How to use the OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 100-400mm f5-6.3 IS II Lens
Capture distant subjects with exceptional clarity
The OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 100-400mm f5-6.3 IS II lens offers a 200-800mm equivalent focal length, making it ideal for capturing distant subjects in wildlife and sports photography. Its advanced optical design includes HR and ED elements, which minimise chromatic and spherical aberrations for sharp, high-contrast images. OM SYSTEM’s ZERO (Zuiko Extra-Low Reflection Optical) coating further reduces flare and ghosting, ensuring strong contrast and colour accuracy even in backlit conditions. A rounded nine-blade diaphragm produces smooth, natural bokeh for subject separation and background blur. These features make this lens an excellent choice for photographers seeking high-quality, detailed shots at telephoto distances.
Stabilise shots with upgraded IS and fast autofocus
The upgraded image stabilisation system now provides 4.5 stops of lens IS and up to 7 stops with Sync IS, offering better handheld performance at long focal lengths. The VCM autofocus system delivers fast and precise subject tracking with minimal noise, making it suitable for both stills and video. A focus limiter switch allows users to restrict the focus range, improving speed when working with subjects at known distances. These features ensure you can capture fast-moving subjects precisely and clearly, making the lens ideal for more dynamic environments.
Shoot in challenging environments
The OM SYSTEM M.Zuiko Digital ED 100-400mm f5-6.3 IS II lens features an IPX1 weather-sealed construction that protects against dust, moisture, and freezing temperatures. The front element's new fluorine coating repels water, oil, and dirt, making it easier to clean and maintain. Users can also now remove the redesigned tripod collar while the lens remains attached to the camera, improving handling and storage.

If the loan is fully repaid within the six-month deferral period, then no interest is payable, however, a £29 early settlement fee is payable in respect of repayments within these six months.
Following the six-month deferral period, Novuna Personal Finance will initiate a monthly direct debit payment for the remaining duration of the loan. Interest will be charged at a rate of 18.9% APR (representative) on outstanding balances (backdated to the first date of the loan).
