Silent focusing

Nano USM ensures that your soundtrack is not interrupted by the sound of focusing: with it, movements are performed almost silently.

Find out how Nano USM was made possible

The Nano USM device consists of a flexible metal body, a ceramic tension element, and a drive unit. Applying and adjusting the tension to the ceramic element controls the direction and speed of the drive unit. The result is a focusing system that provides smooth focusing with speed control.

Stay steady in the midst of action

Capturing razor-sharp images is easy with the 4-stop optical Image Stabilizer. It smooths out camera shake for high-quality results in low light or when zooming, while a dedicated camera-rotation mode automatically engages when you're tracking a moving subject.

Dynamic Image Stabilizer ensures stable footage when shooting handheld, at maximum zoom, or while traveling.

Incredible versatility across the entire focusing range

The EF-S 18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM lens lets you comfortably capture a wide range of subjects thanks to its wide focusing range. At its shortest focal length, you can capture vast landscapes. At its longest focal length, you can get closer to the action with telephoto capabilities and high-speed autofocus. With a 4-stop optical Image Stabilizer, images remain sharp and steady at full zoom, in low light or when shooting movies.
