Its floating focus system, which controls multiple lens groups across the variable focal length, ensures high resolution across the entire zoom range. Typical distortions and edge-to-edge resolution loss have also been reduced. This supports the production of videos with the highest image quality and a realistic look. The lens also features Fujinon's optical image stabilization, which compensates for vibrations caused, for example, by unstable surfaces.
