Canon Technologies Raise the Standard
Genuine Canon
Video Lens
Image quality starts with optics, and only
Canon professional camcorders deliver
the many benefits of Canon's world-
renowned lens technologies. Genuine
Canon Professional L-series camcorder
lenses incorporate Fluorite and Ultra-Low-
Dispersion elements plus SR multi-coating
to ensure outstanding resolution and
contrast with minimal chromatic aberration.
The choice of professionals the world over,
Canon L-series lenses deliver a level of image
quality throughout the entire zoom range
unmatched by conventional optics. The
standard 20x zoom covers an exceptionally
wide and useful range of focal lengths,
perfect for a wide range of shooting
situations.

Fast, Responsive Zoom Control
With an ergonomically designed ring shape
and increased speed, the zoom control on
Canon professional camcorders starts and
stops with exceptional smoothness and
provides a comprehensive array of options.
The zoom can be controlled in 3 different
ways – the lens zoom
ring, grip zoom lever
or handle zoom lever
(for low-angle shots).
Select from among
3 basic zoom speed
ranges and fine-tune
the zooming with 16
levels of speed control.
With the Genuine
Canon 20x HD Video
Zoom Lens, zooms from wide to tele range
can be varied in speed from 5 minutes to
an astounding 1.2 seconds at the fastest
setting. Variable zoom speed operation with
16 levels of speed control is also possible
through the pressure-sensitive zoom lever
SLOW
Approx. 4.3 sec. (speed: 16x) to approx. 5 min. (speed: 1x)
NORMAL
Approx. 2.0 sec. (speed: 16x) to approx. 3 min. (speed: 1x)
FAST
Approx. 1.2 sec. (speed: 16x) to approx. 60 sec. (speed: 1x)
Zoom speed can be set to NORMAL, SLOW or FAST via C.Fn-02
(rocker). Or choose from one of the 16 levels
and preset it to perform constant pace
zooms. Starting and stopping of zoom
movement is always ramped to avoid
"zoom shock" and provide a more natural,
pleasing look to your footage.
Precise, Flexible Focus Control
HD capture demands precise focus. The
highly responsive, independently function-
ing focus ring (with selectable operational
direction) enables the videographer to
focus manually even while zooming – in
both Manual Focus and AF modes. There
are 4 selectable preset focus speeds along
with 3 sensitivity settings for the focus
ring, making it possible to fine-adjust
responsiveness as
desired. Push AF
control enables
temporary manual
override to quickly
find critical focus,
while a Focus Limit
function can be
engaged to limit the focusing range of the
lens, for example, for macro shooting.
Dedicated Peaking and Magnifying controls
are available to further assist in focusing.
