1. Attaching and Detaching the Lens Lens mount index Lens release button Dust cap Attaching the Lens Align the lens mount indexes of the lens and camera, and turn the lens clockwise until you hear a click. Detaching the Lens Turn the lens counterclockwise while pressing the camera’s lens release button. Detach the lens once it has stopped turning. zzSet the camera’s power switch to OFF when attaching or detaching the lens. zzAttach the lens cap before detaching the lens from the camera.
2. Setting the Focus Mode Focus mode switch Focusing ring 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. zzQuickly turning the focusing ring may result in delayed focus. zzDue to the structural characteristics, the focus lens driving speed may vary according to the variation in the air temperature and posture.
3. Setting the Focusing Distance Range 4. Control Ring The control ring can be assigned the functions that are commonly used with cameras, such as shutter speed and aperture settings. Focusing distance range selector switch You can set the focusing distance range with a switch. Setting the focusing distance prevents the lens from focusing on unintentional subjects at different distances. Focusing distance range 1. FULL (0.35 m/1.14 ft. - ∞) 2. 0.5 m/1.64 ft. - ∞ 3. 0.35 m - 0.5 m/1.14 ft. - 1.64 ft.
5. Image Stabilizer This function provides image stabilization appropriate for shooting conditions (such as shooting still subjects, panning shots, and closeup (macro) shooting). Set the image stabilizer switch to ON when you want to use the Image Stabilizer. zz Set the image stabilizer switch to OFF when you are not going to use the Image Stabilizer. zzThe shorter the focusing distance is, the less the image stabilizer effect.
Image Stabilizer The Image Stabilizer for this lens is suited to hand-held shots in the following conditions. zz In semi-darkened areas such as indoors or outdoors at night. zz In locations where the flash cannot be used, such as art museums and theater stages. zz In situations where your footing is uncertain. zz In situations where fast shutter speed settings cannot be used. zz Panning shots of vehicles, trains, etc.
6. Hand-held Close-up (Macro) Shooting This lens allows users to focus from infinity to a magnification of 0.5x for close-up (macro) shooting. Hold the camera steadily Hold the camera steadily as shown in the illustration on the right when taking hand-held close-ups (macro), and shoot carefully to minimize camera shake and prevent focus blurring. Taking photographs using servo AF It is recommended that the camera AF operation is set to [Servo AF] when taking close-up (macro) shots.
7. Exposure When Taking Close-up (Macro) Shots Setting the Exposure When taking photographs using TTL metering, no exposure compensation is necessary because the light coming through the lens is measured. With TTL metering, photographing with AE (auto exposure) is possible at all focusing distances. Just select the desired picture-taking mode, then check the shutter speed and aperture before taking a picture.
8. Hood (Sold separately) The custom lens hood cuts out unwanted light and protects the front of the lens from rain, snow, and dust. Attachment position mark Red dot Button Red dot Attachment position mark Attaching the Hood Red dot Stop position mark Align the red attachment position mark on the hood with the red dot on the front of the lens, and then turn the hood in the direction of the arrow until you hear a click.
9. Filters (Sold separately) You can attach filters to the filter mounting thread on the front of the lens. zzOnly one filter may be attached. zzIf you need a polarizing filter, use the Canon Circular Polarizing Filter PL-C B. zzDetach the hood when adjusting the polarizing filter. zzTurn OFF the power of the camera before attaching or detaching a filter.
