Sony SEL24240 FE 24-240mm F3.5-6.3 OSS Lens

The FE 24-240mm F3.5-6.3 OSS combines a 24mm wide-angle view with a 240mm telephoto reach, providing a versatile 10x zoom range in one lens. This makes it suitable for subjects ranging from landscapes and everyday snapshots to portraits and distant scenes. Built-in Optical SteadyShot stabilization also helps reduce camera shake when shooting handheld.

Yes. Its 24–240mm focal range covers a wide variety of everyday shooting situations, allowing you to photograph different subjects without frequently swapping lenses. This can be particularly useful when traveling, where keeping your camera setup compact and ready for unexpected moments is important.

Yes. The lens is designed as a full-frame Sony E-mount lens and can also be used with APS-C E-mount camera bodies. For a specific camera-and-lens combination, Sony's compatibility checker can be used to confirm supported functionality.

Yes. Optical SteadyShot (OSS) is built into the lens to help compensate for camera movement. Gyro sensors detect movement, while a stabilization lens element shifts accordingly to reduce the effects of camera shake. This is particularly useful when shooting handheld at longer focal lengths or in lower-light conditions.

The lens uses an advanced linear motor to move the focusing system quickly and smoothly across its broad zoom range. Its internal focusing design also contributes to responsive autofocus performance and supports a relatively short minimum focusing distance.

The lens incorporates five aspherical elements and one ED (Extra-low Dispersion) glass element to help control optical issues such as spherical aberration and distortion. This optical design also helps maintain a compact form despite the extensive zoom range. Its circular aperture contributes to smoother-looking background blur.

Yes. The lens's Optical SteadyShot system provides stabilization for video as well as still photography. Its quiet linear motors and stabilization technology derived from Sony's professional camcorder development help provide smooth, quiet operation that is useful when recording movies.

Yes. The lens features a dust- and moisture-resistant construction designed to provide additional durability when shooting in a variety of outdoor environments. As with other FE lenses, this resistance does not mean the lens is completely dust- or moisture-proof.
