Eyeballing the autofocus: Canon brings back Eye Control to cameras


Canon brings back a feature from the 90's: Eye Control, which lets users focus on an object simply by looking at it the viewfinder. — Canon/dpa

Once upon a time in the 1990s, Canon cameras used to let you focus on an object simply by looking at it. But because the camera couldn't always detect exactly where you're eye was looking, this controversial feature soon disappeared again.

Now, the Canon EOS R3 is bringing back this polarizing feature, hated and loved by many veteran photographers. The company says this yet-to-be-released professional shooter will be given this feature under a new name: Eye Control.
