[1] [2] Its main feature was the "Quick Focus" focus-assist system [3] that was aimed at those who had trouble focusing through the viewfinder—either novices, or those with poor eyesight—and was intended to head off competition from the first full-autofocus cameras from other manufacturers, such as the ...

A very common example of combined usage is the phase-detection auto-focus system used in single-lens reflex cameras since the 1985s. The ...
The Canon EOS 7D is the first Canon body to be able to control Speedlites wirelessly without the use of a Master Speedlite or IR transmitter; four other EOS models, the 60D, 600D, 650D, 70D, and 700D, also have wireless flash capabilities. The 7D is capable of handling three slave groups.
The lens has a self-contained autofocus system that does not require autofocus electronics in the camera body. Canon, unlike Minolta and Nikon, was convinced that having the motor in the lens was the optimal approach; this line of thinking continued with the new EOS system in 1987, which remains Canon's standard mounting system for SLRs today.
In 1987 Canon was the first to use USM (Ultrasonic Motor) with the Canon EF 300mm f/2.8L USM. [19] In 1989 Canon was the first to create a full frame f/1.0 AF (AutoFocus) lens and the only one until today with the Canon EF 50mm f/1.0L USM. In 1993 Canon was the first to create an interchangeable 10× superzoom lens for SLR cameras.
