From big cities to pristine nature, the incredibly short minimum focus distance of just 0.20m at a wide angle of view lets you get up close and capture more of the scene behind you. Minimal focus distance of 0.40m at maximum zoom helps create stunning portraits.

Customize the controls and assign the elements on the body to your desired settings, so you can change them quickly during your photo and video shooting. You can adjust ISO, aperture, exposure compensation or focus manually with the control ring. It has a knurled surface and rotates smoothly, quietly and precisely.
