Canon is consulting on an anime production in Japan - Canon Watch

For photographers, watching television shows and movies can sometimes be frustrating because cameras are often inaccurate and characters almost never hold or use cameras with proper technique. That won't be a problem in the new Japanese anime "Just Because!" which will begin airing this week. One of the main characters is passionate about photography and the show's producers wanted her cameras and lenses to be accurate, so they employed the help of Canon. Her main camera is a Canon PowerShot G5X, but she can also be seen using a 7D Mark II, M6 and an EF 100-400mm lens. You can check out some animated Canon gear out in the trailer below.
