Handling Cautions  
Safety Precautions  
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.  
Do not leave the lens in excessive heat such as in a  
car in direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause  
the lens to malfunction.  
When the lens is mounted on a camera, it is  
recommended that you also hold the camera by the  
lens, including when mounting it on a tripod.  
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.  
Do not point the lens or camera at the sun or  
photograph it. This is because the lens concentrates  
the sun’s rays even when the sun is outside the image  
area or when shooting with backlight, which could  
cause malfunction or fire.  
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.

1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens  
See your camera’s instructions for details on  
mounting and detaching the lens.  
The lens mount has a rubber ring for enhanced  
dust- and water-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.  
After detaching the lens, place the lens with  
the rear end up to prevent the lens surface and  
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  
index and the index of the dust cap as shown  
in the diagram, and turn clockwise. To remove it,  
reverse the order.

an be adjusted as desired. Turn the adjustment  
ring towards the word SMOOTH to reduce the  
zooming touch, or towards TIGHT to increase it.  
Zooming after focusing can affect the focus.  
Especially for shooting distances shorter than 3  
m / 9.8 ft., zooming to another focal length will  
greatly change the focus.  
To prevent unintended zooming when not  
shooting, we recommend turning the adjustment  
ring towards the word TIGHT until it stops.

5. Image Stabilizer  
You can use the image stabilizer in AF or MF mode.  
Set the STABILIZER switch  
to ON.  
Select the stabilizr mode.  
First press the shutter  
button down halfway, then  
press down all the way to  
take the picture.  
MODE 1: rres vibrations in  
all directiois mainly effective  
for shooting still subjects.  
MODE 2: Corrects vertical  
camera shake during  
following shots in a horizontal  
direction, and corrects  
horizontal camera shake  
during following shots in a  
vertical direction.  
MODE 3: Corrects vibration  
only during exposure. During  
panning shots, corrects vibration  
during exposure only in one  
direction the same as MODE 2.  
If you are not going to use the  
image stabilizer function, set  
the switch to OFF.  
MODE 1, 2: Press the  
shutter button down halfway  
to stabilize the image in  
the viewfinder and enable  
stabilization.

6. Tips on Using the Image Stabilizer  
The image stabilizer for this lens is effective for hand-held shots in the following conditions.  
MODE 1  
MODE 2  
ON  
ON  
OFF  
OFF  
In semi-darkened areas such as indoors or  
outdoors at night.  
When panning subjects in motion.  
In locations where flash photography is  
prohibited, such as art museums and theater  
stages.  
In situations where your footing is uncertain.  
In situations where fast shutter settings  
cannot be used.  
MODE 3  
Since camera shake is stabilized only during  
exposure, following a subject is easier such  
as when shooting a fast and irregularly  
moving player during sports photography.

Tips on Using the Image Stabilizer  
Using a tripod also stabilizes the image.  
However, depending on the kind of tripod and  
shooting conditions, sometimes it may be better  
to turn off the Image Stabilizer function.  
The stabilizer is equally effective for hand-  
held photography and photography with a  
monopod. The Image Stabilizer effect may be  
reduced, however, depending on the shooting  
environment.  
The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a  
blurred shot caused by a subject that moved.  
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.  
The Image Stabilizer might not be fully effective  
in the following cases:  
Depending on the camera there may be image  
shake, such as after releasing the shutter.  
However, this does not affect shooting.  
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.  
You shoot from a violently moving vehicle.  
You move the camera dramatically for a  
panning shot in Mode 1.  
The Image Stabilizer consumes more power  
than normal shooting, resulting in fewer shts  
and a shorter movie shooting time.  
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.  
With the EOS-1V/HS, 3, ELAN 7E/ELAN  
7/30/33, ELAN 7NE/ELAN 7N/30V/33V, ELAN II/  
ELAN II E/50/50E, REBEL 2000/300, IX, IX Lite/  
IX7, and D30, the Image Stabilizer will not work  
during self-timer operation.

7. Infinity Compensation  
Mark  
8. Infrared Index  
Infinity compensation mark  
Distance index  
The infrared index corrects the focus setting  
when using monochrome infrared film. Focus on  
he subject manually, then adjust the distance  
etting by moving the focusing ring to the  
corresponding infrared index mark.  
To compensate for shifting of the infinity focus  
point that results from changes in temperature,  
there is a margin at the infinity () position.  
The infinity position at normal temperature is the  
point at which the vertical line of the distance  
scale L mark is aligned with the distance index.  
Some EOS cameras cannot use infrared film. See  
the instructions for your EOS camera.  
For accurate focusing in MF on subjects at infinity  
distance, look through the viewfinder or at the  
camera’s LCD display while rotating the focusing  
ring.  
The infrared index position is based on a  
wavelength of 800 nm.  
The compensation amount differs depending on  
the focal length. Use the indicated focal length  
as a guide when setting the compensation  
amount.  
Be sure to observe the manufacturer’s  
instructions when using infrared film.  
Use a red filter when you take the picture.

Using the Tripod Mount  
Adjusting the Tripod Mount  
An internal screw thread in the tripod mount  
attachment foot is exposed when the tripod  
mount is detached. Please do not attach a tripod  
or monopod to the lens using this internal screw  
thread. Doing so will damage the internal screw  
thread, making it impossible to attach the tripod  
mount to the lens.  
By loosening the orientation locking knob, you  
can rotate the camera to set the image for any  
vertical or horizontal position.  
When attaching the tripod mount, firmly tighten  
the tripod mount ring so that the tripod mount is  
mounted securely to the lens. The lens may fall  
from the tripod mount if the lock knob is not fully  
tightened.  
Not attaching the tripod mount securely may  
result in out of focus images even when usng a  
tripod or monopod during shooting.  
Please attach the tripod mount in the direction  
as shown in the illustration. It is not possible to  
attach the tripod mount while positioned in any  
other direction.  
The tripod mount ring will make a clicking sound  
while rotated which is normal.
