CN-E18–80MM T4.4 L IS KAS S

INTRODUCING A NEW VIDEO SHOOTING STYLE FROM CANON

The COMPACT-SERVO 18–80mm T4.4 EF-mount lens† combines the benefits of compact size (3.68" W x 4.22" H x 7.18" L) and
light weight (2.65 lbs.) for improved mobility, supporting diverse video shooting styles and opening the door to the world of
imaging expression.

Designed to shoot video, this lens can be ideal for the cinematographer moving up from our EF lenses,
combining the functionality of our EF lenses with the 4K optical performance, usability and
video shooting features of our Cinema lenses. Acknowledging the need to control
zoom, focus and iris/aperture, Canon has developed this zoom
lens with full external servo control, and an optional ZSG-C10
grip designed exclusively for this lens makes it easier to
operate the lens, helping to support a wider range of
shooting styles such as shoulder mount ENG style.

The combination of the features and functionality of the
COMPACT-SERVO 18–80mm T4.4 EF makes it an ideal
choice for a wide range of professional video shooting
environments including drama, documentary and other
video productions.

LENS DESIGN OPTIMIZED FOR VIDEO ACQUISITION

Covers 18–80mm Focal Length with Servo Control Capability

The lens is equipped with an electronic zoom that delivers
smooth, quiet and stable zooming from high speed to low
speed across the entire 18–80mm zoom range. A conventional
broadcast-use controller can be used to control the zoom
when mounted to a tripod, expanding the possibilities of video
shooting. Focus is maintained throughout the zoom range
(parfocal), while the T-stop remains constant throughout entire
focal length range.

High-level 4K Optical Performance

Designed to fulfill contemporary 4K production standards, the
lens provides superb optical performance with 4K support
through the entire zoom range, from the center to the
perimeter of the image. The lens also features the same color
characteristics as our existing Cinema lenses.

No-step Iris Mechanism for Motion Picture Shooting

Smooth, no-step iris operation can be controlled manually or
electronically. The iris can be closed at the minimum
aperture. The lens also features a 9-blade iris diaphragm to
help create beautiful blur and soft shafts of light for
cinematographic expression.
