What it frames
From 3 m back it takes in a scene about 6.7 m wide at 10 mm and 3.7 m wide at 18 mm on the EOS R50.
With autofocus, Canon gives a closest focus for each zoom setting. At 18 mm it focuses down to 14 cm from the sensor, where a subject about 9.7 cm wide fills the frame of the EOS R50 (0.23x); at 10 mm, also down to 14 cm. Focusing by hand gets closer: at 10 mm, 9 cm from the sensor, a subject about 4.5 cm wide (0.5x).

Each camera page picks one lens per job by a stated rule, from the numbers alone; the kit guides build on those picks.
Wide scenes and rooms: first pick on the EOS R100, EOS R50, EOS R50 V, EOS R10 and EOS R7
The rule: the widest zoom under 600 g, lightest on a tie.
