Specifically engineered for smaller APS-C sensors, this lens activates the 1.6x crop mode when mounted on a full-frame EOS R camera. It provides complete Dual Pixel CMOS AF coverage of 100% for APS-C sensors and 80% for full-frame sensors in crop mode. Its compact design and innovative lens retraction mechanism enable it to fit conveniently in various locations, making it an ideal companion for outings or spontaneous adventures. The lead screw-type stepping motor (STM) ensures smooth and silent autofocus, allowing you to record videos with excellent audio quality and minimal background noise, thus preventing distractions in serene photographic settings. With Optical Image Stabilization offering up to 4 stops of correction, and up to 6 stops with Coordinated IS, this advanced stabilization technology contributes to sharper images with reduced blur, even in challenging lighting conditions. Collectively, these features result in a lightweight and adaptable lens that seamlessly integrates into your lifestyle.
You can achieve remarkably clear and stable outcomes while capturing handheld images or videos. When paired with an EOS R Series camera equipped with In-Body Image Stabilization, you will benefit from enhanced shake correction. The RF-S 18-45mm f/4.5-6.3 IS STM lens employs a gear-type stepping motor to deliver smooth and quiet autofocus for both stills and video, ensuring that focus transitions are fluid while tracking a subject using Servo AF or Movie Servo AF. This refined mechanism, derived from EF-M lenses, replaces the traditional lock switch with a quicker twist action, allowing the lens to retract for optimal portability.
Take stunning photographs in any location and with any subject matter, even from a close range of 7.9 inches and a maximum magnification of 0.26x. This lens is not only perfect for everyday casual photography but also excels in capturing detailed images of food and smaller subjects that deserve to be highlighted. The circular 7-blade aperture allows for a delightful and artistic out-of-focus background blur, ensuring that your subject is prominent while the background serves as an attractive visual complement.
