Key Features of the FE 400mm F4.5 GM OSS and FE 600mm F6.3 GM OSS
Lightweight and Compact Design with Excellent Handling for Super Telephoto Shooting
The FE 400mm F4.5 GM OSS weighs approximately 994g2 and the FE 600mm F6.3 GM OSS approximately 995g2, achieving the world's lightest design1 in their respective categories.
The FE 400mm F4.5 GM OSS measures approximately 108 mm in maximum diameter and 242 mm in length, while the FE 600mm F6.3 GM OSS measures approximately 108 mm in maximum diameter and 263 mm in length. Their compact dimensions enhance portability and enable comfortable handling and control during handheld shooting.
In addition, a weight balance designed to shift the centre of gravity closer to the camera body makes it easier to maintain framing on a subject, track moving subjects and perform panning shots. The lightweight design and ease of handling increase flexibility in super telephoto photography, making it easier to search for subjects while shooting handheld especially even in environments where a tripod or monopod may be difficult to use, as well as during long handheld shooting sessions.
High Resolution and Beautiful Bokeh Characteristic of G Master
The latest optical design incorporating three Super ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass elements and one ED glass element effectively suppresses chromatic aberration and other optical aberrations that commonly occur at super telephoto focal lengths, delivering high resolution from the centre of the image to the edges.
Sony's proprietary Nano AR Coating II significantly reduces ghosting and flare even in backlit conditions, delivering clear and crisp imagery.
In addition, an 11-blade circular aperture and optimisation of spherical aberration during both the design and manufacturing processes achieve the beautifully smooth bokeh characteristic of G Master.
Fast, Precise and Quiet AF Performance and Optical Image Stabilisation for Stable Super Telephoto Shooting
Two XD (extreme dynamic) Linear Motors and a control algorithm optimised specifically for these lenses deliver fast, precise and quiet AF performance. This enables reliable tracking of fast-moving subjects such as birds, wildlife and sports. The lenses are fully compatible with Alpha 9 III continuous shooting at up to 120 fps with AF/AE tracking
The lenses incorporate built-in optical image stabilisation, helping to reduce camera shake during handheld shooting at super telephoto focal lengths.
The lenses also support the camera body's Active Mode image stabilisation and coordinated image stabilisations controliv, enabling high-quality still-image and movie shooting with reduced blur, even when shooting handheld. Furthermore, it supports the camera body's breathing compensation functionv, which corrects changes in angle of view caused by shifts in focus position during movie recording.
Operability, Reliability and Expandability for Super Telephoto Photography
Aiding in the excellent operability, four customisable focus hold buttons are positioned around the lens barrel.
The lenses are also equipped with a function ring, focus range limiter, Full-time DMF switch, focus mode switch and image stabilisation mode switch, enabling intuitive operation according to different shooting styles.
