Ready for video with the Z series
Autofocus, fast and quiet
A high-speed stepping motor (STM) enables fast, virtually silent autofocus. It works perfectly with the subject perception of the Z cameras, without disturbing focusing noise in the shot.
Reduced Focus Breathing
Ready for focus pulls? Focus Breathing is suppressed so that the focus can be shifted smoothly from the foreground to the background – without any disturbing changes in the angle of view.
Hi-Res Zoom
When shooting video, you can use the Hi-Res Zoom to extend the focal length range by twice as much without any loss of quality. Up to 100 mm without changing the lens.
Silent adjustment ring
Adjust settings silently by assigning important functions to the adjustment ring. Easily switch to manual focus or achieve a natural change in brightness by precisely adjusting the aperture
