PL Mount Lenses

A Revolution in Digital Cinematography

Canon Embraces

3D High Definition

Canon is proud to debut two advanced-design 4K PL-Mount lenses specifically developed to support high-end digital motion imaging. These precision matched lenses ensure the very highest performance in contemporary 2K and HD digital 35mm motion imaging, while definitively future proofing the transition to 4K production.

In seeking the highest 4K image performance, the new lens design platform had to simultaneously optimize those parameters that enhance the imaging attributes, while also minimizing the various optical aberrations and distortions that might degrade the image. New optical materials, new optical coatings, and new design techniques were all mobilized to develop an important advance in overall optical performance. Highly advanced computer simulation, that could cope with the hundreds of thousands of design variables, allowed an unprecedented degree of optimization of all contributing imaging parameters. This sophisticated new optical platform ensured the closest performance matching between the two lenses, minimized alterations to that performance with changes in scene object distances, and physically produced more compact and lightweight products than contemporary PL mount lenses. In addition, a totally new focus system design has virtually eliminated focus breathing.

Feature Film Origination

In the wide lens, the T2.6 maximum aperture stays totally constant over the entire focal range, and combined with the virtual absence of focus breathing, will be a boon to cinematographers.

The superb contrast and overall picture sharpness will maximize the video creation capabilities of the current top-of-the-line digital single-sensor cameras. The telephoto lens will complement the wide in larger studios while also creating a flexible range of outdoor shots with exceptional imagery.

Anticipating the boom in popularity of 3D, Canon has been actively engaged with HD camera manufacturers, 3D rig specialists, and enterprising content creators presently exploring 3D program origination in moviemaking, as well as television coverage of sports, concerts, and special events. Recognizing the importance of 3D program origination, Canon gave priority to adoption of most of the standard HD lens series for 3D production systems.

3D Lens Solutions

A pioneer in the development of precision Digital Drive Units for its portable lenses, Canon's 3D control systems for lens-camera pairs capitalize on the ability to synchronize the servo control systems within the pair, and to then use the associated menu system to enter correction data that ensures precision tracking for their respective zoom, iris, and focus operations. A simple 20pin - 20pin 3D bridge cable interconnects the stereoscopic lens pair, and special 3D software loaded into the two Digital drive Units performs the requisite synchronization. A single Zoom controller connected to one lens will then simultaneously control the zoom action of both lenses. Similarly, a single Focus controller connected to the other lens will simultaneously control the focus operation of both lenses. The 3D software can be installed into most standard Canon lenses at Canon service centers.

3D Lens Controllers

A special attraction of Canon's synchronous lens control system is the use of standard rather than specialized controllers. When the 3D software is installed in the lens drive units, all standard servo controllers for zoom and focus will be fully compatible with Canon's stereoscopic lens-pair, thus facilitating a significant cost-saving when deploying standard lenses for 3D acquisition systems.

System Configuration

Television Drama and Television Commercial Production

The focal ranges offered by the combination of these two lenses will flexibly address most of the needs of contemporary high-end television production. Television drama, music videos, and television commercial production - all will achieve enhancements to their storytelling as a consequence of short depth of field, high sensitivity, superb contrast ratio, and excellent picture sharpness.

*1 BDC-10 conversion cable is necessary to connect between ZDJ-D02 or FDJ-D02 (18pin) and Digital Drive Lens (20pin). *2 BDC-20 conversion cable is necessary to connect between ZDJ-P01 or FDJ-P01 (12pin) and Digital Drive Lens (20pin).

The BU-46H and BU-51H also feature “Night Mode.” The shutter speed is slowed down to a minimum of 1/4 (60i, 30F) or 1/3 (50i, 25F, 24F), allowing frame accumulation that elevates camera sensitivity.

DIGISUPER 22xs

HD Compact Studio Lens

DIGISUPER 27AF and

DIGISUPER 27 Auto-Focus Option

About 1/3the Weight of Standard Studio Lenses.

Responding to increasing use of portable HD

cameras in studios, Canon invented the

entirely new product category of the HD

Compact Studio Lens with the introduction of

the DIGISUPER 22xs (model XJ22x7.3B IE-D).

Scaled for Portable HD Cameras

The perfect complement to portable HD

cameras configured for studio use, the

DIGISUPER 22xs is engineered to be compact

and lightweight.

Superb HD Optical Performance

The DIGISUPER 22xs offers higher contrast

and resolution compared with portable HD

lenses, but at the same time reduces Focus

Breathing to a zero level.

Studio Operation

By adopting an “Encoder Servo System,” the

maximum servo speed has been improved to

Zoom: 0.5 sec., Focus: 1.5 sec. Also, the

DIGISUPER 22xs HD Compact Studio Lens'

new encoder system enables it to be easily

integrated into virtual studio applications.

Status at a Glance

The DIGISUPER 22xs is equipped with an informational display, which enables the easy and precise use of diverse digital functions.

Controllability

The DIGISUPER 22xs can be used with Canon's current Studio/Field lens controllers as well as those for Canon ENG lenses. The DIGISUPER 22xs HD Compact Studio Lens also offers compatibility with our new digital demands by use of a conversion cable.

