Whether you own or plan to buy the Sony PDW-F
350
or the PDW-F
330
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 KH
21
ex
5.7
IRSE (telephoto lens), the
KH
10
ex
3.6
IRSE (wide-angle lens), and the KH
16
ex
5.7
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
2
X extender)
between these models and the more
economical
1/2
-inch KH
20
x
6.4
KRS
and KH
19
x
6.7
KAS lenses.
Canon’s exclusive Shuttle Shot function
(available on the
KH
20
x
6.4
KRS), an advanced servo system that facilitates zooming
back and forth between any two focal length positions
and brings an entirely new range of value-
added creativity to hand-held acquisition
systems. The KH
19x6.7
KAS lens
is compatible with Sony’s
Auto-Focus system.
A new ergonomic drive unit
a new, smaller drive unit that not only
comfortably fits into the palm of the
user’s hand, but also improves the
feeling of unity between the drive unit
and your hand. These drive units,
featuring a grip
support and
ribbed surface,
are tilted at an
ideal angle in
order to
achieve a
better balance
and to provide
more comfort
and reduce
operator fatigue.
Canon’s innovative technology
enhancing optical performance and
user benefits.
Well-Controlled MTF
(Modulation Transfer Function)
plus excellent contrast performance
over their entire respective image
planes, and minimized chromatic
aberrations.
Compact design
lightweight in direct response to the equally
compact new tapeless HD camcorders.
Minimizing environmental impact
Canon is manufacturing all of its
lenses, including the new HDgc models, without lead, cadmium, mercury,
and other toxins as part of the company's policy to minimize the impact
on the environment.

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.
Canon’s eDrive provides for memorized focus and zoom positions,
repeatable focus with no mechanical play or gear backlash, steady and
slow zoom creeps, and one-button on/off.
