Manufacturer Description

A lens is a lens is a lens. Well, yes and no! Why have so many video professionals already made their decision to acquire a ProHD camcorder from JVC and why are you interested in these camcorders with the 1/3-inch bayonet lens mount? Could it be that you love the flexibility and freedom to choose the right lens for your job? Could it be that you insist on a different high-quality lens than the standard one?

As a major lens manufacturer, Fujinon is aware of the versatility of video production and the constant challenge to shoot ever more amazing pictures. Fujinon understands and believes in the freedom that camera operators and directors wish to enjoy. Since a camera's picture quality is very strongly influenced by the lens quality, it is essential to get the lens and camera combination absolutely spot on. Therefore Fujinon developed a range of high-end quality lenses to perfectly meet the requirements of 1/3-inch professional HD cameras, thus assuring an optimum in superb, sharp images right across the entire image, from the very edges to the center.

For JVC's launch of the GY-HD100 Fujinon introduces the standard lens Th17x5BRMU. In the Th17x5BRMU general purpose lens, Fujinon is offering users an excellent range of focal lengths that address almost all the needs of the typical user.

Focus Breathing Compensation
In most lenses when the focus is operated, the angular field of view changes much like zooming. This is called the zooming effect of focus, or "breathing." Utilizing digital control technology, Fujinon has solved this problem by enabling the angular field of view to remain constant by synchronizing the zoom movement to the focus movement, thus reducing image size change when focusing.
