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.

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. Control Ring The control ring can be assigned the functions that are commonly used with cameras, such as shutter speed and aperture settings. Control ring The click action of the control ring allows you to have a sense of how much it is being turned. Please refer to the camera's instructions for details on how to use the control ring. zzThere are cases in which the sound of control ring operations may be recorded when shooting movies.
4. 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 a 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.
5. 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.
6. 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.
7. Hood (Sold separately) 8. Filters (Sold separately) The custom lens hood cuts out unwanted light and protects the front of the lens from rain, snow, and dust. You can attach filters to the filter mounting thread on the front end of the lens or on the front end of the hood. zzOnly one filter may be attached. zzIf you need a polarizing filter, use the Canon Circular Polarizing Filter PL-C B. zzTurn OFF the power of the camera before attaching or detaching a filter.
