Image Stabilization
The Canon EF-S 10-18mm lens uses Canon’s optical image stabilization for sharp photos even when using relatively long shutter speeds without a tripod. The 4-stop image stabilization allows you to travel without a tripod and comfortably take beautiful photos in low light. Image stabilization greatly increases your success rate, providing you with more usable sharp photos at the end of the day.
Autofocus
This lightweight lens uses a stepping motor (STM) and a high speed CPU for impressive autofocus performance. This lens features continuous AF with subject tracking on compatible cameras which is great for shooting stills of moving subjects and recording video with follow focus. The stepping motor is virtually silent, very smooth, and gives reliably accurate autofocus. If you are in a difficult situation, this lens also allows you to utilize manual focus by simply spinning the focus ring at any time without the need to turn off autofocus for intuitive operation.
Construction
The Canon EF-S 10-18mm lens uses 14 elements in 11 groups that include an aspheric element and a UD glass element to minimize distortions and aberrations through the zoom range. The lens uses an enhanced lens coating to ensure flare is minimized and color balance is accurate. The Canon EF-S 10-18mm lens utilizes a circular 7-blade aperture to help produce fine background blur. This lens uses a rear focusing system which moves 4 of the lens groups internally for added durability and to ensure that your filters don’t spin when focusing or zooming.
