It captures high-quality photo images with true-to-life detail through excellent resolution, image rendering and colour reproduction. The zoom lever is particularly useful when shooting video because it allows a steady shot when zooming which is difficult with a manual zoom ring. When using for still images, it allows quick and accurate changes between focal length so that you never miss a shot. On our current range of G series cameras you can actually change the zoom speed between video, while still allowing a slow zoom on video to get a smooth action or a quick zoom when shooting still images\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp style=\"font-size: 11px;\"\u003e*For a digital interchangeable lens as of 26th August 2011\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSuppress handshake and eliminate blur with POWER O.I.S.\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe lens features POWER O.I.S.
