Minimum focusing distance is 10- 1\/4 in. (0.26 m) at the wide end and 16-1\/2 in. (0.42 m) at the telephoto end of the zoom range, with a maximum magnification of 0.5x throughout.

Thrust efficiency has been dramatically improved, resulting in up to approximately a 20% increase in autofocus speed throughout the entire zoom range when shooting stills. The speed potential of high-performance α series cameras is fully realized. Focus tracking continues uninterrupted even while zooming, ensuring that important moments of the action won't be lost.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eRefined movie performance and imagery\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLinear Response MF ensures that manual focus responds directly and linearly to subtle control. The breathing compensation function provided in compatible α series cameras is fully supported, reducing unwanted image shifts while focusing. Built-in optical image stabilization can work in conjunction with the in-body stabilization in compatible α series cameras to provide extremely smooth, stable handheld footage.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eTop-class performance with teleconverters\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe FE 70-200mm F4 Macro G OSS II is fully compatible with Sony's 1.4x and 2.0x teleconverters. In addition to increasing maximum focal length, the 2.0x teleconverter make it possible to shoot life-size 1:1 macro at all focal lengths for new creative potential. Attached with the 1.4x teleconverter, it can shoot max. 0.7x macro at all focal lengths. And because the working distance does not change with the teleconverter attached, you can move in close to the subject to capture truly impressive images.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCompact, mobile, reliable, and easy to use\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis innovative lens offers a rare blend of performance and compact mobility.
