Camera features special algorithm to correct
for reduced contrast
Canon U.S.A., Inc., a leader in digital imaging solutions, has
announced the Canon CR-2 AF Digital Non-Mydriatic Retinal Camera, a
new camera that delivers stunning, high-resolution, 20.2 megapixel
images—the highest resolution available in any digital retinal
camera today—with extraordinary detail, contrast, color fidelity
and speed. Enhanced from the previous CR-2 Digital Non-Mydriatic
Retinal Camera, the new CR-2 AF features contrast enhancement
technology never-before offered to correct for reduced
contrast.
The CR-2 AF features low-flash intensity to minimize pupil
constriction and shorten the time needed to take multiple pictures.
Additionally, the CR-2 AF’s light weight and compact design make it
an ideal diagnostic companion for offices where space is at a
premium or where telemedicine portability is required. With an
optical pathway entirely manufactured by Canon and virtually free
of aberration, the CR-2 AF’s digital filter set is able to provide
precise and consistent views of the various layers of the
retina.
New Contrast Enhancement
Delivering stunning, high-resolution, 20.2 megapixel images, the
CR-2 AF Digital Retinal Camera provides outstanding image quality
with extraordinary detail, contrast, color fidelity and speed.
Enhanced from the CR-2 Digital Non-Mydriatic Retinal Camera, the
new CR-2 AF is equipped with the newly added contrast enhancement
feature for even greater photographic quality.
The camera’s new contrast enhancement feature provides increased
image clarity from previous models by emphasizing the difference in
‘redness’ and ‘brightness’ of blood vessel structures relative to
their surroundings. By expanding the range of brightness values in
a fundus image the reader is able to better discriminate minute
retinal details between areas initially having small differences in
density.
Ease of Image Capture
Building upon the success of the CR-2, the CR-2 AF is equipped
with features to assist the user in easily capturing high-quality
images. Image Error Detection automatically confirms both correct
alignment and focus while the Quick Preview mode allows users to
preview their images directly on the dedicated EOS camera
immediately after the image is captured.
The camera has several automatic features for ease of use,
including:
- Auto-Focus with Manual Alignment
Override automatically focuses the eye by partially depressing the
joystick, or easily switches to manual focus with a twist of the
focus ring.
- Auto-Exposure automatically measures
the volume of infrared light at the retina and adjusts the flash
intensity.
- Auto-Capture automatically captures the
image once the eye is properly focused.
- Auto-Fundus automatically switches from
the external eye to retinal observation mode when the eye is
properly aligned.
Availability
The CR-2 AF Digital Retinal Camera is now available directly
from Canon as well as through authorized Canon U.S.A. dealers. For
