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.

1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens 2. Setting the Focus Mode AF MF m 1.2 3m See your camera’s instructions for instructions on mounting and detaching the lens. Y P O • After detaching the lens, place the lens with the rear end up to prevent the lens surface and electrical 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.
4. Zooming m 1.2 3m 1.2m 3m 3. Switching the Focusing Distance Range Y P O You can set the focusing distance range to 1.2 m/3.9 ft. to infinity or 3 m/9.8 ft. to infinity. By setting the suitable focusing distance range, the actual autofocusing time can be shorter. C To zoom, turn the zoom ring. Be sure to finish zooming before focusing. Changing the zoom ring after focusing can affect the focus.
5. Infinity Compensation Mark 6. Infrared Index Infinity compensation mark 5 10 ft m 15 30 ft m 15 30 5 10 100 70 100 70 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.
7. Hood 8. Filters (Sold Separately) 1.2m 3m You can attach filters to the filter mounting thread on the front of the lens. • If you need a polarizing filter, use the Canon Circular Polarizing Filter (67mm). • To adjust the polarizing filter, first remove the lens hood.
