02-7521_ENG 10.2.13 9:35 AM Page 1 Thank you for purchasing a Canon product. The Canon EF100–400mm f/4.5–5.6L IS USM lens is a high-performance telephoto zoom lens for EOS cameras. ● “IS” stands for Image Stabilizer. ● “USM” stands for Ultrasonic Motor. Handling Cautions Y P O ● If the lens is taken from a cold environment into a warm one, condensation may develop on the lens surface and internal parts.
02-7521_ENG 12.7.11 10:24 AM Page 2 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. ● 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.

Y P O ● 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.

By setting the suitable focusing distance range, the actual autofocusing time will be shorter. C If you use AF from outside the specified focusing distance range, the lens may stop focusing when it reaches the limit of the range. This is not a malfunction.
02-7521_ENG 10.2.13 9:35 AM Page 6 4. Adjusting Zooming Resistance Move the zoom ring forward or backward to zoom. Y P O ● Be sure to finish zooming before focusing. Changing the zoom ring after focusing can affect the focus. ● To prevent unintended extension of the front of the lens, be careful not to set the zoom ring too loose. C You can adjust the zoom ring “touch” (resistance) as needed by holding the focusing ring in place and turning the zoom touch adjustment ring.

STABILIZER ON OFF STABILIZER MODE 1 2 STABILIZER Set the STABILIZER switch to ON. ● If you are not going to use the image stabilizer function, set the switch to OFF. Y P O Select the stabilizer mode. ● MODE 1: Corrects vibrations in all directions. It is mainly effective for shooting still subjects.
02-7521_ENG 10.2.13 9:35 AM Page 8 6. Tips on Using the Image Stabilizer The image stabilizer in this lens is effective for hand-held shots under the following conditions. ● MODE 1 ● MODE 2 ON OFF C Y P O ● In semi-darkened areas such as indoors or outdoors at night. ● 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.
02-7521_ENG 10.2.13 9:35 AM Page 9 Tips on Using the Image Stabilizer ● The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a blurred shot caused by a subject that moved. ● Set the STABILIZER switch to OFF when using the camera on a tripod. If the switch is set to ON, the Image Stabilizer may introduce errors. ● 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.

Filters (Sold Separately) You can attach filters to the filter mounting thread on the front of the lens. ● Use a polarizing Canon filter (77mm). ● To adjust the polarizing filter, first remove the lens hood. The ET-83C hood can keep unwanted light out of the lens, and also protects the lens from rain, snow, and dust. Fit the hood to the hood mount, then turn it in the direction of the arrow to attach it securely.
