Optical SteadyShot Image Stabilization

Built-in Optical SteadyShot (OSS) minimizes camera shake during handheld shooting.

This allows photographers to achieve sharper images at long focal lengths and in lower-light conditions without relying on a tripod.

Excellent Close-Up Capability

The lens focuses as close as:

• 1.1 m (3.7 ft) at 100 mm
• 0.9 m (2.8 ft) at 400 mm

With a maximum magnification of 0.41x (1:2.4 reproduction ratio), it is well suited for flowers, insects, details, and small wildlife.
