Canon EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM Lens (Graphite Black)

Versatile shooting that’s perfect for Canon EOS M-series mirrorless cameras

The high-quality black Canon EF-M 15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM 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. with a 15-45mm focal range and 7-blade circular 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. is ideal for a wide range of creative shooting. Capture everything from dramatic landscapes to beautiful portraits with smooth background blurring as well as fast paced action.

Features

• EF-M Mount Lens / APS-C Format
  
• 24-72mm (35mm Equivalent)
• Maximum Aperture: f/3.5-6.3
• Three Aspherical Elements
• Optimised Lens Placement Reduces FlareFLAREOccurs when a point light source such as the sun or an artificial light (that is brighter than the rest of the scene), hits the front element of a lens resulting in a lack of contrast, haze, or unwanted semi-transparent objects being present in the image. You can avoid lens flare with a lenshood or filters, however, the effect is also useful for bringing artistic elements into an image, such as sun rays peaking out from behind a rock formation.
• STM Stepping AF Motor
• Full-Time Manual Focus Override
• Optical Image Stabiliser
• Retractable Design for Compact Profile

Easy to carry thanks to light, collapsible, stylish design

Easy to carry wherever you travel, the lens uses 3 aspherical lens elements to ensure high image quality despite its extremely compact design. The small, collapsible body weighs just 130 g and is only 44.5 mm long with a stylish aluminium exterior to match your mirrorless camera.

Easily record smooth & steady movies

STM stepping motor technology ensures near-silent continuous focusing in movie mode, so your movies are quiet and smooth. 

Pin sharp images with Optical Image Stabiliser

Camera shake is not a problem. Shoot pin-sharp photos with no perceptible increase in blur, even when shooting at full zoom or handheld in low light, thanks to Canon’s 3.5-stop optical Image Stabiliser technology.

Capture spontaneous moments with fast AF

Capturing the moment in beautiful stills is easy thanks to a fast and accurate, high precision autofocus system. Take control with a Full-Time Manual focus override, which makes it possible to adjust focus any time you want.
