EF100mm f/2.
Thank you for purchasing a Canon product. The Canon EF100mm f/2.8L MACRO IS USM lens is a macro lens dedicated to Canon EOS cameras. It is equipped with an Image Stabilizer and can shoot close-ups up to 1:1 as well as normal shots. • "IS" stands for Image Stabilizer. • "USM" stands for Ultrasonic Motor. Features C 4. Ultrasonic motor (USM) for quick and quiet autofocusing. 5. Manual focusing is available after the subject comes into focus in autofocus mode (ONE SHOT AF). 6.
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 See your camera’s instructions for details on mounting and detaching the lens. The lens mount has a rubber ring for enhanced water- and dust-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 cost.
2. Setting the Focus Mode 3. Switching the Focusing Distance Range Y P O 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. C You can switch the focusing distance range to one of three settings: FULL (0.3 m/1.0 ft. to infinity), 0.3 m/1.0 ft. to 0.5 m/1.6 ft., or 0.5 m/1.6 ft. to infinity.
4. Infinity Compensation Mark Infinity compensation mark Distance index Y P O To compensate for shifting of the infinity focus point that results from changes in temperature. The infinity position at normal temperature is the point at which the vertical line of the L mark is aligned with the distance indicator on the distance scale. C For accurate manual focusing of subjects at infinity, look through the viewfinder or look at the magnified image* on the LCD screen while rotating the focusing ring.
5. Hood The ET-73 hood can keep unwanted light out of the lens, and also protects the lens from rain, snow, and dust. Y P O 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. The hood can be reverse-mounted on the lens for storage. C • Part of the picture may be blocked if the hood is not attached properly.
6. Picture Taking Normal Photography Since macro shots have a very shallow depth of field, focus carefully to obtain proper sharpness. The lens can be used as a medium-telephoto lens for normal photography such as portraits. Closeup Photography Close-up photos up to 1x (life-size) magnification are possible. The minimum focusing distance of 30 cm is the distance from the subject to the focal plane. The working distance from the front of the lens to the subject is about 14 cm.
7. About Exposure Setting the Exposure When taking photographs using TTL metering, no exposure compensation is necessary to meter the light coming through the lens. With TTL metering, AE (autoexposure) is possible at all focusing distances. Just set the desired picture-taking mode, then check the shutter speed and aperture before taking the picture.
8. Image Stabilizer You can use the image stabilizer in AF or MF mode. This function provides optimal image stabilization depending on shooting conditions (such as shooting still subjects and following shots). the STABILIZER 1 Set switch to . • If you are not going to use the image stabilizer function, set the switch to . C Y P O you press the 2 When shutter button halfway, the Image Stabilizer will start operating.
Image Stabilizer • The shorter the subject distance from the camera, the lesser the Image Stabilizer effect will be. • The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a blurred shot caused by a subject that moved. • Set the STABILIZER switch to when you are taking pictures using the Bulb setting (long exposures). If the STABILIZER switch is set to , the image stabilizer function may introduce errors.
9.Taking Hand-held Close-ups Close-up shots are more prone to be affected by camera shake than with normal shooting. The Image Stabilizer's corrective effect is therefore less during close-ups than during normal shooting even with the same degree of camera shake. The depth of field also becomes very shallow with close-ups, and moving forward or back even slightly will throw off the focus.
10. Using the Tripod Mount (Sold separately) Adjusting the Revolving Mount This lens can be used with the D (B) tripod mount ring, sold separately. 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 Use the following procedures to remove and attach the tripod mount.
11. Filters 12. Extension Tubes (Sold Separately) (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 PL-C B (67mm). • To adjust the polarizing filter, first remove the lens hood. You can attach Extension Tube EF12 II or EF25 II for magnified shots. The shooting distance and magnification are shown below.
13. Macro Flash (Sold Separately) The Canon Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX or the Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX enables fully automatic macro flash photography up to 1x magnification in E-TTL autoflash mode. Install the Macro Lite Adapter 67 (sold separately) on the filter mounting thread on the front of the lens for macro flash photography. C Y P O • For information on operating the Canon Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX or the Macro Twin Lite MT24EX, refer to the individual instruction booklets.
