Debuting at NAB 2019, the new Canon 4K UHDgc CJ15eX8.5B 8.5-128mm F/2.5 uses a solution Canon has perfected throughout the years to stabilize images. Canon’s exclusive Vari-Angle Prism (VAP) Image Stabilizer is a unique solution for filmmakers who need to capture images in either bumpy terrain or from transport.

The lens uses a high refractive index liquid placed between two layers of glass, and it’s through changing the angle of that liquid that the lens corrects blur caused by motion. It’s one of many interesting features of a lens that provides broadcasters with excellent control of footage captured over the entire zoom range – from wide angle to telephoto.

The Canon 4K UHDgc CJ15eX8.5B 8.5-128mm F/2.5 features an ergonomically designed grip that fits comfortably in the hand – easing strain on camera operators shooting for long periods of time. The CJ15eX8.5B is one of the two world-first portable zoom lenses for 4K broadcast cameras using 2/3 sensors, the other being the CJ18ex28B also introduced at NAB 2019.
