Canon’s sophisticated optical Image Stabilizer technology uses
miniature gyroscopic sensors to detect motion and generate
a corrective signal. An image stabilizing lens group along
the optical axis is shifted in response to the detected motion,
providing effective cancellation of unwanted lens movement and
vibration. The benefits are obvious and enormous. In still
photography, long lenses can be hand held at slower shutter
speeds without resulting in blurred images. Handheld video footage
is smoother — free of the unsteadiness that can make viewing
home movies tiresome.
Canon has the world’s foremost lens technology, backed by a
nearly 70-year track record of innovation and validated by
optical patents that have become industry standards. Canon’s
commitment to digital
camera optics is just as
firm. Using the most
advanced aspherical
design technologies,
lenses are subjected
to numerous fine
adjustments in the
assembly process. UA

absolutely minimizes
color fringing, image
smearing, ghosting and

camera designs
extraordinarily compact. The benefits are dramatic: clear,
bright images captured with outstanding contrast throughout
the zoom range.
