Canon’s latest optical Image Stabilizer (IS) technology provides up to 4-stop compensation for image blur caused by camera shake and slow shutter speeds. Photographers normally shooting handheld at 1/250 sec can switch on IS to obtain a similarly steady and blur-free result with a shutter speed of just 1/15 second. To ensure consistently accurate results at all zoom positions, the IS system within the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens has been optimized for the specific focal length range. Since the IS system is based within the Canon EF-S 18-55 lens, the results are visible through the viewfinder when framing the image.
The Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens also incorporates a circular aperture. The Canon EF-S 18-55 lens also employs Canon’s patented Super Spectra coatings to suppress flare and ghosting – more prone to occur with digital cameras due to reflection off the image sensor. By increasing light absorption, coatings reduce reflections off lens element surfaces to deliver crisp, undistorted images with natural color balance.
