Taking too many blurry pictures? Canon IS * Lenses are the solution! I 01 I
Nice shot! Or is it? When you enlarge your image, the print looks fuzzy. Frustrating! But a common experience. In most cases, this accidental blurring is caused by camera shake - especially when shooting with a telephoto lens or at slow shutter speeds in dark places. Even if you try to stay still, the camera isn't perfectly steady in your hands when the shutter button is pressed. But now there's a great solution: Canon 15* Lenses. For beautifully clear, blur-free photos. With ease.

\ IS benefits \ \ \ When does camera shake tend to happen, and what causes it to occur? Perhaps you've encountered blurred images when enlarging pictures: photos that look fine in smaller postcard sizes appear quite fuzzy at greater size. In fact, camera shake happens mare frequently than you'd think. There are several reasons for accidental blurring.
• Camero shake. How do Canon IS Lenses repress blurring caused by camera shake? Canan IS Lenses detect camera shake with a pair af built-in gyro sensors, shifting lens components in Image Stabilizer Parallel Movement Principle 1. Lens When still the direction of the vibration to counteract it and Capturing element ".~ ~ ~ prevent blurring. When the shutter button is pressed halfway while the IS function is on, compensation for camera shake is activated in just 0.5 seconds.
In-lens image stabilizer design benefits \ \ \ Why is each individual lens optimized for shake correction? Each Canan IS Lens has a unique aptical design for specialized performance. So, Canon's optical correction systems and control mechanisms are customized for effective positioning in each lens model. Canon builds these mechanisms into the lenses to ensure that the optical correction system is optimized for each individual lens.
• Camera shake. ---------------------------------------------------- OfJt How does a stable viewfinder image help you take better picture? Looking into the viewfinder while focusing and framing is essential to SLR shooting, so a stable viewfinder image is crucial. Canon IS Lenses correct for camero shake by shifting certain optical components in inverse relation to the lens movement, maintaining the position of incoming light rays on the film or capturing elements.
In-lens image stabilizer design benefits Improve your framing accuracy! Blurry viewfinder images lead to framing errors, so you can inadvertently cut off important details, especially when using a telephoto zoom lens. With Canon IS Lenses such framing errors are a thing of the post. Canon's in-lens image stabilizers enable accurate framing when you fill the frame with port of your subject. Since the viewfinder image is blur-free, you can check every detail and make subtle framing adjustments.
• Camera shake. Capture fleeting photo opportunities! Concentrating on your subject is difficult if the viewfinder image is blurred. When you lose concentration, you tend to miss small gestures and other momentary photo occasions. Canon's inlens image stabilizer gives you a clear viewfinder image, so it's easier to notice and capture such photo opportunities. o o o 0 o o Viewfmder image with IS off VIEwfinder Image wllh IS on Canon IS Lenses help here ...
