Bring life even closer with the new RF 75-300mm F4-5.6 telephoto zoom lens
With its amazing reach and flexible zoom range, the RF 75-300mm F4-5.6 provides creative freedom when shooting photos and video of subjects you can't physically get close to. Users can keep their distance to avoid disturbing wild animals and birds or zoom right into the action when photographing a sports event from the sidelines. The streamlined design lets users react quickly, with a large zoom ring requiring little more than a quarter of a turn to run through the entire zoom range.
At 300mm it's possible to get as close as 1.5m to fill the frame with detail, making this lens a practical solution for portraits of animals and people. The long zoom and wide, seven-blade aperture ensure superb separation between a sharp subject and blurred background for a refined look.
This classic entry-level, full-frame 75-300mm lens can be used on any camera equipped with Canon's advanced RF mount. Paired with an APS-C body such as the EOS R100, it delivers a more powerful 120-480mm effective reach to bring distant subjects even closer. Despite its extensive telephoto coverage, the lens weighs just 507g and is a compact 146.1mm in length when retracted. It's one of the lightest lenses in its class and ready to go anywhere, from local sport matches to remote nature reserves.
The versatile range of focal lengths, affordable pricing and outstanding portability of the RF 75-300mm F4-5.6 ensure that everyone is able to extend their reach and take their passion further.
Key features of the RF 75-300mm F4-5.6:
• Flexible 75-300mm focal length range for full-frame EOS R System cameras, extending to 120-480mm equivalent view on APS-C models
• 1.5 metre minimum focusing distance at 300mm for frame-filling detail
• Compact and lightweight design: Measures just 146.1mm in length when stored and weighs approximately 507g
• 7-blade circular aperture for beautiful background blur
• Super Spectra coating to reduce ghosting and flare

Omega Seiki Mobility to Invest AED92 Million in EV Assembly Plant at Dubai's Jafza
Omega Seiki Mobility (OSM), a leading Indian electric vehicle manufacturer, has announced the launch of its first overseas electric vehicle assembly plant in Dubai's Jebel Ali Free Zone (Jafza), committing AED92 million (US$25 million) over the next five years. The move aims to accelerate the company's global expansion and meet rising demand for low-emission transport in the Middle East and Africa. Covering 42,000 square feet, the facility will assemble OSM's range of electric two- and three-wheelers and serve as a storage and distribution hub for auto components and spare parts. Operations are expected to begin by the end of 2025, with the initial phase creating over 100 jobs. Strategically positioned to serve export markets, the plant will enhance UAE-India trade ties in clean technology. Abdulla Al Hashmi, COO of Parks & Zones at DP World GCC, said: With the MENA EV market projected to reach US$14.5 billion by 2029, this facility brings innovative mobility solutions closer to the region and underlines Dubai's role as a global hub for the automotive sector. OSM Founder and Chairman Uday Narang described the launch as a significant milestone, highlighting Jafza's connectivity to over two billion consumers and its enabling business environment. He added that the company's goal is to make clean mobility accessible and commercially viable for partners across the region. While OSM's immediate focus is on EVs, the company also plans to introduce CNG-powered models for select African markets as a transitional clean fuel option. Its flagship products, the OSM Rage+ cargo three-wheeler and OSM Stream passenger vehicle, offer ranges of up to 270 km, fast-charging and battery-swapping capabilities, and IoT-based fleet management features. With more than 160 dealerships in India and over 20,000 vehicles on the road, OSM is positioning Dubai as its global launchpad for clean transport solutions, reinforcing the emirate's role in shaping the region's sustainable mobility future.

