Various camera functionality
The Canon EF-S 18-55mm Camera Lens incorporates Canon’s four-stop Image Stabilizer technology to minimize risk of image blur. This allows to use shutter speeds up to four times slower than usual with no discernible increase in image blur, making it ideal for low-light shooting. The 28.8-88mm equivalent focal length compact standard zoom lens is designed for APS-C format Canon EF-S mount DSLRs. A Micro Motor autofocus system ensures fast focusing performance, and a dedicated AF/MF switch allows for quick switching between auto and manual focusing methods. The optical image stabilizer reduces the appearance of camera shake by up to four shutter speed stops, allows to work in low-light conditions and with slower shutter speeds.

Aspherical lens element with Super Spectra coating
By absorbing light reflected off digital camera sensors or internal lens elements, Super Spectra coatings prevent ghosting and flare in addition to ensuring true color balance and sharp, high contrast images. Even with the aperture wide open, an aspherical lens element produces images with sharp details and high contrast. A circular aperture diaphragm provides a smooth, even blur to the background for shots taken at wide apertures, which helps to highlight foreground subjects and eliminate distractions. One aspherical element is used inside the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens to lessen distortion and spherical aberrations throughout the zoom range while maintaining sharpness and clarity.

Handy accessories
Canon EF-S 18-55mm Camera Lens is supplied with a lens cap and dust cap. A lens hood (EW-60C) and lens soft case (LP814) are available as optional accessories. Only environmentally-friendly, lead-free glass is used in the construction of the Canon EF-S 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS II Lens. Also, rounded six-blade diaphragm contributes to a pleasing out of focus quality that benefits the use of shallow depth of field and selective focus techniques.
