Canon is releasing a high-end L-series lens, the RF 20mm f/1.4 L VCM, a hybrid wide-angle prime lens that includes manual control of focus and aperture for use in video applications, and the Canon R50 V mirrorless camera, a compact, interchangeable RF lens mirrorless camera that is optimized for video content creation.

NEW YORK, March 26, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — B&H is pleased to share the EOS complement to the V-Series launch of the PowerShot V1 with the R50 V, a compact video-centric mirrorless camera, for creators eager to elevate their content with an interchangeable lens setup.

 

Weighing less than a pound in a hand-wieldable form factor, the camera sports a 24MP APS-C sensor and DIGIC X processor that shoots a cropped 4K60p and 4K30p with the sensor’s full width. Accompanying the R50 V camera release is a dedicated kit lens, the RF-S 14-30mm f/4-6.3 IS STM, available separately or bundled with the camera. Canon is also introducing a new wide angle prime lens, the RF 20mm f/1.4 L VCM for hybrid creators.

The Canon RF 20mm f/1.4 L VCM ultra-wide lens for hybrid creators is joining a growing lineup of hybrid lenses for Canon mirrorless systems and becoming the widest option of the set yet is the RF 20mm f/1.4 L VCM. Designed to satisfy both photographers and videographers’ needs, the Canon RF 20mm f/1.4 L VCM is a fast ultra-wide-angle prime lens with a function-first build that caters to the hybrid nature of modern image-making, emphasizing high image quality, responsive AF, minimized focus breathing, and intuitive, silent, and customizable handling.

The Canon RF 20mm f/1.4 L VCM lens featuring voice coil motor affords quiet, precise autofocus ideal for use in video, with multiple lens elements and coatings to correct for aberrations and glare. The weather-resistant lens has a 7.9″ minimum focus distance, takes 67mm front filters, and has a user-programmable function button. The lens’s wide aperture and field of view make it ideal for low-light and low depth-of-field use with landscapes, architecture, astrophotography, and even action photography.

The Canon RF 20mm f/1.4 lens comes with a newly released dedicated lens hood, EW-73H, to minimize glare and stray light and give additional protection against impact.

While the R50 V mirrorless camera does carry over much of its spec sheet from the original R50, the camera’s shift in design philosophy is immediately visible and it accentuates the new camera’s video-first approach. The body has shifted to a brick-like building block design, with sleek, rounded corners, a front record button, and—perhaps most important for content creators—a second, 1/4″-20 thread for mounting the camera in a vertical orientation.

The software doubles the hardware’s vertical optimization with shooting and playback available in the vertical orientation, along with auto level display during video recording.

To the predecessor’s video capabilities, the R50 V camera adds the cropped 4K60p video, along with Slow and Fast modes for creative control over frame rate and playback speed, improved subject detection in autofocus including Register People Priority, advanced video features such as Canon Log 3, and automatic exposure and scene modes for creators like Close-Up Demo and Smooth Skin.

The multi-function accessory shoe supports both LPCM 24-bit, 4-channel audio when fitted with a compatible microphone along with an external flash when used for photography. Wi-Fi and Bluetooth capabilities allow image transfer and review via smartphone, and remote operation when used with the Camera Connect app. The camera also has remarkable versatility in live streaming, offering four different modes of connection to computers, smartphones, and switchers.

While a video-first camera, the R50 V still offers up to 15 fps continuous shooting for photographers. It takes a UHS-II SD card and is compatible with the full suite of Canon RF lenses.

To complement the R50 V, Canon is releasing an optimized kit lens, the RF-S 14-30mm f/4-6.3 IS STM, available separately or bundled with the camera. A video-friendly lens, its 22-48mm full-frame equivalence comes with power zoom functionality, built-in optical stabilization, and a lead-screw type STM focusing motor for quiet and precise autofocus. It has a 5.9″ minimum focusing distance, making it useful in a wide range scenes and situations.

Académie D’Investissement Triomphal Deploys IA 6.0 de Stratégie Quantitative Intelligent Led by Henri Lumière

Published

on

By

Académie D’Investissement Triomphal launches a new AI-powered learning platform designed to enhance critical thinking, decision modeling, and interdisciplinary strategy education.

