Olympus Corp. forecast a return to profit for its camera unit next fiscal year as sales of mirrorless models increase.
Annual sales of mirrorless models will rise to 1 million units as early as in the year starting April, reaching 5 percent share of the global market, Chief Executive Officer Hiroyuki Sasa said in an interview in Tokyo yesterday. Achieving that level of sales will bring about 7 billion yen ($68 million) in operating profit, he said.
