Introducing the Sony FE 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 GM OSS
The Sony FE 100-400mm F4.5-5.6 GM OSS is a high-performance G Master zoom lens covering a wide focal length range (from 100 to 400mm), making it ideal for sports, nature, and other subjects requiring long-range shooting. It offers image quality and autofocus performance suited to field work, where professionals need to track and capture moving subjects with exceptional resolution and clarity.
Fast and stable autofocus
A dual linear motor combined with Direct Drive SSM (DDSSM) systems is a first. It also implements precision sensors that provide real-time information for extremely accurate positioning, allowing the camera’s AF system to be used to its full potential.
High resolution for all focal lengths
The precision optical design ensures consistent and exceptional resolution across the entire focal range of the lens, regardless of the focusing distance. The SEL100400GM not only delivers stunning images of distant subjects at super-telephoto focal lengths, but also high performance for closer shots.
Rendering and color as to reality as possible
The two ED (extra-low dispersion) glass elements and the Super ED glass element, combined with an advanced optical design, effectively eliminate axial chromatic aberration, a common cause of resolution loss in telephoto lenses. The images are stunningly clear and sharp.
Clarity and contrast guaranteed regardless of the lighting
Sony’s Nano Anti-Reflective Coating eliminates unwanted reflections and ghosting, especially in backlit conditions, ensuring maximum contrast and clarity in all situations. Reduced reflections, particularly outdoors in bright sunlight, allow for better framing and greater compositional flexibility. (1. Nano Anti-Reflective Coating / 2. Glass / 3. Transmitted Light)
Compact, lightweight and portable
The magnesium alloy components and other details contribute to the high durability and remarkably lighter and more compact form of this device, which provides both greater mobility and ease of handling when shooting handheld, due to the lightness of the bodies.
Zoom torque adjustment
This is the firstlens to feature a zoom smoothness adjustment system that allows you to manually control the zoom ring torque. Set a low torque for fast zoom and increase it for slower, more stable zoom. This fine-tuning allows you to tailor the lens’s ergonomics to the user’s specific needs.
Sharp, blur-free images without a tripod
The built-in SteadyShot optical image stabilizer makes it easy to capture blur-free images, especially during sporting events and other situations requiring quick reactions. MODE 2 stabilization allows for easy dynamic panning shots. 5-axis stabilization becomes available when used with -series models that have in-body image stabilization.
Amazing shooting versatility
The floating focus system and high-precision positioning allow for a minimum focusing distance of just 0.98 meters (3.22 feet) with up to 0.35x magnification. You’ll also benefit from a super-telephoto focal range of 100 to 400 mm, as well as remarkable -up capabilities at 100 mm.
Customizable focus lock button
Strategically placed, the focus lock buttons allow you to control focus even during continuous autofocus. You can also customize them from the camera menu to assign a variety of functions.
Mounting device for removable tripod
A removable mount allows for quick attachment or removal of the camera from a tripod, enabling the user to easily switch between shooting modes. The mount can also be removed for easier transport and storage. A locking mechanism prevents accidental removal.
Telephoto lenses to aim further
The SEL100400GM is fully compatible with the SEL14TC and SEL20TC telephoto lenses, which increase the focal length by 1.4x and 2x respectively. This results in a maximum focal length of 800 mm (1200 mm with an APS-C camera).2
Front lens with fluoride coating
The front elements of the lens feature a fluorine coating that prevents dust and fingerprints from sticking to the lens surface and makes cleaning easier when necessary. This detail can prove crucial when shooting outdoors.
High reliability in the most extreme conditions
The overall design of this lens is dust and moisture resistant for added protection and reliable operation in harsh environments. Rain or shine, capture your photos with confidence
Professional features of the sun visor
An access window, which opens and closes as needed, allows for quick activation of the polarizing filter, while a locking switch prevents accidental removal or rotation of the lens hood during use or handling.
