The mechanical body- and optical lens-based Image Stabilizers work together, through the camera’s high-speed RF mount, delivering up to 7 stops of protection from camera shake with the RF-S 18-150mm F3.5-6.3 IS STM1 and also offers the world’s highest level2 image stabilization at 8.0 stops3
And when you’re shooting with non-IS lenses (such as fast primes) the wide lens mount of the EOS-R system allows the EOS R7’s IBIS to still deliver highly effectively protection from camera shake.

This collaborative approach to image stabilisation opens up a world of new creative opportunities. Shoot handheld with shutter speeds of several seconds to blur moving subjects while keeping everything else pin-sharp – an approach that would otherwise need a cumbersome tripod.
Wildlife and sports photographers working with telephoto focal lengths will love the freedom to shoot handheld – even in low light – confident that the EOS R7’s collaborative image stabilisation is helping deliver the sharpest possible results.
