MELVILLE, N.Y., Jan. 21, 2020 /PRNewswire/ -- Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging
solutions, today announced that its parent company Canon Inc. will
be recognized at the 71st Annual Technology &
Engineering Emmy® Awards for the ME20F-SH Ultra-High Sensitivity
Full-HD Camera. Presented by the National Academy of Television
Arts & Sciences (NATAS), the Technology & Engineering Emmy®
Awards honor development and innovation in broadcast technology and
recognize companies, organizations and individuals for
breakthroughs in technology that have a significant effect on
television engineering. The Technology & Engineering Emmy®
Awards will be presented on April
19th, 2020, during NAB 2020 in Las Vegas.
"We are grateful to receive this esteemed recognition for our
revolutionary ME20F-SH camera," said Kazuto Ogawa, president and COO, Canon
U.S.A. "This marks Canon's fifth
Emmy, an accomplishment we are immensely proud of. This award is a
testament to the company's commitment and vision for developing
imaging tools that help creative professionals see what was
previously considered impossible."
Canon's remarkable ME20F-SH is a multi-purpose camera
that can achieve ISO sensitivity of over 4,000,000 and employs an
enhanced version of a 35mm full-frame CMOS sensor for Full HD
video. Its compact, modular body design allows easy custom
configurations for diverse usage scenarios. Since its introduction
in July of 2015, this unique camera has been used by visionary
cinematographers and productions such as National Geographic's
groundbreaking Earth Live broadcast in 2017. The program aired live
video from remote wilderness sites around the world, utilizing the
ME20F-SH for the nighttime locations to capture images of nocturnal
creatures that would have otherwise gone unseen. While capturing
video in extreme low-light conditions often requires the use of
infrared illumination (a technique that only yields video in
monochrome), the ME20F-SH camera achieves impressive
high-sensitivity performance enabling the capture of color Full HD
video with reduced noise in low-light conditions without the need
for infrared illumination.
The ME20F-SH employs an EF mount, allowing users to make use of
the Company's extensive lineup of interchangeable EF lenses. By
letting users select the ideal lens based on their shooting or
application requirements, taking into consideration such factors as
angle of view and level of brightness, this multi-purpose camera
facilitates a wide spectrum of imaging possibilities.
