Canon brings Reuters photojournalism to the streets of Europe through urban art

The first exhibition takes place in Cologne’s Belgian Quarter from 19th – 23rd September

London, UK, 20th September – Canon Europe today unveils the first in a series of urban art exhibitions across Europe to shine a light on the amazing stories that can be told through photojournalism.

The first exhibition takes place in Cologne’s Belgian Quarter from 19th – 23rd September

In partnership with The Wider Image which presents in-depth visual reports from across the world by Reuters, the world’s largest news agency, world-renowned photojournalists have independently identified and captured seven incredible stories. Equipped with Canon’s new professional DSLR camera, the EOS 5D Mark IV, each photojournalist pursued the perfect shot – an image that triggers debate, questions and changes people’s perspectives.

Throughout September and October, the photography will come to life in various forms of urban art in seven cities across Europe: Cologne, London, Paris, Milan, Madrid, Amsterdam, and Stockholm. People will have the chance to discover stories from the increasing threats to Berlin’s renowned nightlife, to the 6,000 Italian villages abandoned by emigration, highlighting important societal issues and themes in today’s world.

“Both Reuters’ photographers and the Canon EOS 5D series have captured some of the most iconic images of our time”, said Kieran Magee, Director Professional Imaging, Canon Europe. “We’re proud to be able to highlight some of the amazing photojournalists that tell the stories that need to be told, and share these through interesting street art exhibitions across Europe.”

A synopsis of each Wider Image story is as follows.

In Berlin, the party goes on despite threat of club closures
Michael (Hannibal) Hanschke
Berlin is globally renowned for its nightlife, from the legendary Berghain to impromptu parties. But the city’s lively nights are under threat as pressure on space increases along with rents. Several clubs have shut down in recent months and many more are expected to follow. This story will look at a small slice of Berlin's nightlife, focusing on the people who make it so vibrant, from the people out partying to those that work in the night-time economy.

The real banlieues
Joe Penney
Circling Paris, the banlieues are home to a largely working class and migrant population and are often portrayed as a hotbed of crime and radicalism. However, this image doesn't tell the whole story, the suburbs are also home to a vibrant music and arts scenes. As people from outside the suburbs are attracted to the gritty urban landscape and lively youth scene the areas are slowly changing. This story will focus on the musicians and artists who live and work in the banlieues.

The power of community
Marcelo de Pozo
Dazzling white and nestled in the brooding mountains of the Sierra de Grazalema Natural Park the Pueblos Blancos of Andalusia are named for the white lime wash that the buildings are painted with. But while this region is stunningly beautiful it is also one of the poorest areas in Spain with one of the highest unemployment rates in the E.U. This story will document the rich tapestry of life in these villages where while the times are tough and have been for generations, strong communities pull together and depend on each other.

How the effort and vision of one man brought a village back to life
Siegfried Modola
Emigration in Italy has left 6,000 villages abandoned, with another 15,000 on the brink. Every year, more young people leave rural towns and villages and move to cities in search for work. Isolated towns and villages are emptying out and left to decay. Swedish millionaire Daniel Kihlgren purchased a large part of Santo Stefano di Sessanio in Abruzzo and opened the houses of the village once abandoned to paying guests. The village has now about 117 inhabitants. This story will look at the extremely picturesque village of Santo Stefano di Sessanio, its few inhabitants and the effort to revitalise it.

The rise of ‘Urban Agriculture’ in Sweden
Maxim Shemetov
In Europe more and more people are striving to eat natural, organic food grown by local farmers and small households. One of the sides of this trend is that urban residents are trying to get closer to nature - or at least as close as they can, given the rhythm of life in a big city. This has led to the phenomenon of the city farm - tiny crops of plants grown in parks or even in pots set up on rooftops, where people plant fruit and vegetables using green technologies and natural fertilizers. Stockholm and Malmoe have become the centres of urban agriculture in Sweden, where people are tuned into healthy lifestyle and "wellness" trends.

Growing up in London, a city where immense wealth rubs shoulders with poverty
Paul Hackett
Grime emerged from the council estates of east London and has been important part of the musical landscape for the last decade. Recently the genre has crossed over into the mainstream, and is being recognized outside the UK. This story will look at a group of young artists hoping to succeed in the music industry as they negotiate the challenges of making it in a city where immense wealth exists alongside poverty.

The legacy of the Dutch language and its place in the future of the Rainbow Nation
Joe Penney
The story will look at rising cultural icons from the Afrikaans-speaking community in Cape Town, focusing on a group of creatives who are using Afrikaans to shape popular culture in the dynamic city.

New SanDisk 1Terabyte SDXC Card Prototype Unveiled

Western Digital Demonstrates Prototype Of The World's First 1Terabyte SDXC Card at Photokina 2016

PHOTOKINA, COLOGNE, GERMANY, Sept. 20, 2016 – Western Digital Corporation (NASDAQ: WDC), a global storage technology and solutions leader, today unveiled its SanDisk® 1TB terabyte (TB) SDXC™ card prototype at the world's leading trade fair for photo and video professionals. With increasing demand for high resolution content, such as 4K and 8K, the company continues to push the boundaries of technology with solutions that support the exponential growth of data-intensive production demands.

