Remarkable image rendition is achieved by comprehensive correction of aberrations and distortions. Special care was taken to thoroughly minimize color fringing caused by lateral chromatic aberration which is particularly noticeable at high resolution in digital photography. DG lenses can offer both high contrast and subtle tonal gradations, unmarred by flare and ghosting, thanks to Sigma's digitally-optimized optical design and original Super Multi-Layer Coating technology which suppress reflections between image sensor and lens surfaces. Large image circles assure ample peripheral illumination to prevent vignetting OS - Optical Stabilizer An optical stabilizer mechanism helps assure a sharp image while giving you freedom of movement and more latitude in camera settings.Sigma has developed special software (SIGMA Optimization Pro) that can update the lens firmware and adjust parameters such as focus. In addition, the lenses from our Sports line have customizable AF speed, focus limiter, OS function and full-time manual focus function. The “Custom Mode Switch” is the device for further customization on the dedicated lenses.
