Compact and lightweight design
Despite a 3x magnification ratio covering 16 mm to 50 mm (24-75mm 35mm eq.), the SELP-1650 
is thin and lightweight thanks to a retracting mechanism that reduces the lens to just 3/16” (29.9 
mm).  It truly enhances the portability of E-mount cameras, giving users the means to capture 
spontaneous moments when on trips with a light and compact camera/lens combination. 
POWER ZOOM for smooth zooming
The SELP-1650 is the first  lens with an electrically driven zoom mechanism. As soon as the camera 
is powered on, the lens extends and is instantly ready for shooting.  A dual-function control ring is 
used for both zooming and manual focus.
ED glass and Aspherical lens elements
The SELP-1650 is equipped with one ED and four Aspherical elements, resulting in a high-
performance lens that is surprisingly compact. The elements correct for curvature of field on the 
wide-angle side and spherical and chromatic aberration on the telephoto side for beautiful, 
accurate, high-contrast reproduction across the entire image. 
Built-in Optical SteadyShot™ image stabilization
The built-in Optical SteadyShot image stabilization system provides a 4-stop (approx.) shutter 
speed advantage, making it significantly easier to achieve crisp, blur-free images and video.
