Versatile in Usage

Seeing from Near to Far

The focal length range covers a medium telephoto 100mm to a super telephoto 500mm. That’s 100mm more reach than the existing EF counterpart, letting you fill the frame with things even further away.

Extend this to up to 700mm or 1000mm with the Extender RF 1.4x or Extender RF 2x respectively for shots with even greater impact.

Three IS Modes

1. IS Mode 1 for stationary subjects
2. IS Mode 2 for panning
3. IS Mode 3 for subjects with unpredictable movement

Image Stabilisation of up to 6 stops

The built-in Optical Image Stabilizer provides image stabilisation (IS) of up to 5 shutter speed stops that allows shots that was previously not possible handheld. When used with compatible cameras, it could achieve up to 6 stops IS.

Closer Than Before

The RF100-500mm f/4.5-7.1L IS USM achieves an improved minimum focusing distance of 0.9m at the 100mm end, allowing you to shoot close-ups of subjects 8cm closer than its EF counterpart.

At the 500mm telephoto end, the maximum magnification of 0.33x lets you fill the frame with small subjects at least 1.2m away for unique super telephoto close-up shots.

Dust & Drip Sealings

With a dust and drip resistant construction all the way to the extending part that keeps dust and water droplets out.

Fluorine Coating

Smudge-resistant fluorine coating on front lens that prevents moisture and oil from sticking.

Heat-Shield Coating

Signature heat-shield white coating that prevents overheating in hot weather.
