Canon RF-S18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM Lens Launched in India - Check Price, Specs, Features

Canon's compact standard zoom for the RF-S mount — the RF-S18-45mm F4.5-6.3 IS STM — is listed on Amazon India at Rs 28,995. At 130 grams and just 44.3mm long, it's one of the smallest zoom lenses Canon makes right now.

18-45mm Range with 6.5-Stop IS

Focal length covers 18mm to 45mm — wide enough for landscapes, tight enough for casual portraits. Built-in optical image stabilisation goes up to 6.5 stops when paired with compatible Canon bodies. That's body + lens IS working together.

130g, 69mm x 44.3mm

This thing is tiny. 130 grams, 69mm diameter, 44.3mm long. It barely adds any bulk to an EOS R50 or R100.

Leadscrew-Type STM Autofocus

Canon used their leadscrew-type stepping motor here. AF is quiet and smooth — handy if you're shooting video. The 7-element, 7-group optical design keeps things simple.

Closest AF distance is 0.2m at 18mm. Switch to manual focus and you can get down to 0.15m.

Center Focus Macro — 0.26x at 45mm

There's a Center Focus Macro function. Set the lens to 45mm, switch to manual focus, and you can get up to 0.26x magnification at roughly 25cm. Not true macro, but enough for close-up detail shots of food, flowers, or small objects. In AF mode, magnification drops to 0.16x.

Knurled Control Ring

Canon's control ring sits on the lens barrel. It doubles as a focus ring and exposure control ring — you can assign aperture, shutter speed, ISO, or exposure compensation to it depending on your camera settings.

[ FIX ] Ubuntu 20.04 Bluetooth doesn't Turn On

I have been using a Logitech Bluetooth keyboard for a while now with my Ubuntu 20.04. Everything worked well without any issues until one day the operating system refused to turn on the Bluetooth. I could toggle Bluetooth On button from the Settings, but it did nothing.  After spending some time Google Searching why my Bluetooth started not working all of a sudden, and after trying a variety of commands to troubleshoot the problem, I finally found a working fix for this issue. Open a Terminal ( Ctrl + Alt + T )  and enter below commands one after another.  sudo rmmod btusb sudo modprobe btusb That's it. Your Bluetooth issue would be now solved.  I can guarantee you this problem is going to pop-up every now and then. So copy the above commands to a text file for future uses. Sometimes, even after entering above commands the bluetooth would refuse to turn on. In such cases, just Suspend the system and then wake up it again and check.

Sony DSC-RX100M5A vs DSC-RX100M5 Specs Comparison | What's the Difference ?

Sony's RX100 series of cameras are compact high end point & shoot systems with a big 1 inch sensor. The reason why the sensor is called BIG is because almost all other cameras this size come with a much smaller sensor. Bigger the sensor, better the image quality is. So you get much better images out of RX100 comparing to your other similar sized point & shoot cameras. Sony RX100 series are now at 7th generation ( RX100VII ). However, every other generation of RX100 cameras are still available and sold in the market. Even though this is the 7th generation, Sony has actually pushed out 8 cameras. The odd one out in the lineup is DSC-RX100M5A. During the early days of RX100 series, Sony used to equip the camera with Fast F1.8 lens and a smaller focal length - typically 24-70mm focal length. As years passed by, Mobile Camera sensors got better and many new phones start to ship with multiple focal length cameras on the back. So Sony, in order to stand out, switched to a lon...
