Achieves a compact and lightweight design with a total length of approximately 92.2mm and a weight of approximately 495g, while realizing a maximum aperture of F2.8 across the entire zoom range through downsizing of the IS unit and adoption of a retractable structure.
In addition to excellent portability, the convenient zoom range from 28mm to 70mm focal length supports a wide range of scenes, from still photography such as snapshots and portraits to video production. Versatile expressions are possible by taking advantage of the difference in angle of view.
The maximum aperture of F2.8 across the entire zoom range allows for shooting with natural and beautiful bokeh at a wide range of focal lengths.
By equipping the lead screw type STM with a magnetic sensor that reads the motor's rotation speed, advanced feedback control is possible, realizing high-speed, high-precision, quiet, and smooth AF.
Image stabilization allows for shooting with reduced shake even in scenes where camera shake is likely with slow shutter speeds, such as handheld nightscapes.
Dust and moisture resistant construction is adopted for the operation ring, etc. Can be used with confidence even in sudden rain outdoors or when shooting near water. Covers the retractable lens part where dust and dirt can easily enter.
