The minimum focusing distance is 1.8m (5.9 ft.) at all focal lengths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe loading=\"lazy\" title=\"The RF100-300mm F2.8 L IS USM Demo Footage by Canon Co-Lab Ambassador Ben Hagarty\" width=\"800\" height=\"450\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/6DkWvFzfCgs?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The in-body optical stabilization system offers up to 5.5 stops of correction that can be increased to six stops when paired with EOS R series cameras featuring In-Body Image Stabilizer (IBIS).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>2 Nano USM focus motors help to achieve outstanding image quality throughout the focusing range, from infinity to close-up thanks to 2 focusing groups that are independently actuated.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Both the 1.4x and 2x extenders are supported.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>On the lens body you&#8217;ll find a dedicated, programmable control ring, with click-stop operation.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The lens measures approx. \u00f85.1 in. x 12.7 in.
