ZoomingTurn the lens’ zoom ring to adjust the size of the photo field orsubject. (fig.❸)• For wide shots, turn the zoom ring toward the wide end.• For close-ups, turn the zoom ring toward the telephoto end.• Be sure to finish zooming before focusing. Zooming afterfocusing can affect the focus.• Blurring may temporarily occur if the zoom ring is quicklyrotated.• Zooming during still image exposure will result in delayedfocus.

Please set the Image StabilizerON or OFF using the camera settings. See your camera’sinstructions for details.• The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a blurred shotcaused by a subject that moved.• The Image Stabilizer may not be fully effective if you shootfrom a violently shaking vehicle or other transportation.• The Image Stabilizer consumes more power than normalshooting, so fewer shots can be taken if you use thefunction.• When shooting a still subject, it compensates for camerashake in all directions.• It compensates for vertical camera shake during followingshots in a horizontal direction, and compensates forhorizontal camera shake during following shots in a verticaldirection.• When you use a tripod, the Image Stabilizer should beturned off to save battery power.• Even with a monopod, the Image Stabilizer will be aseffective as during hand-held shooting.However, depending on the shooting environment, theImage Stabilizer effect may be less effective.■ Dynamic IS Function (Movie shooting only)The EF-M18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM is equipped with dynamic IS,effective when shooting while walking since it expands the IS range.• Achieves effective IS at the wide end.• Automatically activates when the camera is set to MovieShooting.CT1-8583-001BNO;