PARIS, April 27, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — The Académie d’Investissement Triomphal, led by renowned educator Henri Lumière, announces the full integration of the IA 6.0 de Stratégie Quantitative Intelligent system into its teaching framework. This milestone reflects the Academy’s growing commitment to leveraging artificial intelligence not as a tool for prediction, but as a catalyst for thought, modeling, and reflection across disciplines.

IA 6.0 is not a trading algorithm — it is a modular educational engine designed to simulate complex scenarios, adapt to user learning styles, and help students visualize strategic outcomes through cognitive modeling. It is now embedded across selected course modules, from system dynamics and decision theory to behavioral response mapping and strategic simulations.

“AI should not replace human thought — it should challenge it,” said Henri Lumière, founder of the Academy. “With IA 6.0, our goal is not automation, but augmentation. We want learners to experiment, to doubt, and to design strategies that take ambiguity seriously.”

Built with a hybrid architecture of machine learning models and logic-based scenario trees, IA 6.0 enables students to:

Model multi-variable systems in real-time and receive feedback on logical coherence;

Explore cause-effect loops and pattern recognition in strategic environments;

Engage in simulated decision-making under uncertainty;

Reflect on non-financial applications of AI such as urban planning, social systems design, and educational forecasting.

The integration of IA 6.0 is accompanied by a learning lab environment where students, mentors, and researchers can co-develop new applications of the engine. Future versions of IA 6.X will include modules focused on ethics in algorithm design, human-AI collaboration, and narrative-based simulation logic.

This innovation is part of a broader educational reform agenda being driven by the Académie d’Investissement Triomphal, which seeks to position itself as a European center for cognitive, ethical, and systems-oriented education — with AI as a partner, not a substitute.

Chameleon Finance has announced the launch of its institutional-grade trading suite, introducing high-frequency execution tools, advanced order types, and integrated compliance protocols to meet the rising demand from professional investors and asset managers in the digital asset space.

SEATTLE, April 27, 2025 /PRNewswire-PRWeb/ — Chameleon Finance, a rapidly growing financial technology firm specializing in digital asset infrastructure, has launched a new institutional trading suite designed to meet the evolving needs of hedge funds, family offices, proprietary trading firms, and traditional financial institutions entering the cryptocurrency market.

The newly released suite includes a range of advanced features such as algorithmic order execution, programmable trading bots, real-time market surveillance, and risk analytics tools. Built on a high-performance matching engine capable of processing thousands of transactions per second, the system ensures ultra-low latency for high-volume traders while maintaining regulatory-grade security protocols.

To support institutional clients in navigating compliance complexities, Chameleon Finance has embedded tools that assist with know-your-customer (KYC), anti-money laundering (AML), and transaction monitoring requirements. The platform also includes customizable reporting dashboards to facilitate internal audits, regulatory submissions, and performance reviews.

Key to the rollout is the introduction of API-first architecture, allowing clients to integrate Chameleon Finance’s trading infrastructure directly into their proprietary systems and trading desks. The platform supports FIX, WebSocket, and REST protocols to ensure compatibility with a wide range of financial software environments.

The institutional suite also offers deep liquidity access across multiple trading pairs, including major cryptocurrencies, stablecoins, and tokenized assets. Aggregated order books provide seamless execution across both centralized exchanges and decentralized liquidity pools, maximizing trade efficiency and reducing slippage for large orders.

To safeguard client assets, the platform implements multi-tier custody solutions that combine cold wallet storage with insured, third-party custodial services. All funds are secured through multi-signature access and daily reconciliation protocols, ensuring institutional-level protection and operational transparency.

The launch comes amid a surge in institutional interest in digital assets, driven by rising mainstream adoption, regulatory clarity, and the increasing sophistication of crypto market infrastructure. Asset managers and institutional traders are actively seeking platforms that offer the speed, reliability, and compliance capabilities required for high-volume operations.

Chameleon Finance is also introducing a dedicated account management and onboarding team to support institutional clients with integration, strategy implementation, and technical support. These services are designed to reduce entry barriers for traditional financial players looking to diversify their portfolios into digital assets.

The introduction of the institutional suite is part of a broader strategic expansion that includes upcoming derivatives products, cross-margin trading capabilities, and digital asset lending services. These developments are aimed at reinforcing Chameleon Finance’s position as a comprehensive, future-ready platform for professional digital asset investors.

By delivering infrastructure that aligns with institutional standards, Chameleon Finance is contributing to the maturation of the digital asset ecosystem and accelerating the convergence of traditional and decentralized finance.
