Silent focusing

Nano USM ensures that your soundtrack is not interrupted by the sound of focusing: it makes movements almost silent.

Find out how Nano USM was made possible

The Nano USM device consists of a flexible metal body, a ceramic tension element, and a drive unit. Applying and adjusting the tension to the ceramic element controls the direction and speed of the drive unit. The result is a focusing system that provides smooth focusing with speed control.

Stay steady in the midst of action

Shooting incredibly sharp images is easy with the 4x0-stop optical Image Stabilizer. It smooths out camera shake for high-quality results in low light or when zooming, while a special camera-rotation mode automatically activates when you're tracking a moving subject.

Dynamic Image Stabilizer ensures stable footage when shooting handheld, at maximum zoom, or while traveling.

Incredible versatility across the entire focusing range
