Canon DIGISUPER 86 xs

Detailed Features

• Wide-angle lens

  The DIGISUPER 86xs field lens offers a focal length range from wide angle to telephoto (9.3 - 800mm). It delivers excellent shooting flexibility allowing camera operators to capture everything from the entire crowd to an individual performer at high definition sports and entertainment events.

• Power optics

  Advanced materials (including a high index ultra low dispersion material) combined with contemporary optical design and multilayer coatings produce an unsurpassed imaging system, delivering pristine results.

• Internal Focus

  Internal Focus uses a floating optical system to control chromatic aberrations. It allows operators to achieve wide-angle with reduced distortion and minimises variation of the centre of gravity while focusing.

• Optical Shift Image Stabilizer

  A second generation, built-in Optical Shift Image Stabilizer system (Shift-IS) counteracts shake, ensuring smooth, sharp images in all situations, whether at telephoto extremes or shooting high-speed objects. Includes separate horizontal and vertical control with high/low sensitivity settings.

• Precision digital servo system

  A digital servo system uses Canon-developed 16-bit optical rotary encoder devices to ensure precision control and repeatability of zoom and focus settings. The system allows for digital interface to Robotic and Virtual studio systems. 10-bit Iris Compatibility ensures high-resolution iris control.

• Constant Angle Focusing System (CAFS)

  CAFS uses a 32-bit CPU to eliminate focus "breathing". It calculates focus changes and synchronises the zoom to counteract picture size/angle of view changes when focusing.

• Robust ergonomic design

  The lens is ergonomically designed to eliminate centre-of-gravity variations with focus movement. Sealed optics offers protection against dust and smoke, while innovative electrical sealing techniques protect against radio interference.

• Ecological design

  All contemporary Canon lens systems are free of lead and other substances identified as harmful to the environment.

• Crossover technology options; 4-position Turret

  A crossover system allows use of the associated camera to switch in the optical extender system or change the aspect ratio between 16:9 and 4:3. 4-position turret includes spare switch positions.
