Fast and incredibly quiet, the EF-S 18–135mm f/3.5–5.6 IS USM’s
new NANO USM AF system not only delivers high speed AF, but also
makes quiet, fast and smooth AF transitions that can be ideal for
movie . Combining ring USM and STM (lead-screw type)
features, the diminutive chip-shaped ultrasonic motor is
engineered to help deliver high-speed, smooth, precise and
near-silent operation, plus full time manual focus (when using
one- AF).
Improved AF speeds up to 4.3x* (Tele) and 2.5x* (Wide) for faster
autofocus.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to its new NANO USM motor, the Canon EF-S 18–135mm
f/3.5–5.6 IS USM focuses incredibly fast – a clear advantage for
action photography and for working on the fly. Compared to the
previous model*, it focuses approximately 4.3 times* faster at
the telephoto end, and 2.5 times* faster at the wide end when
using the viewfinder, for a noticeable speed advantage that can
help ensure a stellar photo.
* Based on Canon’s standards. As compared to the EF-S 18–135mm
f/3.5–5.6 IS STM.
Compatible with new Power Zoom Adapter PZ-E1, providing
electrical zooming that helps deliver more natural zooming while
shooting video.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The EF-S 18–135mm f/3.5–5.6 IS USM is compatible with Canon’s new
Power Zoom Adapter PZ-E1 for electronically controlled zooming.
This convenient accessory works with the lens to enhance an EOS
camera’s video capabilities by providing a smooth and near-silent
powered zooming function that’s an ideal complement to the lens’s
speedy AF. The PZ-E1 has adjustable zoom speeds, an integrated
locking mechanism, offers remote controlled zooming and is
designed to integrate seamlessly with the EF-S 18–135mm f/3.5–5.6
IS USM for streamlined operability.
Image Stabilizer effect at up to 4* stops of shake correction
helps capture sharp images.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
Thanks to a newly enhanced Image Stabilizer system that features
a more rigid mechanical structure and the incorporation of faster
algorithms, the EF-S 18–135mm f/3.5–5.6 IS USM’s Image Stabilizer
effect has been improved from 3.5 stops to 4* stops for better
performance in even more challenging situations. Whether shooting
in low light or any time a slow shutter speed is necessary, the
EF-S 18–135mm f/3.5–5.6 IS USM’s Image Stabilizer helps deliver
stable, sharp results.
* Based on CIPA (Camera & Imaging Products Association)
standards. Testing performed using the EOS 7D Mark II digital SLR
camera at a focal length of 135mm.
Dynamic IS helps reduce camera shake when shooting video for
improved image quality even when the user is in motion.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
When video, the EF-S 18–135mm f/3.5–5.6 IS USM’s
Dynamic IS system helps compensate for camera shake such as when
handholding the camera or making movies while walking, especially
when using wide focal lengths. By compensating for the camera’s
motion, it helps deliver sharp, accurately focused images with
ease.
One UD lens and one PMo aspheric lens help provide
high-resolution and high-contrast images with reduced chromatic
aberration throughout the zoom range.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The EF-S 18–135mm f/3.5–5.6 IS USM features a number of advanced
Canon optics to provide a sharp, high-resolution picture
throughout its zoom range. Featuring a UD lens and a
high-precision aspherical lens element, its optical formula helps
reduce chromatic aberrations, flare and ghosting, reliably
delivering excellent results.
Premium exterior design includes a satin finish, sleek
silhouette, black ring and metallic for high performance
with a sophisticated look and feel.
-----------------------------------------------------------------
The EF-S 18–135mm f/3.5–5.6 IS USM features a new exterior design
that gives it a feel of power and refinement. An elegant shape,
comfortable zooming and focus rings as well as easy-to-read
markings complement its new finish. A metallic and a new
black ring that separates the zoom and focus rings add to the
lens’s feeling of quality.
