Let’s Talk Eye-controlled Autofocus On Canon Cameras

Recently a Canon patent application was spotted that discussed technologies for an eye-controlled autofocus system. Something Canon already offered back in the film days with the Canon EOS 3.

Taking inspiration from the above patent, DPReview TV’s Chris and Jordan consider what a modern eye-controlled AF system might mean to photographers. The following topics are discussed in the 5 minutes video below:

• The Canon EOS 3
• Eye-controlled AF
• Eye-controlled AF challenges
• How a new eye-controlled AF system could work
• Selecting faces and eyes
• Do we need updated eye-controlled AF?

Enjoy.
