- Fluorite Lenses-The Ultimate High-Performance Lenses
(04'31'') - Fluorite is the ideal mineral for correcting chromatic aberration. However, no naturally occurring fluorite can meet all the requirements for a camera lens. Based on our belief in making use of its own abilities to create whatever is necessary, Canon overcame the numerous barriers that stood before us to successfully realize the mass production of fluorite lenses. Canon is now the only manufacturer to incorporate fluorite in its auto-focus lenses for SLR cameras.

Kenninji Temple Restoration - 50 Painted Panels
(04'58'') - Long ago, 50 panels painted by artist Kaiho Yusho were housed in Kyoto's Kenninji Temple. Because Kenninji Temple was damaged in the 1934 Muroto Typhoon, these panels have since been entrusted to the Kyoto National Museum in the form of hanging scrolls. The Tsuzuri Project is producing high-resolution facsimiles of these panels. Canon aims to allow beautiful works of art to be enjoyed in their original locations. As of 2011, 16 of the 50 sliding doors have been reproduced.
