    Solution

    The menu item [IS Mode] is not displayed in the following cases:
    ・When EF or EF-S lense is attached
    ・When EF-M lense with no Image Stabilizer function attached.
    Also, even in EF-M lenses with Image Stabilizer function, when set to the [ ] [ ] [ ] [ ]modes, [IS Mode] is not displayed.
    NOTE
    • Lenses with built-in image stabilization are named with "IS". IS stands for Image Stabilizer.

    EF-M Lenses
    For non-IS lenses, such as EF-M 22mm F2 STM, the [IS Mode] 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 [IS Mode] option is set to [Continuous].

    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.

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

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

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

    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).
