More versatility from lenses
Hybrid Zoom / Crop Zoom
Hybrid Zoom extends the zoom range by combining optical and digital zoom, leveraging the high-resolution sensor to maintain image quality while using the lens’s zoom ring. Crop Zoom, on the other hand, allows digital zoom control by dedicated function buttons, enabling varied focal lengths even with prime lenses.
Support for using the focus ring as a control ring
The focus ring can now be used as a control ring*, enabling you to assign key functions such as aperture and exposure compensation. When set to the Crop Zoom, it allows smooth extension of the telephoto range. The ring’s rotation direction is also selectable*, giving you the freedom to adjust handling to match your shooting style and camera setup.
