Ideal for handheld shooting, IS technology allows you to use shutter speeds up to three times slower than normal without increasing image blur. The IS function is useful when shooting in low light, capturing fast-moving action, or shooting from a moving vehicle.

Fast and quiet AF motor
The ring USM (Ultrasonic Motor) uses ultrasonic frequency vibrations for sensitive and near-silent high-speed autofocus. Manual focus is always possible, even without AF disengagement.

Super Spectra coating
Advanced Super Spectra lens coatings and lens shape are used to protect images from flare and ghosting, which can often occur in digital cameras due to reflections from the image sensor. The coating also helps achieve true color balance and enhance contrast for sharp, high-resolution images.

Transmits distance information to the E-TTL II system
The lens transmits distance information to the camera's E-TTL II flash system, ensuring optimal flash coverage metering in all circumstances.
