Field Lens with focal range 8.8 ~ 710 mm for use at sporting events. It has high magnification that helps convey the intensity and dynamism of the scene at hand. Its image stabilization feature makes it suitable to film elegant video footage free of blurring. Simultaneously offers a maximum wide angle of 8.8mm and a high magnification of 80x for wider and longer-distance shooting.

Wide Angle and High Magnification enables the lens to pull back and fully capture the scene even in limited space, and also capture images that exhibit a good degree of intensity. With high magnification boasting a zoom factor of 80x, the XJ80x8.8B lens allows almost all scenes, from a panoramic view of a stadium to the detailed expressions on players, to be taken with a single lens

An advanced version of Canon’s image stabilizer has been incorporated as a standard feature. With an advanced sensor and sped-up control circuit, this version of the image stabilizer significantly curbs vibration, particularly in the high frequency range. By successfully suppressing almost 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

Canon’s large-diameter aspherical lens technology and special glass materials effectively counter lateral chromatic aberration, monochromatic aberrations, and geometric distortion that have always been the particular challenge of large focal-length ranges. Significant reduction of these aberrations further enhance the resolution and contrast in a manner that contributes to the capture of images having superb picture sharpness across the 16:9 HD image plane

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
