Sony SAL-500F40G User manual

SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor)

A built-in lens motor for faster automatic focusing with high torque at low speed, quick start/stop

response, and quiet, smooth operation.

High Performance AF

Newly developed circuit board in the internal focusing mechanism achieves approx. 4 times

faster object tracking performance during autofocusing than lenses using conventional circuit

boards. This speed makes the lens perfect for capturing fast moving subjects like athletes and

wild animals, including birds.

Nano AR Coating

Sony’s Nano AR Coating with nano-precision structure contributes to high-quality images

with reduced ghosting and are. This proprietary Sony coating technology features aligned

microscopic asperities that reduce the eects of the reective interfacial boundary on the

surface of the lens, thus dramatically reducing the amount of undesirable reections entering the

lens.

ED (Extra-low Dispersion) Glass

Three precision ED Glass lenses correct chromatic aberrations to provide extremely sharp

telephoto images distant subjects as well as dramatic sports close-ups.

Internal Focusing System

Internal lens elements move, so the overall length does not change -- creating an auto-focus

zoom lens that doesn’t aect the balance of your camera.

2 DMF (Direct Manual Focus) Modes

Allow you to quickly revert to manual focus by just turning the manual focus ring of the lens.

Versatile Focus Hold

Four focus hold buttons in dierent lens locations, plus electronic slider focus range selector

switch.

Dust and moisture resistance

The dust and moisture resistance design makes this lens appropriate for heavy-duty outdoor use,

especially when combined with a DSLR that employs weather resistant measures.

Lightweight Design

A strong, light magnesium lens barrel makes shooting more comfortable even on long wildlife or

sports assignments.

For denitive long-shot precision and spectacular portraits even in

low light, this professional G-Series lens raises the standard of DLSR

performance. Its 35mm-equivalent 750mm focal length and ultra-

bright f4.0 aperture combine for superb results in virtually any light --

and its improved high-speed SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) auto-focus

is fast, accurate and quiet. Plus, the exclusive AR Nano Coating by on

lens surfaces cuts reections for extremely low ghosting and are.
