Canon has unveiled the RF-S 14-30mm F4-6.3 IS STM PZ, a compact, ultra-wide zoom lens tailored specifically for video-focused creators. With a non-extending design and a built-in power zoom mechanism, this is Canon’s first RF lens to offer internal zoom control—delivering precise and fluid focal length transitions ideal for vlogging, livestreaming, and cinematic content creation.
Built with creators in mind, the lens offers a versatile 14-30mm focal length, equivalent to 22-48mm on full-frame cameras, giving users the flexibility to switch between expansive wide-angle scenes and more intimate close-ups. The lens incorporates Optical Image Stabilisation for up to 5 stops of shake reduction, ensuring stable footage even during handheld shooting. This makes it especially appealing to mobile content creators working without tripods or gimbals.
Inside, Canon has included one UD elements and aspherical lenses, along with a Super Spectra coating to suppress flare and enhance contrast. A standout feature is the ability to operate the zoom remotely—either through a connected smartphone or Canon Bluetooth remote—offering greater flexibility for solo shooters. It’s also optimised for Canon’s EOS R50 V, which includes a built-in zoom rocker that pairs seamlessly with the lens’s power zoom.
Measuring just 181g, the RF-S 14-30mm F4-6.3 IS STM PZ is light enough for extended handheld use and stable enough for gimbal setups. The STM autofocus system ensures quiet and smooth focusing, while a 15cm minimum focus distance allows users to capture detailed close-ups—perfect for showcasing products or DIY crafts.
This release reflects Canon’s continued investment in its creator-focused ecosystem, which already includes the pocket-sized PowerShot V10. By combining advanced video-centric features with a sleek and practical design, the RF-S 14-30mm F4-6.3 IS STM PZ further empowers content creators looking for pro-level control in a travel-friendly package.