The DIGISUPER 27 and DIGISUPER 27AF HD studio lenses (models XJ27x6.5B and XJ27x6.5B AF, respectively) deliver unprecedented performance for HD studio production applications. Both provide the widest angle of any lenses available, a focal length (zoom ratio) of 6.5mm to 180mm, and newly developed multi-layer optical coatings that dramatically reduce ghosting and flaring. Both also offer Canon's optional BWA-271 0.9x Wide Attachment, the industry's first wide-angle attachment for an HD studio lens. This “zoom-through” Wide Attachment enables users to begin with a wide shot and go telephoto without compromising light transmission. This feature alters the range of the zoom on wide settings by ten percent toward the wide side, making a new zoom range of 5.85mm to 162mm.

Other innovations in the DIGISUPER 27 and DIGISUPER 27AF HD studio lenses include a servo-zoom speed of 0.5 seconds and a new optional remote-controllable macro-focus feature that allows the camera operator to perform macro focusing from the pan bar (a helpful tool for focusing on jewelry and other small objects).

Auto Focus Optimized for the HD Studio

The DIGISUPER 27AF HD studio lens delivers the benefits of Canon’s Auto Focus technology to the HD studio environment. Utilizing sophisticated Auto Focus capabilities based on a proprietary HD implementation of Through-the-Lens Secondary Image Registration Phase Detection Method technology, the DIGISUPER 27AF HD lens is optimized for studio use. The tremendous picture detail contained in HDTV makes anything in less-than-perfect focus immediately obvious. The DIGISUPER 27AF HD studio lens assists camera operators in ensuring that sharpest focus on a chosen scene subject is achieved each and every time.

HJ14EX4.3B IRSE/IASE

Wide Angle HD Lens

After nearly a decade of advances in its world-renowned

optical R&D - and ongoing dialogue with hands-on users worldwide - Canon has introduced the evolutionary next-step in high definition imaging: the HJ14ex4.3B IRSE/IASE wide-angle portable HDTV lens. Totally new and unique in its design, the HJ14 is the product of Canon's very latest optical design tools, newly developed glass elements, and highly advanced optical coatings. In addition, the HJ14's newly developed Digital Drive unit provides improved operability and ergonomic advances for user comfort and convenient control of lens functions.

Wide, Advanced Optical Performance

Canon's HJ14 wide-angle portable HDTV lens features a minimum focal length of 4.3mm and an angular field of view of 96.3° at the wide end of the 16:9 HDTV aspect ratio. This optical performance is combined with a 14x zoom range reaching to 60mm (120mm with extender), which greatly expands creative options for the acquisition of crystal-clear, and virtually distortion-free HDTV video images.

Improved Operability, Digital Drive, and Lighter Weight

Employing free-form curves based on the shape of human hands, Canon mechanically redesigned its new Digital Drive unit to be more ergonomically friendly, making it narrower and shorter, and opening more space for manual focusing. It also features newly developed coatings and a new rubber grip support for a better tactile interface. The overall result is the enhancement of user interface and the reduction of stress and fatigue, especially during prolonged shooting. The HJ14ex4.3B also employs a smaller hood, which helps the camera operator view more of the actual scene.

HJ15EX8.5B KRSE-V

Image Stabilized EFP HDTV Lens

Canon's HJ15ex8.5B is the world's first HDTV portable 2/3inch zoom lens with a built-in Optical Image Stabilizer. Designed to maintain stable images even when the lens-camera is subject to jolts and vibrations, the HJ15ex8.5B KRSE-V uses Canon's patented Vari-Angle Prism image-stabilizer (VAP-IS) technology. Its high degree of compensation is sustained all the way from telephoto to wide-angle settings. This is of particular importance considering the extreme image detail associated with HD acquisition. This unique technology greatly extends flexibilities in EFP shooting on location - all within a compact high-performance lens to weigh in at only 4.4 lbs.

Canon's Vari-Angle Prism technology entails a novel optical group made up of two flat glass elements and a sealed bellows containing a high refractive index liquid, selectively placed within the lens overall optical system. Physical perturbations to the lens, in the form of jolts or vibrations, flex the bellows proportional to the amplitude of these disturbances. The associated distortion of the liquid instantaneously alters the direction of the transmitted light rays in a manner designed to counter the incoming light ray displacements created by these disturbances. The system has been optimized to introduce a highdegree of real-time compensation for image instabilities arising from all forms of lens-camera operational unsteadiness.

The HJ15ex8.5 B KRSE-V is ideally suited for diverse challenging outdoor shooting situations because it can stabilize a broad range of vibration frequencies. Examples range from the low-frequency vibrations encountered on a camera operator's shoulder in a crowd situation, to tripod-mounted operation on shaky platforms, to the higher-frequency vibration that cameras are subject to when operated on vehicles, motorbikes, boats, or helicopters. Four selectable stabilization modes are available to facilitate optimization of the degree of correction under diverse, and sometimes unique, shooting conditions.

The effectiveness of the image stabilization system was highlighted in the coverage by a major European production company of the Tour de France, whose camera operator was shooting hand-held from a motorbike pillion, and consistently delivered rock-steady close-ups of the cyclists even on very uneven roads.
