Canon RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM Zoom Lens

The Canon RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM lens is the perfect walk-around lens for EOS R series mirrorless camera owners. This compact and lightweight 10x zoom lensZOOM LENSAllows a camera to, unlike a fixed-focal length or prime lens, change smoothly from a long shot to a close-up or vice versa by varying the focal length. A true zoom lens, also called a parfocal lens, is one that maintains focus when its focal length changes. Due to more moving parts, zoom lenses often produce images of slightly lesser quality than their prime lens counterparts. However due to the inherent flexibility of being able to vary the focal length, they are extremely popular for photography where composition needs to be adapted quickly - such as at weddings, for example. is ideal for travel and everyday photography. With a 24-240mm range, the RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM can cover a variety of subjects at impressive ranges from 50 cm wide-angle to 78 cm telephotoTELEPHOTOA lens with long focal length capable of making distant objects appear nearer thus larger. Essentially, it isolates and magnifies the subject so that it appears as a full image when shooting from a distance. Telephoto lenses are ideal for photographing subjects that are further away, such as wildlife and sports photography.. Canon’s Nano USM provides accurate and fast AF for still images and is noticeably silent during movie shooting as it smoothly tracks a moving subject. With these features and more, including control that lets you easily change settings, the RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM lens gives you the extensive range you need so you can spend less time changing lenses and more time capturing amazing photos and videos – even on your travels.

Compact, Lightweight 10x Zoom RF Lens

With a high-magnification of 10x optical zoom and offering coverage from 24mm wide-angle to 240mm telephoto, the Canon RF 24–240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM is a perfect all-in-one travel lens that can be used for any number of shooting scenarios. From landscapes to snapshots and videos, and anything else that catches your eye, the RF 24–240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM range is highly adaptable.

High Image Quality & Bright f/4-6.3 Lens ApertureAPERTUREAperture, shutter speed and ISO form what is known as the exposure triangle in photography. Aperture refers to an opening inside the lens, similar to the iris of your eye, that changes in diameter to control the amount of light that enters a camera. Aperture is expressed in f-stops: the lower the number, the larger the aperture, e.g. f/1.4 is larger than f/8. A larger (or wider) aperture allows more light to pass through the lens to the sensor (film) as a picture is taken, particularly useful in low-light conditions. A larger aperture also produces a shallower depth-of-field, and thus more background blur.

With an incredibly bright focal lengthFOCAL LENGTHMeasured in mm, it is the distance from the focal point of a lens (its centre or curved mirror where light converges) to the plane of the image sensor (film) when an object is in focus. A shorter focal length lens sees a wider image and a longer focal length brings your subject closer. For example, a 15mm lens sees a very wide image and is perfect for landscape photography. Conversely, a 500mm lens sees a very narrow image, brings the subject much closer and is thus great for subjects that are far away, like a bird in a tree. With zoom lenses, its minimum and maximum focal lengths are indicated, for example, as 24-105mm. A zoom lens allows you to change the lens’ focal length, with shorter (wide-angle) and longer (telephoto) options, whereas a fixed focal length lens requires you to move back and forth to find the correct image composition. lens, the Canon RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM distinguishes itself by maintaining incredibly high image quality, edge to edge, even wide open at its f/6.3 maximum aperture. With 21 elements in 15 groups and a 7-blade aperture system, it can deliver sharp and detailed images with gorgeous background blur and remarkable consistency.

Optical Image Stabilisation with up to 5 Stops* of Shake Correction

The Canon RF 24–240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM lens is designed to work in conjunction with the EOS R mirrorless series cameras, with both the camera and the lens sharing data to dramatically reduce camera-shake blur, regardless of the situation, whether shooting video or stills. With up to 5 stops* of stabilisation, it delivers impressively clear results.

*Based on CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association) standards. Testing performed using the EOS R mirrorless camera at a focal length of 240mm. The number of stops may vary based on the camera model used.

High Speed, Smooth and Quiet Auto Focus with Nano USM

The Canon RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM uses Canon's NANO USM system which combines conventional ring USM AF and features a diminutive chip-shaped ultrasonic motor that's engineered to help deliver high-speed, smooth, precise and near-silent operation, plus full-time manual focus (when using One-shot AF).

First Canon Lens with Dynamic IS for Full-frame Cameras**

Helping to deliver a wide range of image stabilisation correction, the Canon RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM lens is the first Canon lens that features Dynamic IS for full-frame cameras**. The built-in Image Stabilisation helps enhance performance, even in low-light situations, and is especially effective when recording videos.

**This function is effective during Movie Mode.

Minimum Focusing Distance of 50 cm (Wide), 78 cm (Telephoto)

Featuring a minimum focusing distance of 50 cm (wide) and 78 cm (telephoto) with a maximum magnification of approx. 0.26x*, the Canon RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM is capable of capturing sharp and detailed images from nearly any distance. Whether you’re shooting videos, still images of landscapes, close-ups, or a range of scenes while travelling, the RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM can easily provide sharp images with minimal distortion.

Control Ring for Direct Setting Changes***

The Canon RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM lens incorporates a control/focus ring*** on the lens barrel that can directly adjust numerous settings including shutter speedSHUTTER SPEEDAperture, shutter speed and ISO form what is known as the exposure triangle in photography. Shutter speed is the length of time that a single frame is exposed for, more specifically how fast the shutter opens and closes to permit light entering the lens, to reach the sensor. A slow shutter speed means a longer exposure time useful for motion blur like the silky look of flowing water, whereas a fast shutter speed means a shorter exposure time useful for freezing the appearance of motion in images like a hummingbird in flight. It is measured in seconds starting at 1 second and halving our doubling in time. For example: 1/2s, 1/4s and 1/8s are all fractions of a second with 1/2s being the longest exposure time, 1/4s half of that and 1/8s another half etc., aperture, exposureEXPOSUREExposure is controlled by three elements: Aperture, Shutter Speed and ISO. Achieving the correct exposure is similar to collecting rain in a bucket, up to an optimum level. The rate of rainfall is out of your control (light), yet you can control these three factors: the bucket’s width (lens aperture), the duration you leave it in the rain (shutter speed), and how effective your bucket is in collecting rain (ISO). These three elements work together to control the amount of light per unit area, preventing underexposure (too dark) or overexposure (too bright), giving you a natural looking image. compensation and more. Located towards the end of the lens, the control/focus ring has a tactile, easily distinguished surface and provides tangible feedback for confident use while looking through the viewfinder. The RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM lens does not have the clicking mechanism as the previous RF lenses have, providing smooth focusing and exposure control while recording videos.

***The Control ring is the same as the Focusing ring.

High-speed Communication with the Camera

Designed to quickly process data, the Canon RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM features a 12 pin communication system that is the fastest yet for a Canon lens/camera combination. This accelerates AF, Image Stabilisation, the Digital Lens Optimiser and more, helping to simplify complex operations and provide a quick and reliable user experience.

• Lens Information Display: Another helpful feature, the Canon EOS R series cameras can display lens information right in the viewfinder, making it easy to confirm the lens’s focal length without looking away from the subject at hand.
• In-camera Digital Lens Optimiser:  The EOS R system’s 12 pin communication system enables the Digital Lens Optimiser, which works in-camera to combat aberrations and image deterioration, especially in the edges of the image frame when shooting at a large aperture. Data from the RF 24-240mm f/4-6.3 IS USM lens is transferred automatically to the camera body, facilitating near immediate correction for clear, detailed images.
