Product Details:
SSM (Super Sonic wave Motor) - A built-in lens motor for faster automatic focusing with high torque at low speed, quick start/stop response, and quiet, smooth operation.

Versatile Focus Hold - Four focus hold buttons in different lens locations, plus electronic slider focus range selector switch.
