Canon in-lense image stabilizers — for easy photography without blur caused by camera shake

Canon’s image stabilizer technology

Canon IS Lenses lead the world in camera shake correction

Canon IS Lenses were the world’s first removable SLR lenses to feature a special mechanism that corrects camera shake with technology rather than technique. These lenses, which are essentially Canon EF lenses with a built-in Image Stabilizer (IS) — Canon’s original system — greatly expanded the range of practical uses for handheld shooting. Even today, Canon IS Lenses remain at the forefront of camera shake correction technology.
