TECHNOLOGY FOR CORRECTING 
ABERRATION
Use of a zoom system and floating focus has reduced 
the variations in the optical aberrations associated with 
zooming and focusing, thereby achieving a level of aberration 
correction commensurate with 4K. Furthermore, through the 
use of fluorite and UD glass and by means of optimal lens 
element groupings, longitudinal chromatic aberration and 
lateral chromatic aberration have been minimized. This has 
resulted in visually pleasing images on large UHD screens with 
minimal loss of sharpness and minimized color fringing on high  
contrast edges.
TECHNOLOGY FOR PROCEssING 
Ultra-HigH-Precision lenses
In order to support the trend for 4K to offer ever-higher levels of definition, lens 
element surface precision higher than that for HD lenses is required. To this end, an 
advanced new lens processing technology and high-grade measuring technology 
that Canon had been developing were mobilized, enabling us to come up with the 
technology for mass-producing ultra-high-precision lenses that support large-
aperture lenses in the 200 mm-diameter class.
TECHNOLOGY TO  ACHIEvE 
Ultra-HigH-Precision ProdUction
When it comes to 2/3” 4K, even the slightest dimensional errors 
or assembly errors in the components used can significantly 
affect the images obtained. Canon accordingly increased the 
precision of the key optical components and their individual 
mountings while simultaneously combining precision assembly 
tools and measuring equipment to improve the precision levels 
of assembly and adjustment.
TECHNOLOGY FOR MINIMIzING GHOsTING
With the emergence of high dynamic range (HDR) cameras the design of the 
associated lenses acquire a whole new importance. Very sophisticated multilayer 
optical coatings are deposited on every lens element surface to elevate the light 
transmission through the lens while curtailing the optical reflections that can 
contaminate scene black level with flare and veiling glare. The goal is to elevate 
the contrast level of the nominally exposed scene to the highest degree possible 
– a key aspect of increasing dynamic range. In addition, the lens must reproduce 
specular highlights within the scene as faithfully as possible without any attendant 
stimulation of optical ghosts. Here too, the optical anti-reflection coatings play 
a pivotal role. The separate optical ghosting that can be stimulated by off-axis 
highlights (from the sun and other excessive highlights) are carefully managed by a 
multi-strategic design entailing internal mechanical structures.
New BCTV LeNses DesigNeD To ACCeLerATe The pACe of  
4K UhD CoNTeNT CreATioN
As 4K continues its steady integration into mainstream television dramas, documentaries and movies, Canon has worked to be 
at the technological forefront with our innovative Cinema EOS series and development of 4K Optics. The needs of broadcast 
television producers to achieve the high image quality of 4K UHD and more powerful ways of expression are now spreading to 
live telecasts of sports, concerts, and events. The imperative need for 4K lenses that can offer the long focal ranges that are 
central to contemporary sports coverage while maintaining the usability and ease of operation that the broadcast industry favors, 
is increasing at a rapid pace. In response to these new marketplace needs, Canon is offering lenses whose performance neatly 
dovetails with the various new 2/3” small-format 4K UHD cameras as part of our onward drive to support this new movement. By 
offering lenses that fit in with the applications and objectives of users, Canon is taking steps to actively open up new dimensions of 
potential in video performance. 4K images can convey such a sense of presence and an almost 3-dimensional feeling that viewers 
sense they are actually involved in the action; through such images, these lenses can impart new values to user content and allow 
viewers to experience videos in new and fresh ways.
CANoN’s TeChNoLogies ThAT AChieVe 4K
Each 2/3” small-format 4K pixel is equivalent to approximately 2.5 m, which is one-half of the size of the 2/3” HD pixels. These 
are approximately 1/2.7 smaller than the pixel size of the 4K Super 35mm image sensor. This means that, for these lenses, it is 
extremely important to establish the high-grade design and production technologies that will help ensure the requisite 4K UHD 
image sharpness while minimizing optical aberrations. Described below are the latest technologies Canon has developed and is 
utilizing to achieve these goals.
