Canon RF Lens RF24mm F1.4 L VCM

This latest F1.4 prime lens was created for creators who freely move between video and still images, elevating video to a more cinematic quality and still images to a more dramatic one.
This is a wide-angle/standard lens that shares the same exterior and operability as the RF35mm 1.4 CM.
[Sharp reproduction of point images such as starry skies without distortion even at the edges]
The appropriate placement of one aspherical lens reduces sagittal coma flare and improves the reproduction of the periphery of point images when shooting them, ensuring that illuminations, starry skies, and other scenes are reproduced sharply all the way to the edges of the screen.
[Perspective expression and the three-dimensional effect of F1.4]
In addition to the expression possible only with the wide perspective of 24mm, the combination with the bokeh produced by the large F1.4 aperture further accentuates the sense of perspective and makes the subject stand out vividly.
[Video that focuses the eye on the main subject by taking advantage of background blur]
The large F1.4 aperture lens has an extremely shallow depth of field, allowing you to create images that make the subject stand out from the background. You can shoot in dark places without increasing the sensitivity, allowing you to capture clear, deep video. This lens also significantly reduces breathing, allowing you to take full advantage of the bokeh effect and capture videos with a sense of stability even when the focus shifts.
[Clear images even under harsh lighting conditions such as backlighting]
ASC+SWC effectively reduces flare and ghosting even in backlit situations, delivering clear, high-contrast images. The 11-blade aperture produces beautiful rays of light when stopped down, and the bokeh maintains a smooth, circular shape.
[Electronic floating focus control using VCM + nano USM]
The lens employs electronic floating focus control, combining the drive of the focus lens group by a VCM and the drive of the floating lens by a nano USM. By controlling the amount of movement of each, the heavy, large-diameter focus lens group is driven by a high-thrust VCM, and the lightweight floating lens is driven by a power-saving, compact nano USM, achieving fast, smooth focusing even with large-diameter lenses.
[Smooth and highly accurate AF]
The combination of a mechanism that combines a VCM and Nano USM with the EOS series' Dual Pixel CMOS F achieves high-speed, high-precision AF for still images. Its extremely quiet operation smoothly tracks subject movement and touch focus operations, enabling high-quality video recording.
[Control algorithm optimized for servo AF and continuous shooting]
The VCM + Nano USM's state-of-the-art control algorithms accommodate changes in shooting styles, such as high-speed continuous shooting with the electronic shutter and regular use of servo AF with subject detection. The high-speed AF makes AF even more comfortable, with fast capture, continuous capture, and stable tracking.
[Enabling video shooting with extremely little breathing and stable composition]
Electronic floating focus control, which combines VCM and Nano USM, thoroughly suppresses optical focus breathing at all focus positions, allowing you to shoot video with extremely stable composition even when combined with a camera body that does not have electronic focus breathing compensation.
[Standardized exterior design]
It shares the same exterior as the RF35mm 1.4 CM, and is lightweight and compact. Its 67mm diameter front filter can be used interchangeably, and fewer adjustments are required when changing lenses when shooting video using a gimbal, making it easy to use on location.
[Iris ring for controlling aperture during video recording]
The lens is equipped with an iris ring that allows manual control of the aperture during video shooting, and shares the same operation system as the RF35mm 1.4 CM. Smooth aperture control without a click feeling is possible, and the rotation direction is the same as that of the CINEMA OS SYSTEM cinema lenses, so operation can be done seamlessly even when shooting video.
[High customizability to realize your own unique operation]
The functions of the buttons and switches can be customized to suit the user's workflow.A rear filter holder can be attached to the mount side, allowing for two filters, front and rear, to pursue original expression.
* A weak magnetic field is generated from the electromagnetic drive parts built into the VCM. If you are using an implanted cardiac pacemaker or other medical device and experience any abnormalities, move away from this product and consult a doctor.
*Please check the manufacturer's support website for restrictions on the iris ring and still image/video shooting modes.
