Detailed Features

Advanced long lens for Outside Broadcasting
The XJ80x8.8B offers a maximum wide angle of 8.8mm, which is
approximately 5% wider than previous long-zoom lenses. This enables
the lens to pull back and fully capture the scene even in limited
space, and also capture images that exhibit a stunning degree of
intensity. With a zoom factor of 80x, the XJ80x8.8B allows any and
all scenes, from a panoramic view of a stadium to the detailed
expressions on players, to be taken with a single lens.
Advanced image stabilization
The XJ80x8.8B, incorporates a more advanced version of Canon's
image stabilizer as a standard feature. With a new sensor and
speed-up control circuit, this latest version of the image
stabilizer significantly curbs vibration, particularly in the high
frequency range. By successfully suppressing all kinds of
vibration, such as that generated by wind and excited fans in the
stands, the XJ80x8.8B's image stabilizer allows the capture of
stable, clear video even at super-telephoto range. It also largely
mitigates the "aftershock" phenomenon that occurs when an
image moves after the camera operator stops panning.
Superior operability and tracking
With its superior operability, the XJ80x8.8B also offers enhanced
width and higher magnification without increases in physical lens
size. Moreover, the use of a high-speed CPU and high-resolution
encoder, coupled with improvements in control algorithms, have
yielded significant enhancements in handling subjects entering
motion and subsequent tracking when zooming at super-slow
speeds.
Reduces shifts in angles of view caused by focusing to nearly zero. CAFS (Constant Angle Focusing System)
A 32-bit CPU calculates and controls the zoom when focusing to
counteract "breathing" (phenomena where picture
size/angle of view changes when focusing) and has almost zero zoom
effect.
