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.

Equipped with the Custom Switch, shooting and operation is more intuitive and simple. 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.
*More functions will be added through firmware update in the future.

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 convenience of the users. Also features weather sealing for 5 spots to protect from light dust, rain and snow and provide the ability to capture stunning images in less than perfect conditions.

The 24mm F1.8 FE lens provides a wide-angle of view of 83.7˚ and a short minimum focusing distance of 0.19m(0.62ft). Which allows you to take photos in various environments, whether indoors or outdoors. Combined with this wide-angle lens, you can freely create your own perspective with creativity.
