Description

The lens’ Image Stabilizer cannot be set (EOS M3)

Solution

If you have an EF-M lens with image stabilization attached, image stabilization can be adjusted in the menu.
REFERENCE
  • Lenses with built-in image stabilization have "IS" in their names. IS stands for Image Stabilizer.

Changing the IS Mode Settings

(1) EF-M Lenses:
For non-IS lenses, such as EF-M 22mm F2 STM, the [Image Stabilizer] menu option will not be displayed.
For lenses equipped with an IS feature, such as EF-M 18-55mm F3.5-5.6 IS STM, refer to the following procedure to set IS.
At the time of purchase, the [Image Stabilizer] option is set to [Enable].

1. 1. Set the cameras power to [ON].

2. Press the [MENU] button.

3. Press the [ ], [ ] buttons or turn the [ ] dial to select the [ - 2] tab.

4. Press the [ ], [ ] buttons or turn the [ ] dial to choose [IS Settings], then press the [ ] button.

5. Press the [ ], [ ] buttons or turn the [ ] dial to choose [IS Mode], then press the [ ] button.

REFERENCE
  • [IS Mode] is not displayed when a non-EF-M lens is attached. Use the image stabilization switch on the lens instead.

6. Press the [ ], [ ] buttons or turn the [ ] dial to choose the desired option, then press the [ ] button.


OnIf using a lens with built-in image stabilization, the camera compensates for camera movement and hand shaking to stabilize the image when shooting.
OffDeactivates image stabilization.

6. Press the [MENU] button to close the menu.

(2) EF Lenses:
The Mount Adapter EF-EOS M is used to attach EF lenses to the EOS-M. When an IS equipped EF lens is used, the setting will be made with the lens instead of the cameras menu.

The Image Stabilizer will operate when the lens [STABILIZER] (Image Stabilizer switch) is set to [ON] as shown in the bellow image.
Non-IS EF lenses do not include a [STABILIZER] (Image Stabilizer switch).

REFERENCE
  • If image stabilization cannot prevent camera shake, mount the camera on a tripod or take other measures to hold it still. In this case, set [IS Mode] to [Off].
  • Do not use image stabilization for bulb exposures. Doing so may lead to incorrect image stabilization behavior.
