Features
Powerful Zoom Range
With a versatile 4x zoom range, the RF200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM lens covers a wide spectrum from telephoto to super-telephoto, enabling you to capture distant subjects that fill the frame entirely. Its 200mm wide end offers the flexibility to encompass the subject's surroundings. The impressive 800mm maximum telephoto capability excels in photographing wildlife, birds, and various subjects, providing striking telephoto compression in both stills and video content. This 4x zoom range offers exceptional adaptability, especially when dealing with unpredictable subjects, ensuring you can continue shooting or recording video even if the subject approaches closely.
Get Even Closer
The optional Extender RF1.4x and Extender RF2x provide additional telephoto reach throughout all zoom ranges of 200-800mm. This extends your capability to get even closer to distant subjects, offering an effective telephoto power of up to 1120mm when using the Extender RF1.4x or an impressive 1600mm with the Extender RF2x.
Designed for Mobility
Weighing in at about 2,050 g, the RF200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM lens boasts a lightweight and compact design for a super-telephoto 4x zoom lens, even with an extended reach of 800mm at the telephoto end. This ensures comfortable handheld shooting and remarkable portability. With a versatile zoom range of 200-800mm, the lens eliminates the need for multiple lenses, offering practicality for various outdoor shooting scenarios.
High Image Quality
To ensure exceptional image quality across all zoom ranges, the RF200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM lens features a meticulously engineered optical design with a multi-group zoom configuration. Within its 17-element construction, three Ultra-low Dispersion glass elements are incorporated to deliver outstanding color accuracy and sharpness. Leveraging the advantages of the short back focus RF mount system, the lens achieves an impressive balance of superb image quality and a lightweight, compact form.
Up to 5.5 Stops of Shake Correction
For consistently sharp results, the RF200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM features built-in optical Image Stabilization, providing enhanced shake reduction for up to 5.5 stops** of shake correction. The lens also supports Coordinated IS when paired with an EOS R-series camera that has In-Body Image Stabilization (IBIS). This means more reliable handheld performance and clearer detail in low-light situations, without having to increase the ISO or decrease the shutter speed.
Nano USM for Quiet and Smooth AF
The lens features a Nano USM (ultrasonic motor) focus drive system which provides quiet and smooth AF, especially useful during movie recording. The RF200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM lens supports Dual Pixel CMOS AF in EOS R series cameras, even when combined with an optional Extender. Plus, it supports focus breathing correction*, in which the camera digitally corrects for changes in angle of view caused by focus movement during video recording.
* Available only when the lens is attached to a camera equipped with focus breathing correction function. When focus breathing correction is activated, viewing field of the image becomes narrower.
Durable and Dependable Build
The RF200-800mm F6.3-9 IS USM lens is built with field shooting in mind. Dust- and weather-resistant design features on the mount, switches, buttons, focus/control ring, zoom ring, and adjustment ring, along with white paint as a heat countermeasure when shooting outdoors, provide for high dependability and durability.
