Product Description
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. Buttons and switches are redesigned for intuitive, deliberate
operation, and dust and water sealing keeps the EF 500mm f/4L IS II USM
functioning flawlessly in even the most challenging environments.
