Designed as a macro lens capable of shooting at magnifications greater than life-size (1:1) on the 1.2x super macro mode, this is also Canon’s first EF-M lens that comes with built-in Macro Lite, providing users with the flexibility to adjust light direction and strength, making it especially handy in varied lighting conditions. With its acute lens top shape, users can easily get close to subjects without worrying about casting shadows on subjects even with short working distances. Equipped with the Hybrid IS system with camera shake correction, users can enjoy macro photography even when shooting without tripod.
