – 54.68
But as you can see the Focal length of both the lenses are exactly same at wider end starting from 35mm bit at tele end one is having 350mm coverage and other having 400mm coverage. The Lens made of Canon Fullframe DSLRs having 35-350mm focal length and aperture range F3.5-5.6 look bit more usable to me compared to 35-400mm lens with F4.5-5.6 aperture.
By looking at these patent data one thing is sure that Canon really planned something great for thir mirroless fullframe camera as well as Fullframe DSLRs. Which lens is your fav lens among the list of four lenses do share with us.

Canon Working on Advance Built-in Flash Units, you can see the patent images below the flash is now more flexible and can be used as a bounce flash without adding any extra accessories.
Take a look at one more image of the patent document so you have the clear idea of the new built-in flash unit
Patent Details
The image-capturing apparatus includes a light-emitting unit movable between a retracted position and a light-emitting position at which a light emitter faces a direction different from an image-capturing direction toward an object, and a moving mechanism to rotate the light-emitting unit about a rotation center axis not parallel to the image-capturing direction to move the light-emitting unit between the retracted and light-emitting positions. The moving mechanism is configured such that, at the retracted position, the light emitter is located on an object side further than the rotation center axis located at a first position, and such that, at the light-emitting position, the rotation center axis is located at a second position located on the object side further than the first position. The moving mechanism includes a stopper portion provided to stop the rotation center axis at the second position.
An image-capturing apparatus comprising:
a main body;
a light-emitting unit including a light emitter and being movable relative to the main body between a retracted position and a light-emitting position at which the light emitter faces a direction different from an image-capturing direction toward an object; and
a moving mechanism configured to rotate the light-emitting unit about a rotation center axis not parallel to the image-capturing direction to move the light-emitting unit between the retracted position and the light-emitting position.

Canon latest patent suggest that Canon is working on a new Version dual pixel CMOS autofocus sensor, that particular sensor is capable to do multishot in a single click with the help to sub-pixels. With the help of the subpixel multi-shot technology the Canon dual pixel CMOS autofocus sensors will going to create images with high dynamic range compared to the conventional image that you get from a Canon DSLR camera / Mirrorless Camera.
As we all know Canon dual pixel CMOS autofocus sensor uses their to sub pixels to acquire auto focus on subject, now in this case that to sub pixels or may be in quad pixel sensor a pair of pixels will capture two different images at the same moment with different exposure values. And later on both of the image will going to be combined with each other to have a image with enhanced dynamic range.
As you can see from the flowchart, Canon algorithms are arranged in a way to acquire different images with multiple exposures and then perform the first dynamic range extension process and after that transform II dynamic range extension process and finally the images saved in the memory card.
So any future Canon will going to give a option to users to have images with enhanced dynamic range. There is also possibility that can and may seamlessly integrate this feature in their dslrs, because in many test we have seen that Canon dslrs get low scores when compared to the cameras from Nikon or Sony.
In general a patent takes approx 1 or 2 years of time to become a official product, and it is also not necessary that every parent should become a product. SO, at this moment we are unable to confirm you that this particular Technology will going to be used in a future inside Canon DSLR or upcoming Canon mirrorless camera. But we do have a high hope as this one is most important feature that should put inside the Canon DSLR and upcoming cameras.