“Showcasing the most advanced imaging technologies is truly exciting for us,” said Dinesh Bahal, vice president, product management, Content Solutions Business Unit, Western Digital. “Sixteen years ago we introduced the first SanDisk 64MB SD™ card and today we are enabling capacities of 1TB. Over the years our goal has remained the same; continue to innovate and set the pace for the imaging industry. The SanDisk 1TB SD card prototype represents another significant achievement as growth of high-resolution content and capacity-intensive applications such as virtual reality, video surveillance and 360 video, are progressing at astounding rates.”

Since the introduction of the record-breaking 512GB SanDisk Extreme PRO® SDXC UHS-I Memory Card at Photokina 2014, Western Digital has proven it can nearly double the capacity in the same SD card form factor using proprietary technology. Higher capacity cards expand the possibilities for professional videographers and photographers, giving them even greater ability to create more of the highest quality content, without the interruption of changing cards.

“Just a few short years ago the idea of a 1TB capacity point in an SD card seemed so futuristic – it’s amazing that we’re now at the point where it’s becoming a reality. With the growing demand for applications like VR, we can certainly use 1TB when we’re out shooting continuous high-quality video. High-capacity cards allow us to capture more without interruption, streamlining our workflow, and eliminating the worry that we may miss a moment because we have to stop to swap out cards,” said Sam Nicholson, CEO of Stargate Studios and member of the American Society of Cinematographers.

Western Digital will be demonstrating the SanDisk 1TB SDXC card prototype and showcasing its newest offerings at Photokina, Hall 02.1 Stand A014.

Canon Celebrates Significant Milestone with Production of 120 Million EF Lenses

MELVILLE, N.Y., September 8, 2016 – Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, announced today that its parent company, Canon Inc., reached a new lens-manufacturing milestone with the production on August 26, 2016 of the Company’s 120-millionth EF-series interchangeable lens for EOS cameras—an EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM telephoto zoom lens.

Production of interchangeable EF lenses for Canon EOS-series AF (Autofocus) single-lens reflex film cameras began in 1987 at the Company’s Utsunomiya Plant. Over the years, EF lenses have gained support from a wide range of users and production has since expanded to a total of four manufacturing bases, including Canon Inc., Taiwan; Canon Opto (Malaysia) Sdn. Bhd.; and Oita Canon Inc. in southern Japan.

EF lens production passed the 10-million-unit mark in 1995 and crossed the 50-million-unit threshold in 2009. In April 2014, the Company celebrated its first-in-the-world achievement of having manufactured 100 million EF lenses, and now, setting a new world record for the most interchangeable lenses produced, Canon manufactured its 120-millionth EF lens in August 2016. In addition, Canon’s interchangeable-lens digital cameras (digital SLR and compact-system cameras), which utilize EF lenses, have maintained the No. 1 share of the global market for 13 consecutive years since 2003.*

Canon’s proprietary EF lenses, launched in March 1987 along with the EOS SLR camera system, have continued to evolve since their introduction, leading the industry through the incorporation of a wide range of innovative technologies, including such world’s firsts as the Ultrasonic Motor (USM), Image Stabilizer (IS) technology, a multilayered diffractive optical (DO) element, and Subwavelength Structure Coating (SWC) anti-reflection technology. The Company’s extensive EF lens-series lineup currently comprises a total of 97 models,** including EF Cinema Lenses for digital cinematography.***

Canon will continue refining its imaging technologies centered on its EF lens lineup, striving to cater to the varying needs of photographers—from first-time users to advanced amateurs and professionals—while contributing to expanding the photographic and video imaging culture.

* As of March 29, 2016, based on a Canon survey.

