  1. Full Auto Ref-Keratometer

Reason

Potential variations in values measured in the Ref mode (Refractive Power) were reported with respect to the firmware included in RK-F2 Full Auto Ref-Keratometer. Canon Inc. has determined that there are potential variations in the optical system switching time between the Alignment Motor and Measurement Period and, therefore, fluctuations in measurement values may occur. Canon Inc. will resolve this potential issue by upgrading the firmware in the RK-F2 Auto Ref-Keratometer.
