Canon-Canon's name comes from Buddhism. The founder of Canon is a doctor of medicine, whose name was inspired by looking up at the sky. Canon, formerly known as SEIKI KOUGAKU KENKYUJO, is a precision optical instrument research institute. This company was founded in Japan. Canon originally had a very English name called KWANON, which means Guanyin. In this name, the company ordered its first 35mm ranging camera. So far, there is only one KWANON camera in the world. About 1936, the company officially launched the camera, the brand is Hanseatic Canon, and its word Canon means "ceremony, specification and standard". Since then, Canon has become a world-famous camera brand and a symbol of the company. Undoubtedly, there are more and more resounding names. EOS (Electron Optical System) used now not only stands for the abbreviation of the English initials of electron optical system, but also stands for a Greek goddess named Dawn.
