Nano AR coating suppresses flare and ghosting, and fluorine coating helps keep the front element clean. Like other G Master lenses, an 11-bladed circular aperture is employed to give attractive bokeh.<\/p>\n<p>Key benefits of the new optic include lightest-in-class construction, at 3040g, with the balance point placed towards the centre of the barrel rather than the front for more comfortable handling. The magnesium-alloy barrel is dust- and moisture-resistant, while the lens hood is constructed from carbon fibre for light weight and durability. Sony says that it\u2019s increased the mount strength and reliability too, with seven screws connecting it to the main barrel. It\u2019s also designed the lens\u2019s control layout to be identical to the FE 400mm F2.8 GM OSS, so photographers can switch between the two easily.<\/p>\n\t\t<div id=&quot;attachment_128710&quot;  class=\"c-caption aligncenter\" style=\"max-width: 620px\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Sony_FE_600mm_F4_GM_OSS-02.jpg\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-128710\" src=\"\/wp-content\/uploads\/2019\/06\/Sony_FE_600mm_F4_GM_OSS-02-600x400.jpg\" alt=\"Sony FE 600mm F4 GM OSS\" width=\"600\" height=\"400\" \/><\/a>\t\t\t<p class=\"c-caption__text\">The Sony FE 600mm F4 GM OSS mounted on the Sony Alpha 7 III<\/p>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\n<p>Dual XD linear motors are employed for autofocus, and Sony says that newly developed control algorithms will enable fast-moving subjects to be tracked precisely. A switch on the lens enables Full Time DMF mode for manual override, with Linear Response MF included for an intuitive manual-focus experience. Three-mode optical image stabilisation includes settings for panning and for tracking unpredictably-moving subjects. Last but not least, Sony says that the lens is fully compatible with its 1.4x and 2x teleconverters, and is promising outstanding imaging performance along with fast, precise AF.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>As the tenth member of the firm\u2019s premium G Master range, the Sony FE 600mm F4 GM OSS promises to produce ultra-sharp images with attractively blurred backgrounds.
