The Canon EF-S 10-22mm f/3.5-4.5 USM is a compact, lightweight super wide-angle zoom lens for Canon EF-S mount SLR cameras. Its 10–22mm focal range delivers an ultra-wide perspective for expansive landscapes, interior shots and dramatic architectural images. The lens contains 13 elements in 10 groups and supports close focusing down to 0.24 m while maintaining a small form factor suitable for travel.

Advantages

How to use

Attach the lens to a compatible Canon EF-S mount camera body until it locks. Use the 10–22 mm zoom range to compose wide scenes or interiors; for maximum depth and a broader field of view, set the focal length toward 10 mm. Rely on the USM autofocus for fast focusing — you can override autofocus at any time by rotating the focus ring for precise manual adjustments. Maintain a minimum working distance of approximately 0.24 m for close subjects.

Recommendations

For best results, use a tripod for long exposures or interior shots to avoid camera shake at slow shutter speeds. Consider a circular polarizer or neutral density filter on the 77 mm thread to control reflections and exposure when shooting landscapes and architecture.
