Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.

The Canon EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS 

STM lens is a high-performance high-

magnification zoom lens equipped with an 

Image Stabilizer, and has been developed for 

digital SLRs compatible with EF-S lenses*.

"IS" stands for Image Stabilizer.

"STM" stands for stepping motor.

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).

*  Only the following cameras are compatible with 

EF-S lenses (as of June 2012):

  EOS 7D, EOS 60D, EOS 50D, EOS 40D, EOS 

30D, EOS 20D, EOS 20Da, EOS REBEL T4i/650D, 

EOS REBEL T3i/600D, EOS REBEL T2i/550D, 

EOS REBEL T1i/500D, EOS REBEL XSi/450D, 

EOS REBEL T3/1100D, EOS REBEL XS/1000D, 

EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi/400D DIGITAL, EOS 

DIGITAL REBEL XT/350D DIGITAL, EOS DIGITAL 

REBEL/300D DIGITAL

2.  Aspherical and UD lens elements result in 

outstanding image delineation.

3.  Electronic manual focusing made possible 

by electronically detecting the rotation of the 

focusing ring.

4.  Manual focusing is available after the subject 

comes into focus in autofocus mode (ONE 

SHOT AF).

5.  Circular aperture for producing beautiful 

softfocus images.

6.  Improved Movie Shooting Functions

•  The EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM is 

equipped with dynamic IS, effective when 

shooting while walking since it expands the IS 

range.

•  Stepping motor achieves quiet, smooth Movie 

Servo AF.

*1: 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 x1.6)] 

second).

*2: Function compatible with the following camera (as 

of June 2012): 

 

EOS REBEL T4i/650D
