The Nano USM motor provides fast, smooth and quiet focusing, making the lens suitable for both still photography and video. The Lens Control Ring allows intuitive control over camera settings while shooting, keeping everything within easy reach.
Sharp optical performance
This lens uses Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) glass for excellent aberration control, helping maintain clarity and detail across the zoom range. Super Spectra Coating further improves performance by delivering rich, natural colours and strong contrast.
The 9-blade aperture also produces smooth background blur, helping separate your subject from the background.
Expand your reach
The RF 100–400mm F5.6–8 IS USM is compatible with Canon RF Extenders, allowing you to increase telephoto reach while maintaining metering and autofocus for photographing even more distant subjects.
