[New] Astro-Focus Mode for Astrophotography

The AF 24mm, F1.8 FE lens features a new function titled “Astro-Focus Mode” with an “LED index” for astrophotography. The “Astro-Focus Mode” can be operated through the newly-designed Focus Hold button. Once the user enters the Astro-Focus Mode, the LED index will blink once, and the focus will automatically move to the infinity position. 

[New] Focus Hold Button & Custom Switch to Maximize Usability

Customizable Focus Hold Button
Pressing this button on the lens will keep the lens locked to that focusing distance. The user can also assign other desired functions to the focus hold button through the menu setting on the camera body.

Custom Switch
Equipped with the Custom Switch, shooting and operation are more intuitive and straightforward. You can easily select various functions such as Aperture Control Mode or MF Mode from the Switch and enjoy the shooting mode that suits your personal preference.

Compact & Lightweight with Modern Design

The AF 24mm F1.8 FE weighs only 230g(8.1oz) and 71.5mm(2.8in) in length. Small size and lightweight enhance mobility when used with compact E-mount mirrorless cameras. Its matt finishing with the laser engraved font provides better readability, and the tactile mounting index adds to the users' convenience. It also features weather sealing for five spots to protect from light dust, rain and snow and provide the ability to capture stunning images in less than perfect conditions.

Advanced Fast and Quiet AF for Stills and Movies

Now Autofocus needs to consider how accurately and quickly it captures images and how quiet and smooth it is. The AF 24mm F1.8 FE features the latest STM(Stepping Motor). This larger and heavier focus lens group can be controlled more quietly and precisely, providing excellent image quality in both photos and videos.
