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 a cost.
2. Setting the Focus Mode To shoot in autofocus (AF) mode, set the focus mode switch to AF. To use only manual focusing (MF), set the focus mode switch to MF, and focus by turning the focusing ring. The focusing ring always works, regardless of the focus mode. When AF operation is set to [ONE SHOT], manual focus is possible after autofocusing has been completed by continuing to press the shutter button halfway (Full-time manual focus). 3.
4. Zooming To zoom, turn the lens’ zoom ring. Be sure to finish zooming before focusing. Zooming after focusing can affect the focus.
5. Infinity Compensation Mark 6. Infrared Index Infinity compensation mark Distance scale Distance index 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.
7. Image Stabilizer You can use the image stabilizer in AF or MF mode. 1 Set the STABILIZER switch to ON. ●● If you are not going to use the image stabilizer function, set the switch to OFF. 2 Select the stabilizer mode. ●● MODE 1: Corrects vibrations in all directions. It is effective mainly 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.
8. 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 ●●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. OFF ●●When panning subjects in motion.
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 you are taking pictures using the Bulb setting (long exposures). If the STABILIZER switch is set to ON, the Image Stabilizer may introduce errors. ●● 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.
