Helping to turn the home office into a family room is the inclusion of Full HD Movie Print², which was introduced in mid-2010 with the Canon PIXMA Photo AIO printers. When using compatible Canon EOS and PowerShot HD Digital cameras, consumers can print individual frames of movies captured from scenes such as a child’s laugh or of a special holiday celebration which can be shared for years to come.

Canon has addressed the growing need to unlock memories from mobile devices with the free Easy-Photo Print application allowing images to be printed quickly and shared with friends and family. In the past, these memories would be trapped in the phone only to be shared when having the device in hand. Now, the opportunity is there for users of Android™ equipped mobile phones to unlock these moments with the Canon Easy-Photo Print for Android application available for download for free on the Android Market. For Apple iPod touch®, iPad®, and select iPhone® mobile device users, the Canon Easy-PhotoPrint for iPhone (iEPP) application⁹ is available for free on the App Store.^SM
