Broadcast-Grade Performance with a 22x Zoom Lens and 2.2-Megapixel U.L.T. Image Sensor
Packed with Panasonic Optical Technology
The high-performance zoom lens was developed specifically for
professional HD video production. While inheriting the wide-angle
capabilities of the DVX and HMC Series, it adds the same level of
operating ease as you'd expect from an interchangeable lens model
for broadcasting and other professional uses. Combining 18 lens
elements in 12 groups, this advanced lens unit further adds a UHR
(Ultra High Refractive) glass element, a low dispersion element and
aspherical lenses. In short, it raises resolution with the newest
optical technologies available. Zooming from 28mm to 616mm
(35mm equivalent), this 22x zoom lens covers a wide field of view,
from wide-angle to telephoto, without a conversion lens.
Three Manual Rings — Zoom, Focus, Iris
The lens unit is provided with three rings -- a mechanical
(cam-driven) zoom ring, a focus ring, and an iris ring. The positive
operating feel of these rings gives you manual control similar to an
interchangeable lens.
Optical Image Stabilizer, Digital Zoom, and ND Filter
• Hand-shake correction with the Optical Image Stabilizer (OIS).
• Digital Zoom function. It can be assigned to an user button and
close up to 2x, 5x, and 10x. In combination with the optical zoom,
this function provides a telephoto capability up to 220x.
• Four-position (OFF, 1/4 ND, 1/16 ND, 1/64 ND) optical neutral
density filter wheel.
