In the first half of 2022, Canon China contacted us which the Shanghai International Import Expo in the second half of 2022 will begins, and invited Yueguang Intelligent to participate in the exhibition with the U100 smart camera. On the evening of November 4, the Fifth Shanghai International Import Expo opened as scheduled.
We are very happy and honored to have such an opportunity to develop and produce products developed by a new Chinese company.
I am not saying that Canon brought my products to the Import Expo and helped me a lot when I write this article. I just sang praises and sang empty praises, but it did not bring good results. I came to the expo and worked with the Canon exhibitors. What I saw moved me, and I was truly moved.
1.A Canon employee who is as tall as a sitting old man
An elderly man came to inquire about the camera. The staff in charge of explaining the camera patiently explained to him and answered his questions.
After a long time, seeing the old man standing a bit tired, the employee asked the old man to sit on the only two chairs in the exhibition area. Continue to explain to the old man.
The employee knelt down on one knee, slightly lower than the old man, so that the old man could speak in a more comfortable posture.
Kneeling on one knee is uncomfortable, and the employee will switch legs and continue kneeling after a while.
I was also in the camera exhibition area, and was always by the side. When I saw this scene, I first took a few photos with my mobile phone and recorded a video. Then go to Canon’s professional photographer for this exhibition, pull him over, and tell him to take pictures of the whole scene, you are the photographer, and you are looking for highlights, this is it.
This old man was in the exhibition area for more than an hour. I believe that when this old man decides to buy a camera, he must think of this young man kneeling in front of him and decides to choose a Canon camera.
2. An old employee who is full of energy all day
There is a large open space in the Canon exhibition area. This time, Canon specially showcased the brand-new MR system exhibited from Japan to overseas for the first time. This system combines reality and virtuality and has an immersive feeling. Perhaps, this is the future A new model for selling large, customizable items.
There was an old employee with gray hair on the scene, who was said to be from Japan. It looks very old, and people comes a little fat.
To introduce the entire product, he must constantly communicate with the experiencer and use gestures to tell the experiencer how to operate it.
He bent down tirelessly, gestured to push forward over and over again, and should still be talking. After a day, he should be very tired. But by 5:00 p.m., he has been working for more than eight hours. As long as someone walks by, he will take the initiative to step forward, hand over the eyepiece to those who have passed by, and recommend.
Mr. Wang in the camera exhibition area is always in that spirit all day long. He greets people loudly and introduces them warmly when he sees them.
3.The sterilizing pen
The 5th is the first day of the expo. Before the end, Canon convened a small meeting with the employees participating in the exhibition to summarize the work of the day. It said that the entire venue was very hot today, and the air circulation was not very good. Canon is considering health protection matters for everyone during this work period.
When I came to the exhibition the next day, Mr. Zhang came to us with three small boxes as soon as the work started. Said that the company purchased a sterilizing pen last night and required us to hang it on the chest. Then carefully taught us how to use it.
Canon's care for its employees is reflected in this small sterilizing pen. This kind of love is worthy of everyone's gratitude. Hanging it on the chest will definitely absorb some dust around you, and the important thing is it feels really good. We came to exhibit and they treated us like a team member and didn't forget us, we have too.
4.The photos of U100 remote camera assistant products need to be retaken
After 4:00 pm on the first day on the 5th, several photographers from Canon who specialize in the shooting scene came to the camera exhibition area. Another photographer held a mobile phone with pictures in it, which was the U100 remote camera assistant. He told the photographers: ”please take photos of this product again.” He shows the photos in the mobile phone, and then point to the direction that the U100 remote camera assistant is in front of the forest.
I already guessed what was going on, and that was really moved.
The professional photographers on the shooting site should be hired by Canon, and they don’t necessarily know all the products. Of course, they are familiar with Canon’s cameras and video cameras. U100 remote camera assistant may not really know.
At the end of the day, the photos taken by the photographers will be sent to the cloud, which is an ornamental cloud specially set up for the Import Expo. People who may review, according to the previous arrangement, found that among the photos on the cloud, there are no photos of smart photographers. So I arranged for them to come and shoot specifically to make up for it.
Seeing this detail, dear readers, do you think I can't be moved?
5.Busy VR exhibition area
Canon has released a lens that can directly shoot VR movies, which is the first lens in the world that can directly shoot VR movies.
The VR exhibition area is at the forefront of the Canon exhibition area. As long as the guest pass by and visit the Canon exhibition hall, they will definitely see it and are very willing to experience it. It is the busiest in the entire exhibition hall, full of people.
I know the person in charge of the VR exhibition area. I came to the VR exhibition area several times and wanted to chat with him. I found that he didn't have time at all. He kept receiving visitors, wearing glasses with them, and explaining how to use.
I received a photography teacher from Shanghai. He liked the remote camera assistant very much. He said that this is a product he has been thinking about for many years, but he never thought that there is already a product similar to what he thought. Then, he said he wanted to see products that shoot VR. I took him to the VR exhibition area and asked the person in charge of VR to explain it to him.
I told the teacher that there are a lot of products for VR viewing and display. This is the back-end, but there are very few film sources because the post-production is very complicated. This lens from Canon solves the problem of film source shooting. The VR lens has a large wide angle, and it is relatively easy to shoot at a very close distance. It is relatively easy to shoot stage plays and event scenes. However, there are even fewer wildlife VR films, almost none. Shooting VR films of wild animals may really require the use of remote control shooting equipment such as the U100 remote camera assistant to shoot close-up without people.
The Canon brand is well-known that everyone knows this; Canon’s products are amazing, and everyone knows it well.
Through participating in the CIIE with Canon, I feel that it is Canon's culture and Canon's employees are dedication. Good people make good products, this is the root cause.
