A lead screw-type STM stepping AF motor drives the RF-S 10-18mm, producing near-silent autofocus for photo and video applications. Full-time manual focus override is available allowing for more options when focusing, which is particularly useful for close-up work. Any out-of-focus areas of your frame are rendered more visually pleasing by the lens's seven-blade diaphragm.
Weighing just 5.3 oz and measuring 1.8", this wide-angle zoom is the perfect travel companion that allows you to shoot handheld for hours without discomfort. While the lens's compactness allows you to store it in most camera bags, its versatile zoom range is practical for vlogging as well as an array of shooting applications such as landscape, interior, nature, and architecture photography.
