EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM

The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens is a standard zoom designed for Canon APS-C format DSLR cameras, offering a focal length range equivalent to 29-88mm on full-frame sensors. The lens incorporates optical image stabilization that provides up to four stops of shake correction, enabling sharper images in low-light conditions and during handheld shooting. An internal focusing system with stepping motor technology delivers smooth and quiet autofocus performance, making it well-suited for both photography and video recording.

The lens features one aspherical element that reduces chromatic aberration and maintains edge-to-edge sharpness across the zoom range. It supports Canon's Movie Servo AF for continuous autofocusing during video capture and allows manual focus override while in autofocus mode. With a minimum focusing distance of 9.8 inches, a non-rotating front element for filter compatibility, and a seven-blade circular diaphragm that produces pleasing background blur, this lens offers practical versatility for general-purpose shooting.
