OVERVIEW

The lightweight and compact nature of this lens pairs perfectly with the newer compact full-frame R-Series cameras. The RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM also comes with built-in Optical Image Stabilization to further enhance your low-light shooting abilities by providing up to 4.5 stops* of shake correction, and up to 7.0 stops with coordinated IS. The RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM also supports Movie Digital IS when connected to a camera with this feature. You will enjoy the versatility of this lens for all of your upcoming creative projects!
A well-balanced standard zoom lens for lightweight
The RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM makes for a lightweight and comfortable, all-day lens whether you are vlogging or shooting stills. It's ideal for capturing a variety of subjects without having to constantly change lenses.
Excellent image quality
Taking advantage of the Canon RF lens mount, the RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM lens offers great optical quality, edge-to-edge. Its optical design includes two aspheric elements, and Canon Super Spectra Coating (SSC) to minimize ghosting and flare.
Optical image stabilization — up to 4.5 stops* of shake correction
For consistently sharp results, the RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM features built-in optical Image Stabilization, providing enhanced shake reduction for up to 4.5 stops* of shake correction. When paired with an EOS R-series camera that has In Body Image Stabilization (IBIS), the Coordinated IS allows for up to 7 stops of correction. This means more reliable handheld performance and clearer detail in low-light situations, without having to increase the ISO or decrease the shutter speed. Because of its enhanced stabilization, the RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM can also help minimize the need for a tripod.
Lead Screw-type STM
Canon's stepping motor (STM) technology is especially effective at producing smooth, quiet autofocus during video recording, even in low light. This lens is a perfect choice for multi-media content creation with quiet autofocus. And, STM focus drive provides responsive, quick - and exceptionally quiet - AF during still-image shooting, as well.
Control Ring for Direct Setting Changes
The RF24-50mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM lens incorporates a Focus/Control ring on the lens barrel that can directly adjust numerous settings including shutter speed, aperture, exposure compensation and more. Located towards the front of the lens and effectively adding a third dial to the EOS R camera's main dial and quick control dial.
Impressively compact and light at only 0.5 lbs/210g.
The compact size and light weight of the lens makes it an ideal companion on long days and adventures. It is also handy for a day out shooting and when you want to be creative without having to carry multiple lenses.
