In this patent application (2024-053967) Canon is looking to improve the ability of the cameras to calibrate the eye control focus with the photographer. The eye control focus is featured on older EOS film cameras and more notably, the Canon EOS R3.
Eye Control AF differs from Eye AF, as Eye Control AF moves the [. . . ]

The EOS R3's Eye Control system works on a similar principle to the one used in the late 90's and early 2000s, but isn't really trying to select individual, discrete AF points To me, Eye Control has always been some great 'what if,' that inevitably gets mentioned when camera geeks of a certain age spent too much time together. dpreview.com »

Introduction Not your average viewfinder, this. As expected, the Canon EOS R3 is chock-full of some of the latest and greatest camera technology that we've ever seen. Much of this is due to an all-new, super-fast sensor, redesigned processor and a machine learning-trained autofocus system that readily detects humans, animals and race cars. dpreview.com »

In this patent application (2024-111453), Canon explores the super telephoto zooms that ended up with the Canon RF 200-800mm f/6.3-9 IS USM. However, there are some other interesting designs in here worth exploring so let's go through them and you'll have to tell me if Canon should have gone for broke and made a 200-1000mm. [...] Source
At first, when I was writing up this patent application (2024-082112), I was leaning toward what others are mentioning on the internet that these are for ILC (interchangeable lens cameras) but after reading more, and looking at the back focus distances involved, I think it's more likely that these are for a compact rangefinder styled [...] Source
In this patent application (2024-078721), Canon is showing off some embodiments of some smaller standard F2. 8 zooms. While at first glance, this seems unlikely we should also keep in mind that Tamron's smaller 28-70 F2.
In this patent application (2024-076793), Canon shows off some embodiments of some lenses with internal zoom and focusing. The first embodiment that I'm going to talk about is a constant 60mm in lens length and a constant F4 aperture 12-30mm lens.
This is an intriguing patent application (2024-074321) because there are a few different embodiments that deserve a closer look than I originally thought reading through it. First, the 20-60mm F2. 8 would cover a lot of focal length bases for me.
In this patent application (2024-073200) Canon is looking at improving the racking of the lens from near to far to find focus quicker. As you may be aware, major defocus happens when the contrast is too far out of focus that it's just soft with no visible contrast. When this happens, it's nearly impossible for [...]
In this patent application (2024-072582) Canon discusses improving the magnets that drive the motors on various lenses that attach to the camera. This is to prevent the magnetic flux from causing image artifacts especially at high ISO when the sensor is operating at a extremely high level of amplification and thus, sensitivity. I seem to [...]
