- Compact and lightweight body
- 7.8x zoom lens
- A minimum focus distance of 0.20m at wide focal lengths
- Vibration reduction mode, allowing the user to shoot at shutter speeds of up to 5 stops slower with no camera shake
- Electromagnetic diaphragm mechanism, using signals from the camera for even more precise aperture control and consistently stable exposure control
- Great for videos and stills, with easy-to-use controls

The lens achieves consistently high resolution, regardless of focal length or shooting distance, making it a great choice for both still shooting and video recording. Its short minimum focus distance of 0.2m at the maximum wide-angle position lets users capture dynamic close-up shots such as shooting flowers or tabletop photography. The lens also realizes high vibration reduction (VR) performance with an effect equivalent to a 5.0-stop1 increase in shutter speed for more stable and sharp photos even during telephoto shooting or in low-light situations where vibration is likely to occur.
