range and

excellent operability

SINGAPORE,
21 April 2017 – Canon today announced the launch of a new
telephoto addition to the company’s COMPACT-SERVO series of EF Cinema Lenses,
for use with super 35 mm sensor-equipped 4K and HD cameras, the CN-E70-200mm
T4.4 L IS KAS S. This lens employs an EF mount and motorized zoom operation,
and realizes a compact, lightweight1 body design
representative of this lens series.

 The CN-E70-200mm T4.4 L IS KAS S features a
70–200 mm focal length range2, a level of optical performance supporting use
with 4K cameras and HD cameras, and excellent operability and handling to
accommodate various shooting styles, including comfortable single-operator
production. This new Canon EF Cinema lens serves the needs of diverse
on-location shooting situations ranging from documentaries and journalism to
telephoto shooting for nature and sports.

This lightweight, compact cinema lens features
a motorized zoom, focus and iris control while also permitting manual
operability of these settings to accommodate various shooting styles.
Additionally, users can realize enhanced flexibility for shoulder-mounted use
and rig use by pairing the lens with the ZSG-C10 dedicated grip (sold
separately). What’s more, attaching the Extender EF1.4x III for 98–280 mm focal
length shooting or the Extender EF2x III for 140–400 mm focal length shooting
(both sold separately) makes possible even more diverse visual expression.

Bringing together Canon’s cutting-edge optical
technologies, the new CN-E70-200mm T4.4 L IS KAS S delivers a high level of
imaging performance supporting use with 4K cameras, maintaining high optical
performance across the entire zoom range as well as from the center of
the image to the outer edges. Furthermore, incorporating a lens structure that
realizes stable shooting when zooming and a shift-type image stabilizer that
minimizes lens shake, the new lens facilitates smooth high-definition video
capture rich with a sense of realism, fostering impressive visual expression.
The CN-E70-200mm T4.4 L IS KAS S will go on sale in early October 2017.
