Image Stabilizer (EOS M5)

Content Id: 8203224200


A lens that contains "IS" in the lens name has an image stabilizer inside the lens.

If you use the lens image stabilizer function, slight camera shake is corrected so that you can shoot clearer images.

Caution

IS stands for Image Stabilizer.

Because the results of the lens image stabilizer can be viewed on the LCD monitor, a stable LCD monitor image can be obtained. This makes it possible to compose and focus shots more precisely.

In addition, because the image stabilizer can be designed to match the specifications of each lens, it realizes high-precision image stabilization in wide-ranging focal lengths with super-telephoto to standard zoom lenses.

The procedure for enabling an IS lens' image stabilizer function depends on the lens. Confirm the correct procedure for your lens.
