SUPER TELEPHOTO LENSES
With the ability to see surpassing the human
eye, a super telephoto lens has the ability to
transform an ordinary scene into an
extraordinary one. It can compress images
and make them look as if they come from
another dimension. It opens up new realms
of photographic expression. All Canon EF
super telephoto lenses are L-series to provide
the highest quality, while the USM delivers
quiet and high-speed autofocusing.

EF 600mm f/4L IS USM
◆ All except the 300/4L and 400/5.6L feature a fluorite lens element
to correct chromatic aberrations. Fluorite has abnormally low
refraction and low dispersion characteristics which optical glass
can’t achieve.
◆ In addition to fluorite, they each incorporate two UD (Ultra-
Low Dispersion) glass elements whose properties nearly match
those of fluorite (the effect of two UD-glass elements is equivalent
to one fluorite). The 400/5.6L has a Super UD-glass element
which gives almost the same effect as one fluorite element.
◆ All except the 300/4L and 400/5.6L have an ‘AF Stop’ feature. If
something passes between the camera and subject, the AF-Stop
button momentarily locks the AF to prevent the focus from
shifting to the obstruction passing by. After it is gone, the focus
is maintained so you can quickly resume shooting.
◆ All except the 300/4L and 400/5.6L feature Focus Preset (FP).
With FP you can set the desired focusing distance in memory
and later instantly focus the lens at that distance. Normal shooting
and focusing is possible while FP has been set.
◆ All except the 300/4L and 400/5.6L are highly resistant to dust
and water. Their switch panel, exterior seams, and drop-in filter
compartments have rubber linings.
◆ All (except 400/5.6L) have a built-in Image Stabilizer because no
matter how great the lens is, camera shake can spoil the shot.
Optical shake is detected by gyro sensors which provide the data
necessary to shift the image-stabilizing lens group in parallel to
neutralize the shake. This increases usable shutter speed range by
up to two full stops for hand-held shooting. There are two IS
modes: one for normal image stabilization, one for panned shots.
