In compliance with RF mount communications protocol, the lenses can be combined^*1 with EOS C400 (scheduled for release in early September 2024), EOS C70 (released in November 2020), or EOS R5 C (March 2022) cameras to make lateral chromatic aberration corrections and light intensity corrections and adjust the dual pixel focus guide through camera operation just like previous models, in addition to supporting distortion correction as a newly added feature. Moreover, these lenses now enable metadata output suitable for virtual production. Combined with the EOS C400, they support highly accurate CG compositing in real time and post-production.

For the first time in the CINE-SERVO^*2 series, the lenses will come equipped with the new e-Xs V digital drive unit. The focus and iris are faster than previous models, allowing camera operators to shoot just as intended even when capturing rapidly moving subjects such as during sports broadcasts. The optical design limits changes in the angle of view that occur during focusing, while the lens features a focus breathing correction function linked with the zoom function to automatically make precise corrections. Additionally, the highly versatile USB Type-C terminal makes it possible to export and import lens setting data from a USB memory drive, thereby allowing users to update firmware on their own.

The new lenses boast not only broadcast-style operation through servo control by harnessing a digital drive unit, but also functions and a design suited for cinema-style shooting focused on full manual operation. They also feature 12-pin serial communication, a communication standard for broadcast camera systems. In addition, CN7x17 KAS T/P1 supports /i Technology from Cooke Optics, which is widely used in the visual creation industry, as well as eXtended Data*3 from ZEISS. Enabling the external output of various lens-related information during shooting in real time through the lens mount interface will help to improve the efficiency of shooting and editing.

*1 Compatibility with EOS C70 and EOS R5 C made possible by updating to firmware scheduled for release in 2H 2024. Compatibility with EOS R5 C only guaranteed in Video mode
*2 General term for lenses that come standard with drive units which are compatible with cameras featuring large sensors
*3 Not supported if lens is equipped with PL-RF mount adapter (scheduled for release in early September 2024)
