In general, you will want to use lenses with STM focusing ability if you plan to shoot video. These lenses work very well with dual pixel AF and provide smooth focus transitions. They are also silent when focusing and do not promote AF noise recording audio when the mic is near the lens. For straight photography you can use any EF/EF-S lens you choose.  One thing to know is STM lenses typically focus slower when shooting photographs compared to compared to lenses using USM focusing.
