Background information: A new IS lens for macro
What is Hybrid IS?
Macro photography involves shooting close-ups of subjects, including Rowers, insects, and jewelry.
Until recently, however, there was no technology thol could compensate for the type of camero
shake common to macro photogropy. With the advent of Conan's Hybrid IS (image stobillZerl, the
ability 10 obtain sharp, blur·free macro photos when shooting handheld is now a reality, providing
on excellent solution when use of a tripod is either impractical or prohibited.
Handheld macro photography
In nOrHTlocro situations, the effects of camero shoke con be seen when shooting handheld at shutter
speeds slower than the reciprocal of the lens focal length (i.e. J/focollength in seconds). But in mocro
situations, these effects ore more pronounced, requiring shutter speeds one to two steps fosler in order
to obtain blur.free handheld photos. Conan's EF100mm f/2.8l Macro IS USM effectively solves this
problem. The advanced Hybrid IS - the first of its kind<' - offers camero shake compensation of
approximately three shutter speed steps when shooting at O.5x magnification and two steps at lx·
