Canon EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM Super Telephoto Lens Features & Technical Specs



WORTHY SUCCESSOR TO THE LAUDED CANON EF 500MM F/4L IS USM, THE NEW EF 500MM F/4L IS II USM SUPER TELEPHOTO LENS FEATURES COMPLETELY REDESIGNED FLUORITE OPTICS THAT DELIVER SHARPER IMAGES WITH LESS CHROMATIC ABERRATION AND HAS A LIGHTER WEIGHT THANKS TO MAGNESIUM AND TITANIUM CONSTRUCTION ELEMENTS. BECAUSE IMAGE STABILIZATION TECHNOLOGY IN SUPER TELEPHOTO LENSES MAY INADVERTENTLY OVER-COMPENSATE AND INTERFERE WITH COMPOSING AND FRAMING DISTANT OR MOVING SUBJECTS, THE EF 500MM F/4L IS II USM INCLUDES AN ADVANCED THIRD IMAGE STABILIZATION MODE (MODE 3) THAT ACTIVATES IS ONLY WHEN THE SHUTTER BUTTON IS FULLY PRESSED. THIS ALLOWS USERS TO PAN FAST-MOVING SUBJECTS AND THEN ACTIVATE IS ONLY WHEN IT IS PRECISELY REQUIRED. ADDITIONALLY, ALL THREE IS MODES GIVE THE EQUIVALENT EFFECT OF A SHUTTER SPEED FOUR STOPS FASTER, IDEALLY POSITIONING THE CANON EF 500MM F/4L IS II USM FOR PROFESSIONAL ACTION PHOTOGRAPHY, FROM SPORTS TO NATURE. THE ADDITION OF THE POWER FOCUS MODE ENABLES SMOOTH FOCUS CHANGE WHEN SHOOTING VIDEO.
