Ultimate Super Telephoto Performance
The Canon RF 600mm f4 L IS USM lens delivers refined images in even the most challenging shooting scenarios. Perfect for professional sports, wildlife and aviation, this super-telephoto lens boasts exceptional optics inherited from the Canon EF 600mm f4L IS III USM lens. Capture stills and video with outstandingly high resolution, contrast and image quality throughout, even at wide-open aperture settings.
Capture High-Speed Action at up to 30 fps
Shoot split-second action from great distances, without skipping a beat. Compatible with continuous shooting speeds of up to 30 fps (frames per second), the Canon RF 600mm f4 L IS USM lens can easily keep pace with fast movement, be it on safari or on the sports field.
Shoot Sharper with 5.5-stop Image Stabilisation
Capture significantly sharper stills and steadier video, even when you’re shooting handheld or in dim light. Image Stabilisation (IS) in the Canon RF 600mm f4 L IS USM lens powerfully corrects camera shake to provide a 5.5-stop shutter speed advantage. Choose from three different IS modes, each designed for different types of subject movement.
Smooth Aperture Control for Natural-looking Video
With the Canon RF 600mm f4 L IS USM lens comes the option to set aperture control with a resolution of 1/8 step. This lets you smoothly and finely adjust your aperture during video recording, making exposure transitions look natural – even when brightness levels suddenly change.
Compatible with Drop-in Filters
Using filters with the Canon RF 600mm f4 L IS USM lens is easy thanks to a handy drop-in screw filter holder. Whether you want to protect the rear lens surface, cut glare with a polarising filter or produce slow shutter effects with an ND filter, all you need to do is screw in a suitable 52mm filter (sold separately).
