Customizable focus hold buttons are provided in four locations for easy access when shooting in any orientation. The focus hold buttons can also be customized via a camera menu that allows assignment of other functions as required, such as Eye AF.
Versatile function ring
A versatile, convenient function ring can be switched to preset focus, assigned function control, or no function via the mode selector.
Instantly focus on a predefined point
Once a predefined focus point has been memorized via the SET button, rotating the function ring will instantly recall the preset focus point if the PRESET mode is active. This is an ideal way to preset focus points for fast sports action, for example. It works in the AF and MF modes, and is unaffected by focus range limiter settings.
Smooth power focus
If the function ring mode switch is set to FUNCTION and the power focus function is assigned, rotating the ring causes the lens to focus smoothly in the specified direction at a speed determined by the degree of rotation. Power focus is useful for executing smooth pull focus effects when shooting movies.
Fast switching from full-frame to APS-C
If the function ring mode switch is set to FUNCTION and the APS-C/full-frame switching function is assigned, the function ring can be rotated to instantly switch between APS-C and full-frame view angles (supported by the latest the α9 software version).
Slide-in filter slot
A filter slot accepts standard 40.5 mm ND and other filter types, as well as the optional VF-DCPL1 circular polarizing filter. The VF-DCPL1 circular polarizing filter can be rotated for optimum effect while installed in the lens.
Durable, versatile tripod mount
The tripod mount of the lens is equipped with bearings that enhance durability while promoting smooth rotation. There are also 90° click stops that can be switched ON or OFF according to the user's preference: ON for secure, fast 90° positioning, or OFF for reduced resistance and smooth rotation.
Focus range limiter for faster focus
A focus range limiter switch makes it possible to limit the autofocus range of the lens to 4.5 through 15 meters, 15 meters to infinity, or allow full-range autofocus with no limit. This can speed up autofocus in some situations by preventing the lens from focusing on subjects outside the target range.
