HJ24ex7.5B

Portable HD lens that leads the world of broadcast imaging with a 24x

Canon's technology and knowledge accumulated over many years has resulted in the creation of the HJ24ex7.5B HD portable telephoto zoom lens. In addition to the improvements in optical performance, the lens is even more compact and lightweight with a better-balanced centre of gravity, and incorporates a new type of Drive Unit to achieve dramatically improved operability and ease-of-use.

Features

World's widest angle and highest zoom ratio in its class (as of February 1, 2015)

The HJ24ex7.5B offers specifications that are a dramatic improvement over its predecessor: a focal range from 7.5mm at the wide end to 180mm at the tele end, along with a 24x zoom ratio. A breakthrough lens delivering the world's widest angle and highest zoom ratio in its class*, the HJ24ex7.5B is ideally situated for many applications, including news, sports, and documentaries. (*Among portable zoom lenses for 2/3" HD cameras with zoom ratios of 20x or more that are suitable for ENG-style shooting. Current as of February 1, 2015.)

Advanced optical performance

The new HJ24ex7.5B not only builds on the outstanding optical performance of its predecessor, but extends optical performance still further. It delivers a wider angle and higher zoom ratio, while at the same time providing excellent aberration correction over the entire zoom range for sharper and clearer images. The combination of excellent specifications and high image quality makes possible a broad range of expression.

New Drive Unit

The HJ24ex7.5B incorporates a new and enhanced Drive Unit. The new high-performance encoder supports communication with 2/3" HDTV cameras equipped with aberration correction functionality, without initializing the lens. Three 20-pin connectors enable high-definition virtual video output even during full-servo operation. In addition, reduced power consumption and the new simplified display mode (Basic Mode) enhance operability.
