EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.
Thank you for purchasing a Canon product. Equipped with an Image Stabilizer, the Canon EF100-400mm f/4.5-5.6L IS II USM is a highperformance telephoto zoom lens, for use with EOS cameras. ●● “IS” stands for Image Stabilizer. ●● “USM” stands for Ultrasonic Motor. Features Y P O 1. Equipped with an Image Stabilizer that provides an image stabilization effect equivalent to a shutter speed 4 stops* faster (when the focal length is set to 400 mm and when used with the EOS-1D X).
Safety Precautions Safety Precautions Handling Cautions ●● 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.
Safety Precautions This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules.

1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens See your camera’s instructions for details on mounting and detaching the lens. ●● 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.
2. Setting the Focus Mode To shoot in autofocus (AF) mode, set the focus mode switch to AF. To shoot in manual focus (MF) mode, set the focus mode switch to MF, and focus by turning the focusing ring. The focusing ring always works, regardless of the focus mode. C After autofocusing in ONE SHOT AF mode, focus manually by pressing the shutter button halfway and turning the focusing ring. (Full-time manual focus) 3.
4. Zooming and Adjusting Zooming Resistance Zoom touch adjustment ring To zoom, rotate the zoom ring. ●● Be sure to finish zooming before focusing. 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. ●● 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. ●● 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.
6. Tips on Using the Image Stabilizer The image stabilizer for this lens is effective for hand-held shots in the following conditions. l MODE 1 ON l MODE 2 C 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. Y P O ON 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 function may introduce errors. ●● The Image Stabilizer might not be fully effective in the following cases: • You shoot from a violently moving vehicle.
8. Infrared Index 7. I nfinity Compensation Mark Infinity compensation mark Distance index C 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 corrects the focus setting when using monochrome infrared film. Focus on the subject manually, then adjust the distance setting by moving the focusing ring to the corresponding infrared index mark.
9. Hood The ET-83D hood cuts out unwanted light and protects the front of the lens from rain, snow, and dust. C ● Attaching To attach the hood, align the hood’s attachment position mark with the red dot on the front of the lens, then turn the hood as shown by the arrow until the lens’ red dot is aligned with the hood’s stop position mark.
Hood ● Circular Polarizing Filter Adjustment Window The hood features a circular polarizing filter adjustment window which, when opened, allows the user to adjust the circular polarizing filter* while the hood is attached to the lens. * Please attach the circular polarizing filter to the filter mounting thread on the front of the lens when the hood is detached.
10. Using the Tripod Mount Attaching the Tripod Mount A tripod or monopod attaches to the tripod mount on the lens. Place the tripod mount against the tripod mount attachment foot as shown and rotate the tripod mount ring in the direction indicated by arrow 2 until it stops moving. Once the tripod mount ring stops moving, please attempt to firmly tighten it again.
Using 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. ●● When attaching the tripod mount, firmly tighten the tripod mount ring so that the tripod mount is mounted securely to the lens.
11. Extenders (Sold Separately) Lens specifications when using extender EF1.4x II/III or EF2x II/III are as follows.
