This feature is available when used with both cameras with or without built-in image stabilization. When shooting video, the image stabilization performance is improved thanks to AI technology.
High Performance Autofocus System
This zoom lens comes with an RXD (Rapid eXtra-silent stepping Drive) stepping motor unit that aids in quick, smooth focusing. It uses an actuator to precisely control the rotational angle of the motor, allowing it to directly drive the focusing lens without passing through a reduction gear. When paired with a sensor that precisely detects the position of the lens enables high-speed and accurate AF, which is ideal when shooting continually moving subjects or recording video.
