Canon HJ15ex8.5BKRSE-V Portable Image Stabilized HD Lens

New Solution for “Stable” HD Image Production
	Preserving Full HDTV Optical Performance with incorporation of IS System The nature of high definition imagery is the sensitivity to a sudden lowering of image quality when the originating HD lens-camera system is subject to physical disturbances. Based upon long term operational studies and extensive research Canon has successfully developed a powerful real-time counter to the many forms of physical disturbances that can be encountered on location shooting.
	Powerful Image Stabilization for Various Environments
	Throughout the entire zoom range, the Vari-angle Prism image stabilizer technology provides real-time compensation for a wide range of disturbance frequencies to ensure a high level of HD image stabilization. These disturbances include lens-camera jolting associated with handheld and shoulder mounting by a camera operator who is in motion, vibrations when tripod mounted on an unstable platform or in windblown environments, to the higher vibration frequencies encountered when operating on vehicles, boats, and aircraft.

	Various Stabilizing Modes
	In order to optimize the image stabilization action for different shooting conditions, various stabilization modes are selectable. Combination of two modes from each category is available and each mode is simply set by changing the switches on the lens.

Select According to the Shooting Situation	Portable mode	Compensates for motion-related disturbances while shooting shoulder mount or handheld
Select According to the Shooting Situation	Tripod mode	Effectively compensates for disturbances caused by unsteady platform or wind
Select According to the Direction of Disturbance	H+V mode	Optimizes stabilization action whendisturbance frequencies are both horizontal and vertical
Select According to the Direction of Disturbance	V mode	Effectively counters vertical disturbances while operationally panning the lens-camera
