Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM Lens
Ultra-Wide Zoom for EOS M-Series Mirrorless Cameras
The Canon EF-M 11-22mm f/4-5.6 IS STM is a high-performance ultra-wide-angle zoom lens engineered specifically for Canon’s EOS M-series APS-C mirrorless cameras. Providing a 35mm equivalent focal length range of 18-35mm, this lens delivers an expansive field of view, making it an exceptional choice for sweeping landscape vistas, dramatic architectural interiors, real estate photography, and high-impact vlogging layouts.

Built with a unique retractable design to maintain a highly compact travel footprint, this lens combines advanced optical stabilization with a silent stepping motor to excel at both high-resolution still photography and fluid video production.

Advanced Optical Stabilization & Dynamic IS for Video
3-Stop Optical Image Stabilizer: Integrated optical image stabilization actively counteracts handheld camera shake by up to three shutter speed stops. This system allows you to confidently capture sharp, blur-free images in dim low-light conditions or indoors without needing a tripod.

Dynamic Image Stabilization: Features a specialized Dynamic IS mode tailored specifically for video recording. This advanced stabilization profile corrects for a much wider range of motion, smoothing out the heavy camera bounce that occurs when filming b-roll or walking and talking while vlogging.

Super Spectra Anti-Reflective Coatings: Optical glass elements feature Canon’s multi-layer Super Spectra Coating to eliminate internal reflections, surface glare, and ghosting. This maintains high contrast, clean black levels, and neutral color fidelity under harsh lighting or intense backlighting.

Elite Optical Formula & Smooth STM Autofocus Drive
Dual UD & Aspherical Glass Layout: Incorporates two Ultra-Low Dispersion (UD) glass elements alongside two specialized aspherical elements. This sophisticated optical matrix works together to aggressively minimize chromatic aberrations, suppress color fringing around subject edges, and eliminate spherical distortion across the entire zoom range.

STM Stepping AF Motor: Driven by a gear-type STM stepping motor that delivers rapid, pinpoint autofocus tracking for stills, and smooth, near-silent focus transitions for video. This whisper-quiet operation prevents mechanical operational noise from bleeding into your internal microphone tracks.

Rounded Seven-Blade Diaphragm: Outfitted with a circular 7-blade aperture array that produces soft, smooth, and pleasing out-of-focus background bokeh when working with shallow depth of field or close-up subjects.
