Focusing System
Latest IF system provides high MTF and optical quality.
Hi-UD Glass
(High Index Ultra low Dispersion Glass) Dramatically reduces
longitudinal and lateral chromatic aberration
High MTF
Computer design to upgrade current 5MHz contrast to 6MHz
Short M.O.D., 0.6m (2ft)
Minimized variation of aberrations while focusing
Minimized Distortion
Reduced longitudinal and lateral chromatic aberration
Countermeasures against ghosting and flares
New coating and anti-reflection paint achieve the elimination
of ghosting and flare.
Among the standard features on the J17ax is Zoom Track,
a new Digital Drive function, which allows the camera
operator to set the electronic focal length end stops
to their desired position for both the tele and the wide
side of the lens. Other main features of Canon's Digital
Drive include Speed Preset, Shuttle Shot, Framing Preset,
Zoom Mode Select and improved maximum zoom and focus servo
speed. The benefits of Digital Drive include advanced
ergonomics and faster digital controls that bring operators
a highly useful group of functions, and add to the overall
value of the J17ax.
Crossover for switchable cameras is available is an
option (WRS/WAS).
Using the exclusive X-element and Power Optical System,
Canon IFxs lenses achieve higher specs and quality in
a compact size. Extensive 3D-CAD modeling on the J17ax
has resulted in the most advanced mechanical structure
and weight balance to arrive on the market.
