Super zoom
The EF 100-400 mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM is an L-series super telephoto zoom lens with image stabilization. Its fluorite and Super UD glass lenses greatly eliminate distortion and aberration. Its floating optical system also offers good image quality, whatever the focal length. This lens is compatible with EF 1.4× II and EF 2× II multipliers.

Image stabilization
The EF 100-400 mm f/4.5-5.6L IS USM incorporates a three-speed image stabilizer (IS), making it ideal for hand-held shooting. Shutter speeds up to three points slower than normal can be used without increasing camera shake. Main movement in a given direction is automatically interpreted as panning, and the image stabilizer is then deactivated in the image concerned.

Ultrasonic focusing
The ring-shaped ultrasonic motor enables extremely fast, virtually silent autofocusing. Thanks to excellent static torque, the focus point is reached precisely, without inertia. What's more, focusing can be performed manually at any time, enabling adjustment without leaving autofocus mode.

A precision lens for high image quality
High contrast, low distortion and good edge-to-edge resolution are its hallmarks across the entire focal length range. The electromagnetically-controlled, near-circular aperture diaphragm makes defocused areas smoother and more even, bringing out sharp subjects against blurred backgrounds.
