Instruction

a Safety Precautions

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the

limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC

Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference in a residential installation. This

equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in

a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of

the following measures:

a Safety Precautions

1. Do not look at the sun or a bright light source

through the lens or camera. Doing so could result in

loss of vision. Looking at the sun directly through the

lens is especially hazardous.

2. Whether it is attached to the camera or not, do

not leave the lens under the sun without the lens

cap attached. This is to prevent the lens from

concentrating the sun’s rays, which could cause a fire.

a Handling Cautions

If the lens is taken from a cold environment into a warm

one, condensation may develop on the lens surface and

internal parts. To prevent condensation in this case, first

put the lens into an airtight plastic bag before taking it from

a cold to warm environment. Then take out the lens after it

has warmed gradually. Do the same when taking the lens

from a warm environment into a cold one.

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for

help.

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio

noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the

interference-causing equipment standard entitled “Digital

Apparatus”, ICES-003 of the Industry Canada.

his device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is

subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not

cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any

interference received, including interference that may cause

undesired operation.

N118

Do not make any changes or modifications to the equipment

unless otherwise specified in the instructions. If such changes or

modifications should be made, you could be required to stop

operation of the equipment.

The lens mount has a rubber ring for enhanced

water- and dust-resistance. The rubber ring may

cause slight abrasions around the camera's lens

mount, but this will not cause any problems. If the

rubber ring becomes worn, it is replaceable by a

Canon Service Center at cost.

1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens

See your camera’s instructions for details on

mounting and detaching the lens.

2. Close-up Photography (Macro Photography)

¡After detaching the lens, place the lens with the

rear end up to prevent the lens surface and

electrical contacts from getting scratched.

¡If the contacts get soiled, scratched, or have

fingerprints on them, corrosion or faulty

connections can result. The camera and lens

may not operate properly.

¡If the contacts get soiled or have fingerprints on

them, clean them with a soft cloth.

¡If you remove the lens, cover it with the dust

cap. To attach it properly, align the lens mount

The lens can focus as close as 0.45 m/1.5 ft for

close-ups (macro photography).

To focus at 0.45 m/1.5 ft, set the lens focus mode

switch to MF. Look through the viewfinder and

move your body forward or back to focus. Take the

shot when the subject is in focus.

3. Setting the Focus Mode

4. Zooming

To shoot in autofocus mode, set the focus mode

switch to AF.

To use only manual focusing, set the focus mode

switch to MF, and focus by turning the focusing

ring. The focusing ring always works, regardless

of the focus mode.

To zoom, turn the lens’ zoom ring.

Be sure to finish zooming before focusing.

Changing the zoom ring after focusing can affect

the focus.

After autofocusing in ONE SHOT AF mode, focus

manually by pressing the shutter button halfway

and turning the focusing ring. (Full-time manual

focus)

effective for hand-held shots in

the following conditions.

¡Dimly lit scenes, such as at

dusk or indoors

Locations such as art galleries

errors.

¡The Image Stabilizer might not be fully

effective in the following cases:

• You move the camera for a panned shot.

• You shoot while riding on a bumpy road.

¡Compared to using a normal non-IS lens,

fewer shots can be taken when you use

an Image Stabilizer lens because more

power is consumed.

¡The image stabilizer operates for about

two seconds even when your finger is off

the shutter button. Do not remove the lens

while the stabilizer is in operation. This will

cause a malfunction.

¡When you use a tripod, the Image

Stabilizer should be turned off to save

battery power.

¡The stabilizer is equally effective for hand-

held photography and photography with a

monopod.

¡The image stabilizer function also

operates when the lens is used with an

Extension Tube EF12 ll or EF25 ll.

¡If you set the camera’s Custom Function

to change the assigned button to operate

the AF, the Image Stabilizer will operate

when you press the newly assigned AF

button.

6. Infinity Distance Mark

7. Infrared Index

To compensate for shifting of the infinity focus

point that results from changes in temperature.

The infinity position at normal temperature is the

point at which the vertical line of the L mark is

aligned with the distance indicator on the

distance scale.

The infrared index corrects the focus setting

when using monochrome infrared film. Focus on

the subject manually, then adjust the distance

setting by moving the focusing ring to the

corresponding infrared index mark.

Some EOS cameras cannot use infrared film. See

the instructions for your EOS camera.

For accurate manual focusing on subjects at

infinity distance, look through the viewfinder while

rotating the focusing ring.

¡The infrared index position is based on a

wavelength of 800 nm.

¡Be sure to observe the manufacturer’s

instructions when using infrared film.

¡Use a red filter also when you take the picture.

ENG-8

8. Hood

The EW-83H hood can keep unwanted light out of the lens, and also protects the lens from rain,

snow, and dust.

To attach the hood, align the hood’s attachment position mark with the red dot on the front of the

lens, then turn the hood clockwise until the lens’s red dot is aligned with the hood’s stop position

mark.

The hood can be reverse-mounted on the lens for storage.

¡Part of the picture may be blocked if the hood is not attached properly.

¡When attaching or detaching the hood, grasp the base of the hood to turn it. To prevent deformation, do not

grasp the rim of the hood to turn it.

9. Filters (Sold separately)

10. Gelatin Filter Holder (Sold separately)

You can attach filters to the filter mounting

thread on the front of the lens.