Canon introduces subscription security services, providing robust protection for businesses
Dubai, UAE - Canon announced the launch of its new Subscription Security Services – a flexible, easy-to-manage service which delivers end to end security protection for businesses – helping to safeguard end point devices, documents and data. Building on Canon's robust print security offering, the new Subscription Security Services leverage cutting-edge technology and are available in two tiers: 'Enhanced Security' and the more comprehensive 'Premium Security'. Both tiers include robust device hardening, automated firmware updates, data backup, and secure data destruction as standard. The 'Premium Security' tier extends these capabilities with proactive device monitoring and management, real-time threat detection, rapid recovery and detailed security insights. With the average cost of a data breach sitting at $4.88 million in 2024, it is more critical than ever for a business to take action and protect themselves from vulnerabilities to safeguard their organisation for the future. Security essentials Canon's Subscription Security Services provide businesses with the foundations for managing and securing their print device fleets. This includes robust device hardening to ensure all print and scan devices on the network are protected under a unified security policy. Establishing consistent governance across all devices is a key step in addressing the often-overlooked area of print infrastructure security. Automated firmware updates ensure devices are always running the latest software, with patches applied to mitigate against any potential vulnerabilities, minimising the need for manual updates. This proactive approach helps organisations maintain confidence that devices are operating with the highest level of protection, while supporting business continuity by reducing potential disruption. Advanced protection As security risks continue to evolve, protecting large print and scan device fleets can become increasingly complex. The 'Premium Security' tier delivers advanced capabilities tailored for organisations with larger device networks, enabling proactive security management through continuous monitoring and optimisation. Businesses benefit from enhanced real-time threat detection where security issues are flagged as they occur, enabling quick reaction and the ability to implement the necessary safeguards. Rapid recovery capabilities also allow for fast restoration of compromised devices, reducing potential downtime. Canon continually tests and refines these services to ensure the appropriate security configurations, aligning these with rigorous guidelines to give businesses confidence in the protection they receive. Canon's Subscription Security Services seamlessly integrate with the security features in Canon's existing cloud solutions, such as Cloud Connector and uniFLOW Online. This strengthens end-to-end security and helps businesses minimise security risk. By adding Subscription Security Services, Canon provides businesses with flexible deployment options to meet their diverse and evolving security needs. Quentyn Taylor, Director of Information Security at Canon Europe comments: 'As security risks evolve and regulation tightens, businesses need a simpler, more effective way to protect their print fleet. With Canon's Subscription Security Services, we're providing comprehensive security capabilities, removing the complexity of device protection so businesses can feel confident they're receiving the right expertise and best-in-class security – regardless of their fleet size.'

Crypto scams are evolving; Here's how Binance is helping users stay safe
As cryptocurrency adoption grows rapidly across Ethiopia and the African continent, it is more important than ever for users to only trust official Binance ( channels for information, updates, and support. Scammers are using increasingly sophisticated methods, including AI-driven deepfakes and fake websites, to mislead users. Binance encourages its community to stay informed, secure, and vigilant by following essential safety practices. 'Staying safe in the world of cryptocurrency requires vigilance, education, and common sense,' says Samukele Mkhize, Binance's Africa Compliance/MLRO. 'By understanding how scams work and using trusted tools and official channels, Ethiopian and African users can enjoy crypto securely and confidently.' Important Tips to Protect Yourself on Binance Be Cautious of Unsolicited Messages One of the biggest red flags is receiving unsolicited messages from someone claiming to be from a cryptocurrency platform like Binance. No legitimate company will ever contact you directly to ask for money, personal details, or investment advice. Binance will never call you to request funds or account details. Always be sceptical of unsolicited offers, especially those that come with pressure to act quickly. Use Only Official Binance Channels Before making any financial decisions or taking action, double-check the information through official channels. For users in Ethiopia and Africa, that means relying on: The official website: The verified Binance app via Google Play or App Store Binance's official social media profiles and local Telegram communities Binance Academy for educational content: Avoid third-party websites such as: (Ethiopia), (Ghana) These sites are not affiliated with Binance and should not be trusted. Always ensure you're using crypto services that comply with local laws and regulations. Binance works closely with regulators to promote safe, legal access to digital assets. Avoid unlicensed platforms that may put your money, and personal data, at risk. Educate Yourself on Cryptocurrency A big part of staying safe is having a basic understanding of how cryptocurrencies and exchanges like Binance work. The more educated you are about the crypto world, the less likely you are to fall victim to scams. Binance Academy offers resources that explain the fundamentals of digital assets, blockchain technology, and safe trading practices. Trust Your Instincts If something feels off, it probably is. Scammers often create a sense of urgency, pushing you to make fast decisions or share personal information. A legitimate company will never rush you into making a financial decision. Take your time, ask questions, and don't be afraid to step back and evaluate the situation. Use Strong Security Measures Ensure that your crypto accounts are protected by strong passwords and two-factor authentication (2FA). This adds an extra layer of protection to your accounts, helping to keep your assets secure. Never share your private keys, passwords, or login information with anyone. Be Aware of Deepfakes and AI-Generated Content Scammers are increasingly using AI and deepfake technology to impersonate people, including executives from companies like Binance. These deep fakes can be very convincing, but remember that no real company representative will ask you to send money or invest in a project through video calls or social media DMs. Understand the Role of Crypto Platforms It's important to know that cryptocurrency platforms like Binance are tools for buying, selling, and managing digital assets. These platforms provide access to the crypto space, but they are not financial advisors. They don't offer investment advice or guarantee returns. If anyone claiming to be from a crypto platform offers investment advice or asks for money, it's likely a scam. Report Suspicious Activity See something off? Report it immediately through Binance Support ( and alert local law enforcement if needed. Keep Your Personal Information Private Finally, always be mindful of the information you share online. Scammers often target individuals who share excessive personal information or are overly trusting online. Be especially careful with your online presence, especially on social media. Binance is committed to working with African regulators to promote safe, compliant crypto access. Always avoid unlicensed services that could expose you to unnecessary legal or financial risks.
