The new lens was designed to meet the ever-growing demand in recent years for ultra-high-resolution video production equipment, especially in such fields as sports broadcasting and documentary filmmaking.<\/p>\n<p>The lens features a fast constant aperture of f\/2.8 across the entire zoom range that spans 16mm at the wide end to 160mm at the telephoto end, a zoom magnification of 10x. This combination of aperture speed and zoom range is ideal for events such as sports and live broadcasting, which often involve frequent changes in focal length, in order to provide immersive and high-resolution imagery with colorful and vibrant appearance. The Canon 10\u00d716 KAS S lens is equipped with lens elements such as fluorite, UD lenses, Hi-UD lenses (a lens element utilizing ultra-low dispersion glass) and wide-diameter aspherical lenses that help to reduce chromatic aberrations, spherical aberrations and other effects that could diminish image quality.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.sportsvideo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CTZ227_FrontSlant-scaled.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignright wp-image-209538\" src=\"https:\/\/www.sportsvideo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CTZ227_FrontSlant-scaled.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"448\" height=\"336\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.sportsvideo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CTZ227_FrontSlant-scaled.jpg 2560w, https:\/\/www.sportsvideo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CTZ227_FrontSlant-scaled.jpg 300w, https:\/\/www.sportsvideo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CTZ227_FrontSlant-scaled.jpg 713w, https:\/\/www.sportsvideo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CTZ227_FrontSlant-scaled.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.sportsvideo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CTZ227_FrontSlant-scaled.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/www.sportsvideo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CTZ227_FrontSlant-scaled.jpg 2048w, https:\/\/www.sportsvideo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CTZ227_FrontSlant-scaled.jpg 367w, https:\/\/www.sportsvideo.org\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/08\/CTZ227_FrontSlant-scaled.jpg 345w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 448px) 100vw, 448px\" \/><\/a>Canon utilized its optical simulation technologies, honed and improved through the company\u2019s history to determine the ideal placement of lens elements. High-precision manufacturing operations and assembly technologies help to optimize manufacturing consistency for this type of lens class. Together, these features and procedures allowed for Canon to develop a lens with an image that is clear and sharp from the center to the periphery throughout the entire zoom range.<\/p>\n<p>The lens also features a high-performance digital drive unit powered by the high-resolution 16-bit absolute value encoder digital drive unit that has a proven track record of use with 2\/3-inch 4K broadcast zoom lenses. This makes possible high-precision position detection, which is vital for productions that incorporate virtual imaging systems.<\/p>\n<p>The Canon 10\u00d716 KAS S 8K UHD portable zoom lens is scheduled to be available in late October 2021.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Canon U.S.A made two major product announcements today for the broadcast industry: the launch of the XF605 4K UHD professional camcorder and the 10\u00d716 KAS S 8K portable zoom lens.
