Its optical system is designed to help ensure high image quality while keeping the lens compact and easily portable so it stays out of the way and is with you when you need it. Bring the EF-S 18–55mm f/4–5.6 IS STM and your camera with you in your daypack or camera bag so you can capture life’s adventures on a hike, vacation or in your own backyard. | Lead Screw-type STMWhen it comes to recording video, you want to be sure you capture all the subtle sounds of what you’re recording. Thanks to its lead screw-type stepping motor (STM), the EF-S 18–55mm f/4–5.6 IS STM focuses smoothly and near-silently. There’s virtually no mechanical noise from the lens to distract from your movie – just the dialogue, music or other important sounds you want to capture. | Image StabilizationFor consistently sharp results, the EF-S 18–55mm f/4–5.6 IS STM features an improved Image Stabilizer system that provides enhanced shake reduction for up to 4 stops1 of shutter speeds. This means more reliable handheld performance and clearer detail in low-light situations, without having to increase the ISO or decrease the shutter speed. Because of its enhanced stabilization, the EF-S 18–55mm f/4–5.6 IS STM can also help minimize the need for a tripod. |
