Canon is also announcing a new remote switch, the RS-80E3. Additionally, Canon is making two of its full-frame EOS R-series cameras, the R6 Mark II and the R8, available preloaded with Canon's cropping guide firmware.
The Canon EL1V2 EL-1 Version 2 has a range of 24-200mm with a fast-recycling time of 0.9 seconds. It also features an improved user interface with a new LCD panel, a menu system with simplified options and control layout, as well as a new joystick controller. A new active cooling system improves thermal management, enabling longer operation times, and its power-output range, from 1/8192 to 1/1, provides versatile and power-saving settings when needed.
Previously released on EOS R cameras with APS-C sensors, Canon's Cropping Guide firmware offers four different in-camera cropping guides that cover typical high-volume portraiture framing. The cropping guides can be shown on both the LCD and EVF of the cameras and will help photographers achieve the consistent framing and sizing needed when shooting large numbers of portraits that require minimal editing and quick delivery.
Ideal for studio and tripod-mounted setups, the new wired RS-80E3 remote switch is compatible with any mirrorless camera with an E3 (2.5mm mini jack plug) accessory port.
Bought together, the new flash, wired remote trigger, and full-frame camera with cropping guide firmware form an excellent starting package for high-volume photography.

Jetour launches local assembly operations in Malaysia, signalling strong commitment to ASEAN growth
JETOUR Auto Malaysia has officially launched local assembly for its popular SUV models, the Jetour Dashing and VT9, at the Berjaya Assembly Sdn. Bhd. (B-Assembly) plant in Tampoi, Johor Bahru. The commencement of production at this facility marks a major milestone in the company's regional strategy and reflects its deepening commitment to the Malaysian automotive industry. The local assembly takes place within B-Assembly's expansive 640,000 square foot manufacturing site, supported by a dedicated workforce of over 100 staff. This operation positions Malaysia not only as a key production base but also as a strategic distribution centre for Jetour's ASEAN operations. The initiative is closely aligned with the Malaysian government's vision for a more localised, technologically advanced, and job-generating automotive sector. Jetour International's Vice President, Wen Qiangkang, described the development as a vital step in the brand's long-term investment in Malaysia. He explained that assembling the Dashing and VT9 domestically represents more than just a manufacturing expansion — it is also a strategic investment in local talent, innovation, and future mobility. Fu Yong, Chief Executive Officer of Jetour Malaysia, echoed these sentiments, emphasising that the rollout of Malaysian-assembled vehicles reinforces Jetour's promise to deliver high-quality, innovative, and customer-centric vehicles to the local market. He added that the partnership with B-Assembly has established a solid foundation for Jetour's broader expansion across Southeast Asia. Since its debut in Malaysia in early 2025, Jetour has expanded its footprint swiftly, establishing over 20 retail outlets across the country. The introduction of local production is expected to significantly improve delivery lead times and enhance product value for Malaysian consumers. This is seen as a critical move as Jetour ramps up its localisation efforts to meet growing market demand. B-Assembly, a wholly owned subsidiary of Berjaya Assets Berhad, has been selected as Jetour's official production partner in Malaysia. The facility is equipped with Industry 4.0-compliant systems, a testament to the shared commitment of both companies towards advanced manufacturing standards, efficiency, and sustainable practices. Dato' Tony Khor, Advisor to B-Assembly, affirmed the group's dedication to supporting Malaysia's automotive development and expressed pride in being a strategic partner in this venture. Currently, production efforts at the plant are centred around the Jetour Dashing and VT9 models. The Dashing, styled for urban mobility with a sleek fastback design and smart technology features, has resonated strongly with city drivers. Meanwhile, the VT9, offering a spacious 7-seat configuration and intelligent convenience systems, is designed to appeal to families and long-distance travellers. More than 1,000 units have already been produced, with local deliveries of the Dashing beginning in June 2025, followed closely by the VT9. Looking ahead, Jetour has pledged an investment of approximately RM1.4 billion in Malaysia to expand its local production capabilities. This includes plans to introduce additional locally assembled models and initiate exports to neighbouring ASEAN countries. The brand is poised to continue expanding its regional presence by accelerating the rollout of localised models and deepening its penetration into the Southeast Asian market.

TECO Electric & Machinery and Hon Hai Technology Group Announce Strategic Alliance Targeting AI Data Center Capabilities
TAIPEI, July 30, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — TECO Electric & Machinery Co Ltd ('TECO') (TWSE:1504) and Hon Hai Technology Group ('Foxconn') (TWSE:2317) held a major press conference today (30th) at the Taiwan Stock Exchange to announce a strategic alliance through a board-approved share exchange. This partnership combines TECO's strengths in electromechanical systems with Foxconn's expertise in ICT to seize the global trend of AI data center development toward standardization and modularization, jointly tapping into vast AI data center (AIDC) business opportunities worldwide. Going forward, the strategic alliance will explore the possibility of expanding cooperation in Foxconn's '3+3+3' areas. According to terms approved by both boards, respectively, TECO will take a 0.519% stake in Foxconn. In turn, Foxconn will own 10% in TECO. The latter will issue 237,644,068 new shares to Foxconn, and Foxconn will issue 72,481,441 new shares to TECO, implying a share exchange ratio of approx. 1 to 0.305. The no-cash transaction is targeted to complete in the fourth quarter of this year, conditional on regulatory approvals. Since a data center is mainly composed of equipment inside the computer room (servers, cooling systems, UPS, etc.) and power infrastructure outside the computer room, the strategic alliance integrates the combined strengths each bring in their respective fields of AI servers, electromechanics, and information and communications. Target markets cover Taiwan and Asia, as well as the Middle East and the US. TECO Chairman Morris Li said, 'Changing global dynamics are creating new opportunities for business and cooperation. The strategic partnership extends the two companies' cooperation in the fields of low-carbon smart factories and energy services, toward being a one-stop solution for data centers going forward. Texas-based TECO-Westinghouse, a longstanding world leader in manufacturing electric motors, has the advantages of American manufacturing and local services. Together with Foxconn's manufacturing base in the United States, it is in line with the strategic direction of the two companies to expand American manufacturing and reshape the global supply chain.' Foxconn Chairman Young Liu said, 'Time-to-market is key in the global super-computing race. Modular design is gaining popularity. As AI data centers grow in size and demand ramps higher, teaming up with TECO means both companies are able to level up and rapidly deliver comprehensive, vertically-integrated solutions to our customers – the Tier-1 CSPs and hyperscalers.'
