Named “CP+” (pronounced [see-pea-plus]), the event address every aspect of photo imaging entertainment from shooting to viewing and sharing.

Together with three other industry organizations, CIPA has had a series of Photo Imaging Expo (PIE) events in Japan for the past five years, but the event ceased in March 2009. CIPA has decided to create its own event in order to pursue its desire of widely spreading the thrilling and newest photo imaging entertainment culture along with relevant information originated in Japan, one of the epicenters of the global photographic industry.

Receiving generous support from the city of Yokohama and the cultural facilities in and around the city, “CP+” is also expected to be an event which will promote and develop the photography and image culture from throughout Yokohama.

Today, the camera is almost exclusively designed for, and marketed to, adults.  A typical consumer digital camera comes with a sleek silver or black exterior and is densely packed with components and features.  If one tries to open up one of these devices to study its innards, it is unlikely to function when put back together.  We believe that camera manufacturers have largely overlooked an important demographic in kids and a compelling application in education.

Bigshot: A Camera for Education

A camera designed for kids can be much more than just a toy: it can serve as a powerful educational medium.  We believe that such an educational camera must have a radically different design from that of a typical consumer camera.   (a) It should be designed as a kit for assembly by students.  The assembly process should not only demystify the workings of the camera, but also expose students to various science and engineering concepts.  (b) It should include features that cannot be found in other cameras, allowing students to explore new creative dimensions.   (c) It should be low-cost, with the potential to serve as the basis for a scalable social venture.  Bigshot has been designed with these goals in mind.

Thanks to its electronic interface (CPU), these new ZEISS lenses support all-important operations such as the automatic mechanisms for time, aperture setting and program. The CPU also supports manual exposure settings, including those for camera casings that are not AI-compatible. Since the lens now transmits the EXIF data such as manufacturer, date, metering system and exposure to the camera, photographers no longer need to set the parameters manually. These quicker and faster handling capabilities of the ZF.2 lenses are especially useful under hectic shooting conditions.

ZEISS lenses truly come into their own in situations that demand extreme photographic creativity and maximum image quality. Carl Zeiss’ established fixed focal length lenses are known for their high light sensitivity and precise manual handling, leaving the photographer in full control. The new ZF.2 series will be especially interesting for photo enthusiasts who value creative, high-quality images combined with the comfort of automatic settings.

Martin Klottig, Marketing Manager of the Camera Lens Division at Carl Zeiss AG: “The ZF.2 lenses are ideal tools for photographers who want to concentrate more on the subject than on their camera equipment. Whether at a wedding, a toddler’s first steps or impressions from faraway countries, these lenses are perfect for photographers who want to capture once-only moments quickly and accurately. These situations demand first-class technology that captures spontaneous actions without too much effort and delivers fantastic images each time.”

Photography is a visual medium and so it made sense to combine the reach of the internet with the visual impact of videos.
