Direct Manual Focus (DMF) From the Manufacturer E 50mm F1.8 OSS Prime LensThis
50mm mid range telephoto lens offers a focal length that is perfect for
portraiture and a range of other subjects, a bright F1.8 maximum aperture,
Optical SteadyShot (OSS) image stabilization and impressive image quality, all
in a surprisingly compact and lightweight package. Add responsive, quiet
autofocus and aperture operation, and you have a lens that is ideally suited
to shooting movies as well as stills.TechnologyCircular ApertureWhen changing
your aperture to defocus the background, the light sources appear blurred.
This ‘bokeh’ effect of the blurred background can be enhanced with circular
aperture blades used in this lens. Conventional aperture blades have flat
sides creating unappealing polygonal shaped defocussed points of light. α
lenses overcome this problem through a unique design that keeps the aperture
almost perfectly circular from its wide-open setting to when it is closed by 2
stops. Smoother, more natural defocusing can be obtained as a result.Lens-
based optical image stabilizationGyro sensors built into the lens detect even
the slightest movement, and the stabilization lens is precisely shifted to
counteract any image blur that might occur. The use of precision, quiet linear
motors and technology inherited from high-end Sony professional camcorders
results in exceptionally quiet, effective image stabilization that contributes
to high-quality movies as well as stills.Additional FeaturesInternal
focusingOnly the middle groups of the optical system move to achieve focus, so
the overall length of the lens does not change. Other important benefits
include fast autofocusing and a short minimum focusing distance. Also, the
filter thread at the front of the lens does not rotate, which is convenient if
you’re using a polarizing filter.2011 Sony Electronics Inc. All rights
