Product Description

Canon EF 70-300mm F4-5.6 IS II USM Telephoto Zoom

  • High performance photography with specialised lens elements
  • Helpful lens display lets you view essential information at a glance

High performance photography
Delivering excellent image quality, the EF 70-300 mm Telephoto Zoom Lens will let you shoot confidently and capture every detail whether you're shooting wildlife, sports or using it for everyday reportage and portraiture.

For accurate, high-quality images, the Canon EF 70-300 mm Lens has specialised elements to reduce chromatic aberrations. Thanks to a nine-bladed circular aperture you can achieve a great depth of field, softening the focus on your subject to sharpen the foreground and subtly blur the background.

Helpful lens display
Letting you view key information at a glance, the EF 70-300 mm Lens has a unique display positioned at the top of the lens - check if your shot is steady, look at the focus distance or double-check the depth of field and aperture.

Focus on any subject smoothly and quickly with the Nano USM, which makes the lens ideal for capturing fast-moving subjects.

Everyday functionality
Designed to be as compact and lightweight as possible, the Canon Telephoto Zoom Lens is ideal for shooting on location or packing away easily for travelling.

Achieve sharp shots at lower shutter speeds thanks to a reliable image stabiliser, which reduces camera shake by up to four stops.

Understanding: Aperture

Aperture is the opening in a camera lens that controls how much light enters the camera. It's measured in f-stops like f/2.8 or f/8. Lower f-stop numbers mean wider openings, letting in more light and creating a shallow depth of field (blurry background). Higher f-stop numbers mean smaller openings, letting in less light and creating a larger depth of field (more of the scene in focus). Aperture also affects the quality of out-of-focus areas in the image (bokeh).

Understanding: Lens Types

Different lenses have different purposes to achieve different styles of images, some popular ones include:
Prime Lens: Fixed focal length, sharp images, great for portraits and dark settings.
Zoom Lens: Variable focal length, versatile for different shots and everyday use..
Wide-Angle Lens: Captures wide scenes like landscapes.
Telephoto Lens: Magnifies distant subjects, ideal for sports & wildlife.
Macro Lens: Perfect for close-up photography of small subjects.
Fisheye Lens: Ultra-wide perspective, creates unique images.

Understanding: Lens Mounts

Different camera brands use different lens mounts, which are like connectors that attach lenses to camera bodies. Each mount is specific to a particular brand and camera series. For example, Canon uses the EF and RF mounts, Nikon uses the F mount, Sony uses the E mount for its mirrorless cameras. These mounts dictate which lenses are compatible with which cameras. Some brands offer adapters to use lenses from other systems, but it's essential to ensure compatibility for proper functionality and autofocus performance.

Understanding: Manual and Autofocus

Manual focus and autofocus are two ways to adjust the sharpness of a camera lens. With manual focus, you turn a ring on the lens to bring the subject into focus yourself, giving you full control over what appears sharp in the image. Autofocus, on the other hand, relies on the camera's built-in technology to automatically adjust the focus for you, usually by detecting contrast or phase differences in the scene. Autofocus can be convenient, especially for fast-moving subjects or when you need to capture a quick shot, whereas manual focus allows for precise adjustments and creative control over the final image.