** Including two EF lens extenders and three models available outside of Japan. As of September 7, 2016.

Canon EF Lenses Equipped with World’s-first Technologies

Model name	Main features and technologies	Launch date
EF300mm f/2.8L USM1	World’s first2 use of a lens-based Ultrasonic Motor (USM)	Nov. 1987
	USM technology delivers fast autofocusing thanks to its high torque and responsiveness. By converting ultrasonic vibrations into rotational energy, the technology makes possible quiet, smooth AF drive performance.
EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 IS USM3	World’s first2 use of Image Stabilizer (IS) technology	Sep. 1995
	Users can see the results of IS technology through the viewfinder. Delivering high precision and stability for outstanding image stabilization results, this technology expands the possibilities for handheld photography.
EF400mm f/4 DO IS USM4	World’s first2 use of a diffractive optical (DO) lens element	Dec. 2001
	Diffraction is an optical phenomenon in which light waves bend as they pass around the edges of an object. DO lens elements use this phenomenon to correct for a variety of aberrations by controlling the path that light travels.
EF24mm f/1.4L II USM	World’s first5 use of Subwavelength Structure Coating (SWC)	Dec. 2008
	SWC technology helps minimize reflections by aligning countless wedge-shaped structures more minute than the wavelength of visible light on the surface of a camera lens.
EF100mm f/2.8L Macro IS USM	World’s first2 use of Hybrid IS, which helps compensate for both angle camera shake and shift camera shake	Oct. 2009
	Employing a newly developed algorithm, Hybrid IS optimally adjusts for camera shake based on information gathered by two sensors located in the lens. By precisely driving the optical correction system, the technology simultaneously corrects for angle and shift camera shake.
EF8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM	World’s first2 fisheye lens to deliver both 180-degree diagonal angle of view and 180-degree circular fisheye	Jul. 2011
	The EF8-15mm f/4L Fisheye USM enables the capture of images with dramatic deformations, exaggerated perspectives and extreme depths of field, making possible images that are significantly distorted, similar to what a fish might see were it to look skyward from under the water surface.
EF200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x	World’s first2 super-telephoto zoom lens to employ an internal extender	May 2013
	Featuring a built-in 1.4x extender, the EF200-400mm f/4L IS USM Extender 1.4x’s zoom range can be expanded with a simple one-touch operation even in locations where users are unable to switch lenses.
EF11-24mm f/4L USM	World’s first2 lens offering ultra-wide-angle 11 mm minimum focal length	Feb. 2015
	In addition to achieving the world’s widest angle of view starting at a minimum focal length of 11mm, the EF11-24mm f/4L USM effectively corrects for aberrations commonly associated with ultra-wide-angle lenses, delivering superior image-quality performance.

1. As of September 7, 2016, production for this lens has already been discontinued. Successor: EF300mm f/2.8L IS II USM (launched in August 2011).

Making of the largest photograph in the world with a Canon EOS 70D DSLR

Making of the largest photograph (365 Gigapixel) in the world with a Canon EOS 70D / Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L II IS Lens (with Canon Extender 2X)

Click image to go to in2white interactive Mont Blanc Photography Project

Guinness World Record - the in2white panorama is officially the largest panorama in the world

Making of the largest photograph in the world (with Canon EOS 70D)

Italian photographer Filippo Blengini said the in2white project was inspired by the mountain itself.

'We just wished to represent it as it shows to our eyes : major beauty, astonishing magnitude, pure elation,' he said.

'We were brave, crazy and ambitious enough to think about a gigapanoramic picture, to seize every single detail of the mountain.'

The five-strong team spent two weeks in late 2014 at an altitude of 3500 metres (11,500 feet) enduring -10°C temperatures.

Using a Canon EF 400mm f/2.8L II IS Lens, a Canon 70D DSLR and a Canon Extender 2X III on a special robotic mount, they captured 70,000 photographs in every direction over 35 hours of shooting.

The project also plans to return to the area and add two more panoramas from different angles.

It will also allow users to add climbing tracks to the image, and even allow climbers to identify themselves in it.

'We wish to carry on our experience about the Mont Blanc, offering you more features and enthusiastic vision,' the team said.

Missed Photo Ops a Thing of the Past 

The Canon EOS Rebel T6 camera provides a wide ISO range of 100-6400 (expandable to ISO 12800), making it ideal for shooting both still and moving subjects in a wide variety of lighting conditions ranging from low light to bright sunny days. In addition, the camera is capable of shooting high-resolution 18 megapixel still photos continuously up-to-three frames per second (fps), with predictive autofocus to help keep every image sharp and clear, even with moving subjects.

The Scene Intelligent Auto mode in the Canon EOS Rebel T6 camera analyzes the image, accounting for faces, colors, brightness, moving objects, contrast and whether the camera is handheld or on a tripod. Scene Intelligent Auto mode then chooses the exposure and enhancements that can bring out the beauty in virtually any scene or situation. Simplifying DSLR image capture, Scene Intelligent Auto mode lets you concentrate on composing images without puzzling over settings.

Another exciting addition to the Canon EOS Rebel T6 camera is a new ‘Food Mode’ on the mode dial for the foodie or blogger to easily capture stunning images of the food they love. This mode enhances the color and brightness of the food images while at the same time making the images ready to share. Other fully automatic exposure modes include portrait, night portrait, landscape, sports, and close-up. Additionally, the easy-to-use Full HD video mode captures sharp, high-definition video up to 1080p resolution with the choice of automatic or manual focusing. Creative filters such as Fisheye, Toy Camera, Miniature, and Soft Focus give users additional ways to create fun and imaginative images to enjoy, print and share. The camera’s new “white priority” Auto White Balance setting enables users to create images with a more neutral tone when shooting under incandescent lighting. In addition to all the automatic modes, the new Canon EOS Rebel T6 camera provides complete manual exposure and focus controls plus RAW image output for advanced amateur photographers and photography students.

The Canon EOS Rebel T6 camera is compatible with the entire Canon EF and EF-S lens system including over 60 current models enabling users to capture their world in different perspectives ranging from Fisheye to Super-Telephoto. Scheduled for availability in April 2016, the estimated retail price of the Canon EOS Rebel T6 camera will be $549.99** when bundled with the EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II standard zoom lens.
