In a professional video recording environment that utilizes follow focus, it provides a par-focal function that maintains focus on the subject when zooming in and out.

In addition, the focus speed is smoothly controlled when shooting the video on the autofocus mode, this lens provides a very stable video, in which focus wobble is reduced.
