From the official filings:

  Business, both unit sales and sales amount, remained solid in the digital camera market as a whole due to strong sales of
  mid-to-high-end products.
• In the Imaging Products Business, the Group focused on expanding sales of mid-to-high-end products and interchangeable
  lenses targeted at professionals and hobbyists, especially Z8, Zf, newly released Z6III, and other Z series full-frame
  mirrorless cameras, resulting in strong sales. Accordingly, the business segment recorded year-on-year increases in both
  revenue and profit because of higher average unit selling prices backed by the improved product mix. As a result, the
  business segment recorded revenue of 151,791 million yen (up 10.2% year on year) and operating profit of 28,848 million
  yen (up 14.4% year on year).

  camera market is projected to remain solid, and we expect market growth, especially for mid- to high-end products.
