When used with EOS R series cameras, both camera and the lens help dramatically reduce camera-shake blur, regardless of the situation, whether shooting video or stills.

Control Ring for Direct Setting Changes

The Canon RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS STM employs a control ring on the barrel that allows for numerous lens settings including shutter speed, aperture, ISO, exposure compensation, and more. This ring features a tactile, easily distinguished surface and a clicking mechanism offering tangible feedback for confident use while looking through the viewfinder. Please note that photographers and moviemakers who would prefer a silent control ring, the clicking mechanism can be removed at a Canon Factory Service Center location for a fee.

12-Pin Communication System

The RF 85mm f/2 Macro IS STM incorporates a 12-pin communication system that allows you to quickly communicate shooting data. This eases out a lot of complex processes that require high-speed communication and large data transfer like fast AF response with broader AF area, Image Stabilization, the Digital Lens Optimizer, and even the adjustment of the customizable Lens Control Ring for a quick and efficient user experience.
