Shoot closer, shoot wider. Improved mobility for camera crews in diverse situations.
• When covering news stories on-site, camera crews must work with a limited supply of equipment and react rapidly to various changes in
subject distance and focal length.
The HJ17ex6.2B is capable of adapting exibly to all manner of lming situations, whether shooting in close proximity to a subject or
shooting close-ups of a subject from far away, without the need for changing lenses, thanks to its short M.O.D., extra-wide angle, 17x
magni cation, and built-in 2x extender.
• For production of documentaries, the HJ17ex6.2B enables vivid shooting even when ultra-close to the subject to make the scene come
alive, or shooting in small rooms where distance from the subject cannot be attained,
• The HJ17ex6.2B is a single lens capable of exible operation, enabling the improved versatility required by camera crews, maximum
cost- and performance-efficiency for productions, and a wide range of expressive possibilities.
Superb optical performance. Wider focal length.
• With focal lengths ranging from wide-end to tele-end, and at subject distances ranging from in nite distance to extreme closeup (in which
case optical performance generally suffers), the HJ17ex6.2B minimizes optical aberration across the entire screen and exhibits superb
optical performance throughout the eld.
• The HJ17ex6.2B provides the same magni cation (17x) as our well-established HDTV production lens, the HJ17ex7.6B, while achieving a
wider focal length of 6.2mm.
• M.O.D. has been shortened by approximately 30% (0.4m) compared to the HJ17ex7.6B.
