A versatile telephoto-zoom lens with a portable form factor, the Canon RF 100-400mm f/5.6-8 IS USM is an agile lens perfect for wildlife, sports and travel shots. With extended range, this zoom includes super-telephoto range in a lightweight and relatively sleek design along with support for coordinated IS to help control up to 6 stops of camera shake and Nano USM AF to promote faster focusing performance.

Optically, the lens uses specialized elements to control a variety of aberrations and produce images with high sharpness and clarity throughout the zoom range. Close-up focusing is also possible, with a maximum magnification of 0.41x at the 400mm position, to photograph subjects as small as a credit card in the foreground.

The long-range telephoto zoom lens is designed for use with full-frame Canon RF-mount RF-mount mirrorless cameras.

The modest maximum aperture range of f/5.6-8 promotes a lightweight and relatively compact form factor.

An ultra-low dispersion element appears on the front of the optical design and helps reduce chromatic aberrations and color stripes throughout the zoom range.

An aspherical element helps control distortion and promotes a high degree of sharpness.

Super Spectra Coating has been applied to minimize flare and ghosting to improve contrast and color fidelity when working in bright lighting conditions.

An optical image stabilizer helps minimize the appearance of camera shake by 5.5 stops to allow you to work better in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds. In addition, when working with selected cameras, up to 6 stops of stabilization may be available with the coordinated optical image stabilizer and in-body image stabilizer.

The Nano USM system uses a ring-type USM mechanism and an STM mechanism to perform fast and accurate focusing that is also smooth and nearly silent to suit photography and video applications. This focusing system also allows full-time manual focus control when working in the AF mode of a shot.

Close focus capabilities are available throughout the zoom range, with a maximum magnification of 0.41x available at the 400mm position and a minimum focusing distance of 2.9' possible at the 200mm position.

The rounded 9-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasant bokeh quality.

The configurable control ring can be used to adjust a variety of exposure settings, including aperture, ISO, and exposure compensation.

Compatible with optional Extender RF 1.4x and Extender RF 2x teleconverters to further increase the effective focal length.
