Canon to close its Irista service
Canon EMEA announced today that it will close its Irista Cloud Photo Service on 31 January 2020.
Canon EMEA is moving away from the cloud image storage industry and instead focuses on investing in its imaging technology and connected services that sit closely with its cameras, namely the Canon Image Gateway and Canon Camera Connect.
This allows Canon EMEA an opportunity to partner with specialists in end-user services,as such, Irista users can have a complimentary 2-month membership of Adobe Lightroom (1TB), where users can easily edit, organize, store and share photos from anywhere.
Customers are encouraged to download all data from Irista before the service ends. Downloading images is a simple process and the instructions are clearly outlined on the Irista website. Once the service expires on 31 January 2020, all customer data will be deleted.
