Features
1. The Image Stabilizer gives the equivalent
effect of a shutter speed four stops faster*.
This function provides optimal image
stabilization depending on shooting conditions
(such as shooting still subjects and following
shots).
2. Aspheric lens element for excellent imaging
performance.
3. Great close-ups at 0.25 m/0.8 ft at all focal
lengths.
4. A truly round aperture hole results in a nicer
background blur.
* Based on [1/(focal length x 1.6)] second. Generally,
it requires a shutter speed [1/focal length] second or
faster to prevent camera shake (in 35mm format.
With an EF-S lens, it would be [1/(focal length x
1.6)] second).
