SONY FE 400MM F/2.8 GM OSS OVERVIEW
Blending advanced lens technologies
with a refined and relatively lightweight design, the Sony FE 400mm f/2.8 GM
OSS is a fast super-telephoto prime purpose-built for sports and wildlife
shooters working in trying conditions. Offering reach and speed, this G Master
lens also achieves remarkable image quality while remaining easy to use
handheld, thanks to the balanced design an Optical SteadyShot image
stabilization. As part of Sony's esteemed G Master
series, this lens is designed to achieve a balance of impressive resolution and
sharpness along with distinctive and pleasing bokeh.
- Large f/2.8 maximum aperture
enables working in difficult lighting conditions and also provides extremely
shallow depth of field for isolating subjects from busy backgrounds.
- Three fluorite elements and one
extra-low dispersion element minimize axial and lateral chromatic aberrations,
as well as color fringing, for high clarity and color accuracy.
- Nano AR coating has been applied to
interior lens surfaces to suppress reflections that cause flare and ghosting.
- G Master optical design also
contributes to low spherical aberrations, for high sharpness, as well as a
pleasing bokeh quality that is further benefits by a rounded 11-blade diaphragm.
- XD (Extreme Dynamic) Linear Motor
System quietly and quickly focuses on fast-moving subjects while shooting at
high speeds.
- High-precision XD motor system is
also complemented by updated AF algorithms for improved responsiveness and
quieter operation, further benefitting sports and wildlife applications.
- Power Focus functionality for
smooth focus during video recording.
- Full-time DMF supports manually
adjusting focus simply by turning the focusing ring, regardless of the focusing
mode, and Linear Response MF provides a natural and responsive focus feeling
for more precise manual control.
- Focus range limiter switch and
preset focus functions increase focusing efficiency either within a certain
constrained range or immediately to a specified focusing point.
- Optical SteadyShot image
stabilization compensates for the effects of camera shake to better enable
making sharp shots when working handheld.
- When used on a camera body
featuring in-body image stabilization, 5-axis stabilization is available for
more robust support.
- Three difference stabilization
modes can be used depending on the shooting situation: Mode 1 for general
shooting, Mode 2 for panning shooting, and Mode 3 prioritizes accurate framing
when photographing and tracking fast and erratically moving subjects.
- Weather-sealed construction to
protect against dust, dirt, and moisture.
- Fluorine-coated front element
resists dirt and fingerprints and is also easier to clean.
