Internal Focus for Ultimate Versatility
Canon internal focus is made for the highest quality professional video cameras used in news and event videography. The front lens element is stationary and can be used with a matte box for greater lens flare protection, as well as a wide array of square and rectangular filters. Benefits include reduction in chromatic distortions, as well as decreases in flare.
Shuttle-Shot Technology
The lens has an added zoom capability; using the shuttle-shot switch. At the touch of a button, the lens can move to and from a pre-programmed point. This can be used both creatively, while providing a no-hassle way of verifying focus.
4:3 Crossover System
Achieving 4:3 aspect ratios from a 16:9 CCD is usually performed by cutting off the sides of the imager, effectively making the minimum focal length more telephoto. Canon's 4:3 crossover technology preserves the same picture by shortening the original focal length. Shots in standard 4:3 hold the same image angles as if shot in 16:9.
