Canon’s New HDgc Lenses

for Sony’s XDCAM HD

Whether you own or plan to buy the Sony PDW-F350 or the PDW-F330
XDCAM HD Camcorder, you’ll want to make sure there’s a new Canon
HDgc lens out in front. HDgc lenses combine the best features of Canon’s
remarkable lens technologies to deliver HD optical quality and other
higher-end advancements. The HDgc line’s lenses for 1/2-inch CCD
cameras include: the KH21ex5.7 IRSE (telephoto lens), the
KH10ex3.6 IRSE (wide-angle lens), and the KH16ex5.7 IRSE
(standard lens). Canon’s exclusive Digital “eDrive” is
included in all three of these lenses, and is
a principal difference (along with zoom
speed range and a built-in 2X extender)
between these models and the more
economical 1/2-inch KH20x6.4 KRS
and KH19x6.7 KAS lenses.

Canon’s New HDgc Lenses Let You Maximize The Potential Of Your Sony XDCAM HD

Canon’s exclusive eDrive provides nine user-definable function

profiles; a choice of manual, digitally assisted, or fully programmed
control; and instant “Shuttle Shot” to zoom to the longest focal length
for quick check of focus and back focus. Digitally assisted shooting
techniques offered by Canon’s eDrive include graceful “padded” zoom
start/stops so that zooms begin and end softly and without jerkiness.
