(From Samsung lens literature) A compact standard zoom lens
that's anything but standard
The 18-55 mmIII zoom lens is the perfect companion for any Samsung compact system camera. Made for use in all general conditions, this all-round lens helps you create beautiful portraits, amazing landscapes and everything in between. Its small, lightweight design offers excellent portability; travel anywhere without feeling weighed down by camera equipment. And thanks to this entry-level lens’ ease-of-use, you’ll get professional results — even if you’re an amateur shutterbug.
Perfect pictures at your fingertips
Taking professional-quality pictures is now as easy as smiling for one. The intuitive i-Function lens gives you quick and easy, one-touch access to all your camera’s manual settings. Adjust shutter speed, aperture and more with just a twist of the lens while previewing the image in real-time. Now you can see how your settings affect the shot before you take it. Whether you’re an enthusiast or an expert, the convenient i-Function lens truly revolves around your photographic needs.
Optical Image Stabilizer for clear, sharp images
Create beautiful images that move you, even if you jostle the camera. The 18-55 mmIII zoom lens comes equipped with lens-shift optical image-stabilizing technology. Samsung’s optical image stabilizer uses tiny lens-shifts to cancel out motion blur, even in low exposure shots. And since the image is being stabilized externally in the lens, what you see through the viewfinder — and on the display — is perfectly clear.
Fast AF that captures life in an instant
A revolutionary, new type of camera calls for a lens design equally as cutting-edge, such as the lightweight 18-55 mmIII zoom lens. Optimized for Samsung’s compact system cameras, its quick and accurate contrast AF (Auto Focus) focuses in an incredible approx. 170 ms (0.17 seconds). Now you can capture even the most spontaneous moments in astonishing detail, and turn unexpected, had-to-be-there moments into memories of a lifetime.
