March 07, 2008 Corporate strategy conference

For color copying machines, this year is the year of low-to-medium speed machines, and as such, we are working to increase the number of machines in the field (MIF) by expanding new product sales, and we are accelerating the development of next-generation engines to be put on the market in the near future.

For inkjet printers, we are moving ahead with our primary business strategy of increasing print volume.

As for video cameras, we are taking advantage of Canon's strength in all key device areas, including CMOS sensors, lenses, and imaging engines, to produce superior high definition technology which will elevate us to the no. 1 position among HD video cameras.

And for IC steppers we are making sure and steady progress with ArF immersion and are aiming for a 30% share of the immersion market by 2010.
