The Canon EF-S 55–250mm f/4–5.6 IS STM is a powerful telephoto zoom designed for Canon APS-C DSLRs. Offering an 88–400mm equivalent focal length, it provides strong reach for capturing distant subjects with clarity and control.
Long-range zoom with optical precision
This EF-S-mount lens covers an impressive 88–400mm equivalent range, making it well suited to distant subject matter. One Ultra-Low Dispersion glass element helps reduce colour fringing and chromatic aberrations across the zoom range, delivering greater clarity and colour accuracy.
Super Spectra Coating is applied to individual elements to minimise ghosting and flare, helping to maintain contrast and colour neutrality in bright lighting conditions.
Smooth and quiet autofocus
An STM stepping autofocus motor provides fast, smooth and near-silent focusing. This system is supported by a rear focus design, advanced AF algorithms and a high-speed CPU, making the lens effective for both stills and video. Full-time manual focus override allows for fine-tuned control whenever needed.
Built-in image stabilisation
An Optical Image Stabilizer helps minimise the appearance of camera shake by up to 3.5 stops. This makes it easier to shoot handheld in low light or at slower shutter speeds while maintaining sharp results.
Refined out-of-focus rendering
A rounded seven-blade diaphragm creates a pleasing out-of-focus quality, supporting shallow depth-of-field and selective focus techniques for more creative results.
Compact, versatile and optically refined, the Canon EF-S 55–250mm f/4–5.6 IS STM delivers long-range reach, stabilised shooting and smooth autofocus performance in a lightweight APS-C telephoto zoom.
