As part of our new RF-S lens line, the RF-S18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM gives you the flexibility you want without taking up your entire camera bag. This lens is designed with smaller APS-C sensors in mind and automatically enables 1.6x crop mode when paired with full-frame EOS R cameras. It provides 100% x 100% Dual Pixel CMOS AF coverage for APS-C sensors and 80% x 80% Dual Pixel CMOS AF coverage for full-frame sensors (in crop mode). The RF-S18-45mm's compact size and clever retractable lens mechanism allow it to fit almost anywhere, making it the perfect lens to take with you on walks or anywhere you go during the day. The lead screw-type stepping motor (STM) ensures smooth autofocus and quiet operation, allowing you to capture video with excellent audio and minimal background noise, so you won't disturb your subjects in quiet photographic environments. Optical Image Stabilization provides up to 4 stops of correction, and 6 stops with Coordinated IS. This advanced image stabilization minimizes blur, even in low-light conditions, for sharper photos. Add all this together, and you get a wonderfully lightweight, versatile lens designed to fit your life.
