Control features include a focus ring, a custom focus hold key, an AF/MF toggle switch, an aperture lock switch, a direct control aperture ring, etc. The product is designed to be dust and moisture resistant thanks to its fluorine coating for increased durability
The Sony FE 400-800mm F6.3-8 G OSS is the first full-frame E-mount lens in the G series to reach a super-telephoto focal length of 800mm. The focal length range is from 400mm - 800mm, extending to a maximum of 1,600mm when using a 2x teleconverter, suitable for shooting birds, wildlife, sports, aircraft and landscapes. 11-blade aperture system creates circular bokeh, 6 ED (extra-low dispersion) lenses reduce aberration, control flare and ghosting.
The lens integrates 2 linear motors for AF, supporting tracking at 120fps on the Alpha 9 III. The focus range switch (Full/10m-NEAR/∞-8m) is optimized for each subject. Optical SteadyShot anti-shake technology supports handheld shooting, more effective when combined with anti-shake in the Alpha body.
