This is the model that we developed on the basis of the Sound Scoopic 200 released in 1970 by taking the requests of broadcasting cameramen into consideration. A new 10:1 zoom lens with improved detachability from the camera body was adopted.
This camera also adopted the artificial fluorescent lenses developed by Canon which almost completely eliminated second spectrum (residual aberration) problems. This development of stronger resolution due to less loss in definition resulted in the realization of the development of a 10:1 zoom lens that could produce sharp images. This new lens also adopted a bayonet attachment.
