The black Samsung 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 OIS Compact Zoom Lens is a standard-length zoom lens that provides a 35mm-equivalent focal length range of 27.7-84.7mm, covering wide-angle to portrait-length perspectives to suit working in a wide variety of shooting situations. It supports the intuitive and efficient i-Function control, which allows you to control many of the camera's manual settings simply by pressing the i-Function button and rotating the lens ring. The settings adjustments can be previewed in real time and modified at any time during shooting.
The lens' design also incorporates optical image stabilization (OIS) to help reduce the appearance of camera shake to produce sharper imagery when working in low-light conditions or with greater zoom magnifications. Additionally, one aspherical element is integrated into the optical construction to help alleviate chromatic aberrations and produce imagery with greater overall sharpness and color neutrality.
