Weighing just 215g and measuring 61.8mm, the EF-S 18-55mm f/4-5.6 IS STM makes your EOS DSLR more portable, so it’s easier to keep with you when you’re out and about. Wide-angle zoom settings are perfect for landscape photography, letting you include foreground detail in the frame and create leading compositions. Zoom in and use the short telephoto setting for portraits or detail shots, when you want your subject to be larger on the frame. STM autofocus works more steadily when shooting video, for slower focus transitions that look smoother and more natural. Hand-held video footage is stabilised by the lens’s IS technology, for super-steady results. Optics designed to deliver movie footage that’s rich in detail with excellent sharpness. A manual-focus ring and Image Stabiliser and Focus Mode controls are easy to locate with the camera at your eye, so you can concentrate on the scene unfolding in front of you. Optional lens hood preserves image quality when shooting into the light, and protects the lens from accidental knocks.
