Canon Patent Application for Long Eye Relief Optics in EVF

Canon patent application 2018-124349 discusses optics for long eye relief (Wikipedia) in an Electronic View Finder (EVF). This is particularly useful for people wearing glasses. Otherwise they would struggle to see the whole image in the EVF. This patent application might actually go into production sooner or later.

• Patent application describing how to improve burst rate by compressing raw files
