Overview

  • A versatile 16-50 mm focal length takes you from wide-angle to mid-range, with a fast and constant f/2.8 aperture throughout the zoom range.

  • Lens-shift VR mechanism, with a 5.0-stop* effect at the center, effectively compensates for camera shake, giving you sharper results even in low-light conditions.
  • A compact, lightweight design allows for snapping photos on the go.
  • *Based on CIPA 2024 Standard; Yaw/Pitch correction with the Z50II (telephoto end, NORMAL mode).
