Optical 20x Zoom and Wide-Angle 24.5mm Lens
Wide-Angle 24.5mm*1
The integrated lens boasts the industry's widest angle of 24.5 mm at the wide-angle setting. It enables wide-angle shooting with little distortion, without the use of a wide conversion lens and also allows video recording/production in narrow spaces.
*1 35 mm film equivalent
Optical 20x Zoom
20x Optical Zoom
Covers the range of wide angle 24.5mm to ultra-telephoto 490mm at UHD/FHD. (35mm film camera equivalent)
i.ZOOM 32x (FHD) / 24x (UHD)
You can zoom to a maximum of approximately 32x FHD (24x UHD) while maintaining the beauty of high-definition image quality.
HYBRID O.I.S.
5-Axis Hybrid O.I.S. + (UHD/FHD)
In both UHD/FHD modes, in addition to Optical Image Stabilization (OIS), Electronic Image Stabilization operates to detect and correct handshake in the 5-axis direction, including rotational blurring. This provides powerful correction in unstable situations, such as low-angle and high-angle shooting.
There are three modes to choose from:
NORMAL (standard)
STABLE (effective for fixed-frame shooting)
PAN/TILT (effective in panning and tilting)
Ball O.I.S. System
Wear of the drive section is reduced, especially improving the correction of small-amplitude blurring
4K High-Precision AF - High-Speed, High-Precision AF Technology in 4K 
High AF performance is achieved in spite of the difficulty of 4K shooting compared with Full-HD.
Speed
Even when a subject suddenly enters the frame, it is instantly focused.
Tracking Performance
The subject’s movement is also tracked.
Stability
The subject stays in focus even when there are some obstacles passing through.
Triple Manual Rings and ND Filter
Triple Manual Rings
The X2/X20 features triple manual rings on the lens barrel for Zoom, Focus and Iris control. These manual functions ensures professional operation and enable speedy and intuitive camera work.
Focus Ring Control
Used to set the coordination between the focus ring operation and the amount of focus movement.
Nonlinear
Accelerates the focus movement in accordance with the speed of the focus ring rotation.
Linear
Moves the focus at a constant speed in accordance with the rotating angle of the focus ring.
Set
Sets the focus ring rotating angle when [Linear] is selected
ND Filter
ND filters are built into the lens to suppress the amount of incident light.
The filters can be selected (1/4, 1/16, 1/64, or Clear) to match the shooting envi
