Image Stabilizer The EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM features Canon's 4-stop Image Stabilizer (IS). Ideal for handheld work, the IS function allows the use of shutter speeds up to 4 stops slower without causing image blur. The Image Stabilizer helps when shooting in low light conditions or from moving vehicles. Looks as good as it performs The EF-S 15-85mm f/3.5-5.6 IS USM features a textured exterior finish for a high quality look and feel, that matches your EOS camera. Ultra fast, ultra quiet auto focus The ring USM (Ultrasonic motor) uses ultrasonic frequency vibrations to drive responsive, near-silent high speed auto focus. The ring type USM allows full time manual focus override without having to switch out of AF, for a greater level of usability. Super Spectra coatings Lens elements are treated with Canon's Super Spectra lens coating which suppresses flare and prevents ghosting - which is more likely to occur with digital cameras due to reflection off the image sensor. Canon's Super Spectra coating also helps achieve true color balance and increase contrast for vivid hi-fidelity images. Creative background blur A 7 blade circular aperture enables photographers to achieve a beautiful background blur; ideal for isolating your subject from the background.
