A zoom lens capable of
capturing up to 1200mm1, or up to 2400mm1
when paired with the optional 2x teleconverter
The M.ZUIKO DIGITAL
ED 150-600mm F5.0-6.3 IS lens on its own covers a focal range from 300mm to
1200mm1 and is compatible with the M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 1.4x Teleconverter MC-14 and
M.ZUIKO DIGITAL 2x Teleconverter MC-20. When combined with the MC-20, it
extends to an impressive 600-2400mm equivalent1. This versatility is invaluable
for super telephoto photography, especially when capturing distant wildlife,
where getting close is challenging. Capturing full-sized images without
cropping enhances image quality significantly. With its 4x zoom range, it
allows for flexible composition, ensuring clear, high-resolution images across
the entire zoom range.
Image stabilization and splash & dust
proof performance, ensuring agility and ease of movement for the user
This lens is equipped with an in-lens image
stabilization mechanism. When paired with 5-axis sync IS in-body image stabilization,
it delivers up to 7 shutter speed steps of stabilization2. When used
independently, it offers up to 6 shutter speed steps of stabilization3.
This stability allows for steady handheld shooting, especially for super
telephoto and low-light conditions, reducing the need for a tripod and allowing
the user to concentrate on capturing moments in the wild.
Designed with an IPX1-equivalent splash
& dust proof design, it ensures worry-free use in rainy environments or
situations where water splashes are probable. The front-most lens is coated
with fluorine, simplifying the removal of raindrops, dust, or dirt with a quick
wipe, allowing you to resume shooting quickly.
Ease of use and close-up shooting capabilities
for a more comfortable photography experience
The M.ZUIKO DIGITAL ED 150-600mm F5.0-6.3 IS lens offers
customizable zoom ring torque settings, allowing for adjustments between Smooth
(S) and Tight (T) modes via its Zoom Torque/Lock switch, catering to various
shooting scenarios. Engaging the Lock (L) mode secures the lens at the
wide-angle end, preventing unintentional extension while carrying. In addition
to the zoom ring operation, it also supports straight zoom operation for quick
zooming. Furthermore, it includes a Focus Limiter switch, Focus Mode switch, IS
(Image Stabilization) switch, and an L-Fn (Lens Function) button, enhancing
shooting convenience.
In addition, it offers
superb close-up shooting performance, with a closest focusing distance of 0.56
m at the wide-angle end and 2.8 m at the telephoto end. Achieving maximum image
magnification of 0.7x1 at the wide-angle end,
and 0.39x1 at the telephoto end,
it transforms into a tele macro lens, capturing exquisite details of small
subjects like flowers and insects. When combined with a teleconverter, it
rivals the performance of a macro lens, widening opportunities for outdoor
field photography.
The M.ZUIKO
DIGITAL ED 150-600mm F5.0-6.3 IS lens supports Focus Stacking
mode3, capturing multiple shots at various
focal positions to produce a single image with an extended focus range.
