Canon RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens
As part of Canon's new RF-S lens line, the RF-S18–45mm F4.5–6.3 IS STM gives you the flexibility you desire without taking up your whole camera bag. This lens was designed with smaller APS-C sensors in mind, and when attached to a full frame EOS R camera, automatically enables the 1.6x crop mode. It offers 100% x 100% Dual Pixel CMOS AF coverage for APS-C sensors, and 80% x 80% Dual Pixel CMOS AF coverage for Full Frame sensors (in crop mode). The small size of the RF-S18–45mm F4.5–6.3 IS STM and clever lens retraction mechanism lets it fit just about anywhere, making it a great lens to bring with you on a walk or wherever the day takes you. The lead screw-type stepping motor (STM) helps ensure smooth autofocus and quiet operation, letting you capture videos with great audio and minimal background noise so you won't distract your subject in a quiet photo environment. Optical Image Stabilization provides up to 4 stops of correction, and up to 6 stops with Coordinated IS. This advanced image stabilization can result in sharper photos with minimal blur, even in low light situations. When you add all of this together, you get a wonderful, lightweight, and versatile lens that is designed to fit into your life.
You can capture amazingly clear and steady results while shooting handheld photos or videos and when combined with an EOS R Series camera with an In-Body Image Stabilizer, you can experience the additional benefits of even more shake correction. The RF-S18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM lens uses a gear-type stepping motor to provide smooth and quiet autofocus when shooting both still and video, so focusing appears seamless while following a subject with Servo AF, or Movie Servo AF. This updated mechanism (based on EF-M lenses) changes the lock switch to a faster action twist motion that allows the lens to retract into itself for maximum portability.
Capture amazing shots wherever you are and whatever your subject, even at a close distance of 7.9 inches at a maximum magnification of 0.26x, making this not just an ideal lens for everyday casual shooting but for more intricate shots like food and smaller subjects you really want to show off. You'll have no problem getting that creative, fun and pleasant out-of-focus background blur we all love with the circular 7-blade aperture, so your subject stands out and the background provides a beautiful backdrop that's visually appealing in itself.
