Safety Precautions  
OO 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.  
OO 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 espechazardous.  
OO Do not point lens or camera at the sun or  
photogh itis is because the lens concentrates  
te sun’s rn when the sun is outside the image  
r when sting with backlight, which could cause  
tion or fir
r it is attad to the camera or not, do not  
the lens under the sun without the lens cap  
ached. This is to prevent the lens from concentrating  
tsun’s rays, which could cause a fire.  
OO Do not leave the lens in excessive heat such as in a car  
in direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause the  
lens to malfunction.  
OO Wthe lens is mounted on a camera, be sure to also  
hold the camera by the lens, including when mounting  
on a tripod. Only holding by the camera could result in  
scratches on the camera body or the lens itself. The lens  
may also detach from its mount and fall, causing injury.  
OO Do not use a strap attached to the camera. The mount  
may break, resulting in the lens falling off and causing  
injury or in scratches on the camera. Be sure to use the  
camera with a dedicated strap attached correctly to the  
strap mount on the lens.

blurred shot caused by a subject that moved.  
OO Set the STABILIZER switch to OFF when you  
are taking pictures using the Bulb setting (long  
exposures). If the STABILIZER switch is set to ON,  
the image stabilizer function may introduce errors.  
OO The Image Stabilizer might not be fully effective in  
the following cases:  
You shoot from a violently moving vehicle.  
You move the camera dramatically for a panning  
shot in Mode 1.

depending on the shooting environment.  
OO The Image Stabilizer also operates when the lens is  
used with extension tube EF12 II or EF25 II or the  
extender EF1.4× III or EF2× III.  
OO Depending on the camera there may be image  
shake, such as after releasing the shutter. However,  
this does not affect shooting.  
OO 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.
