MACRO PHOTO LENS MP-E 65mm f/2.
Thank you for purchasing a Canon product. Canon Macro Photo Lens MP-E 65mm f/2.8 15× is a high-magnification macro lens that can magnify the subject anywhere from 1× to 5×. It is dedicated to Canon EOS cameras. C Features 1. The UD element, three-group floating system, and other features result in excellent delineation at all focusing distances from lifesize to 5× magnification. 2. The lens can attain a magnification of up to 5×. 3. A Canon macro flash makes it easy to take close-up flash pictures.
a Safety Precautions a Safety Precautions • 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. • 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. Handling Cautions C This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens 2. Focusing See your camera’s instructions for details on mounting and detaching the lens. To focus, turn the focusing ring on the MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5× lens (AF is not possible). You can focus in two ways, either by setting the magnification first or by framing the subject first. Since macro shots have a very shallow depth of field, focus carefully to obtain proper sharpness.
Focusing • Setting the Magnification First Y P O Set the magnification. Focus the subject roughly. Focus the subject finely. Turn the focusing ring to the desired magnification marked on the lens barrel. While looking through viewfinder, move the camera forward or back to find the proper focus. Turn the focusing ring for fine focusing of the subject. • Framing the Subject First C While looking through the viewfinder to frame and focus, turn the focusing ring.
Focusing • With the lens attached to the camera, the infocus indicator in the viewfinder will not display properly. When focusing, do not rely on the infocus indicator. • With high-magnification macro shots, the working distance (distance between the front of the lens and the subject) becomes very short. Be careful not to bump into the subject. [mm] Magnification and Working Distance 100 90 80 70 Y P O 60 • To prevent camera shake, use a tripod and the Remote Switch (sold separately).
3. Setting the Exposure Magnification and Effective f-number Setting the Exposure The aperture displayed by the camera assumes that the focus is set to infinity. The actual aperture (effective f-number) becomes darker (effective f-number increases) at closer focusing distances (magnification increases). This does not cause exposure problems for normal picturetaking. However, for closeup photography, you cannot ignore the change in the effective fnumber.

4. Using the Tripod Mount Adjusting the Revolving Mount You can loosen the orientation lock-knob on the tripod mount to allow it to rotate as needed to fit a particular camera model for switching between vertical and horizontal positions. Detaching First remove the lens from the camera and then remove the tripod mount from the lens as shown below. To attach the tripod mount, reverse the procedure. Loosen the orientation locking knob.
5. Filters Using the Tripod Mount (Sold Separately) You can attach filters to the filter mounting thread on the front of the lens. • Filters and the macro flash cannot be used on this lens at the same time. • If you need a polarizing filter, use the Canon Circular Polarizing Filter (58mm). • When switching to vertical shooting, rotate the camera so that the grip is at the top. Rotating the camera in the opposite direction will have the grip bump into the tripod mount.
6. Macro Flash (Sold Separately) The Canon Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX or the Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX enable fully automatic macro flash photography from life-size to 5X magnification in E-TTL autoflash mode. Flash Range with Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX and MP-E 65mm Lens 16 Aperture 11 C 8 5.6 Y P O 4 Compared to normal picture-taking, the proper exposure for macro photography largely depends on the subject. It is difficult to obtain the proper exposure the first time.
