How to Use The Canon RF 28-70mm f2.8 IS STM Lens
Capture Sharp Images
The Canon RF 28-70mm f2.8 IS STM Lens’ advanced optical construction ensures you can capture sharp images with stunning detail. The fast and constant f2.8 aperture is excellent for achieving smooth bokeh, shallow depth of field, and exceptional low-light performance for shooting a range of subjects in different environments. Its premium construction of 15 elements in 12 groups with UD (Ultra-low Dispersion) and Aspheric lens elements delivers high image quality. The elements correct chromatic aberrations and compensate distortion for maximum sharpness and clarity.
Enjoy Smooth Results with Image Stabilisation
To further enhance sharpness, the Canon RF 28-70mm f2.8 IS STM Lens features 5.5 stops of Image Stabilisation. Optical image stabilisation (O.I.S) lets you capture steady handheld shots or record video footage while moving, even at lower shutter speeds, by compensating for camera shake. When paired with an EOS R camera with in-body image stabilisation (IBIS), you can get up to 7.5 stops for more robust protection and shake-free results. This adds to the lens’ versatility by ensuring you can access high-quality images in various conditions, even without a tripod.
Get Control Over Photos and Videos
The Canon RF 28-70mm f2.8 IS STM Lens is a hybrid designed to meet the needs of photographers and videographers. You can achieve cinematic photos and videos thanks to focus breathing correction, accurate autofocus, and an STM motor. These elements provide smooth focus transitions and fast, quiet AF that does not disrupt the audio in your video or your subject while taking stills.
The lens offers intuitive control so you can get the most out of your shot. You can rapidly adjust the shutter speed, aperture, or ISO while using the Control/Focus ring on the lens. An AF/MF/Control Switch also enables full manual control for maximum creative expression.
Ready to Shoot Anywhere
With a compact, lightweight, and weather-sealed design, the Canon RF 28-70mm f2.8 IS STM Lens is suitable for shooting anywhere. The RF-mount design and unique retracting mechanism keep the lens under 10cm long and just 490g in weight, which is smaller and lighter than similar models and makes it easy to carry on long shoots. Dust and moisture resistance add to the on-the-go shooting capabilities, providing the lens with enhanced protection and giving you the confidence to capture your subjects in the elements.
