Canon 55-250mm F4-5.6 – EF-S

OVERVIEW
The Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS STM Lens for APS-C Format DSLRs (8546B005AA) is a high-quality telephoto zoom lens that allows you to get close to distant subjects, making it perfect for capturing wildlife and sports shots. With its compact and lightweight design, you can easily take it with you wherever you go.

One of the standout features of this lens is its smooth and quiet STM focusing, which is ideal for shooting movies. This technology also ensures fast and accurate autofocus when taking photos, making it a versatile lens for all your photography needs.

To help you capture sharp and clear images, the EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS STM Lens features Canon’s Image Stabiliser technology. This reduces blur caused by camera shake, allowing you to use slower shutter speeds and still achieve crisp shots. The lens also has panning detection, which turns off stabilisation in the direction of your movement, perfect for capturing fast-moving subjects.

Designed specifically for use with APS-C format DSLRs, this lens delivers superb image quality thanks to its UD glass element and Super Spectra lens coatings. These elements work together to produce sharp, high-contrast images with minimal distortion throughout the zoom range.

In addition to its technical features, the EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS STM Lens is also designed with ease of use in mind. It has a manual focus ring for precise adjustments, and a closest focusing distance of 0.85m, allowing you to capture even small subjects with clarity. The non-rotating front element also makes it easy to use filters with this lens.

Please note that this lens is not compatible with full frame 35mm cameras. It is, however, the perfect companion for your APS-C format DSLR and its standard 18-55mm zoom lens. Whether you’re a professional photographer or a hobbyist, the Canon EF-S 55-250mm f4-5.6 IS STM Lens is a must-have for capturing stunning images and videos.

Warranty CardAbout The Canon 55-250mm F4-5.6 – EF-S
The Canon EF-S 55-200mm STM lens is a high precision optic using the latest technology for great image quality and smooth focus for both photo and movie applications. As an EF-S lens, it is suitable only for use with cameras having an APS-C sized image sensor.

Compact, powerful telephoto zoom

Taking you closer to the action, the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM is the perfect companion for your EOS’s 18-55mm standard zoom lens, and ideal for wildlife, sports and travel photography. It combines powerful telephoto performance with great image quality and instinctive handling.

Optical Image Stabiliser

To help maintain sharpness, the EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM incorporates Canon’s Image Stabiliser technology. This allows shutter speeds up to 3.5 stops slower than normal to be used while protecting against the effects of camera shake – great in low light or when shooting at long zoom settings. Panning detection automatically turns off stabilisation in either the horizontal or vertical direction, helping convey a sense of speed when photographing moving subjects.

STM technology

The EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM features stepping motor (STM) technology for smooth, quiet continuous focusing when capturing video with your EOS and fast, accurate AF when shooting photos. STM focusing is so quiet that it’s not picked up by the camera’s microphone, leaving your video soundtracks free of unwanted distractions.

Delivering superb image quality

The EF-S 55-250mm f/4-5.6 IS STM uses a UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) glass element and Super Spectra lens coatings to deliver crisp, sharp, high-contrast images throughout the zoom range. A seven-bladed aperture diaphragm increases the quality of out-of-focus areas, so your subject stands out against a soft, blurred background.

Designed for great photography

A manual focus ring allows precise focus adjustments to be made quickly and easily at any time, while a closest focusing distance of 0.85m enables photography of small subjects. A non-rotating front element makes using filters straightforward.
