It optical design incorporates a pair of extra-low dispersion elements, which aid in reducing chromatic aberrations for improved clarity and color fidelity. A Super Integrated Coating, too, helps to achieve accurate colors by controlling flare and ghosting when working in bright and backlit conditions. The Silent Wave Motor affords fast and accurate autofocus performance, along with full-time manual focus overrides. Additionally, Vibration Reduction image stabilization compensates for up to 4.5 stops of camera shake for sharper handheld shooting.
