Canon EF-S 18–55mm f/4–5.6 IS STM

In response to demands of photographers, this standard zoom lens is designed with Canon's Optical Image Stabilizer technology while retaining the compactness and lightness of previous models. Its stabilization allows sharp hand-held shots at shutter speeds up to four stops slower than otherwise possible. It consists of 11 elements in 9 groups and uses an Aspherical lens element to correct aberration for excellent image quality throughout the zoom range and a circular aperture for exquisite rendering of out-of-focus backgrounds. Without a lot of size, weight or cost, this lens expands picture-taking possibilities any time slow shutter speeds are needed.

Compact and lightweight, the EF-S 18-55mm f/4–5.6 IS STM packs together legendary Canon optics, a versatile zoom range and quiet operation for power on the go. Its small size lets it fit just about anywhere, making it a great lens to bring with you on a hike, to a concert or on your everyday travels. The lead screw-type stepping motor (STM) helps ensure smooth autofocus and near-silent operation, helping you capture videos with great audio and minimal background noise so you won't distract your subject in a quiet photo environment. Advanced image stabilization can result in sharper photos with minimal blur, even in low light. With a compact size, high image quality and versatile zoom, the EF-S 18–55mm f/4–5.6 IS STM is designed to fit into your life.
