The Lens’ Image Stabilizer Cannot Be Set (EOS M5)

Solution

You can configure image stabilization via the camera menu when using an EF-M lens with image stabilization.
NOTE
  • Lenses with built-in image stabilization are named with "IS". IS stands for Image Stabilizer.

Changing the IS Mode Settings

  • 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. Set the camera’s power switch to [ON].

2. Press the [MENU] button.

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

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

NOTE
  • [IS Mode] is not displayed for lenses other than EF-M lenses. Use the image stabilization switch on the lens instead.

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

ContinuousCorrects camera movement or camera shake using built-in image stabilization performed by the lens.
OffDeactivates image stabilization.

7. To return to the previous screen, press the [MENU] button.

  • 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 camera’s 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).

NOTE
  • 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].
