Shooting Precautions The EF24-105mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM utilizes a stepping motor that drives the focus lens. The motor also controls the focus lens during zooming. 1. When the camera is OFF The motor does not operate while the camera is OFF or when the camera is OFF due to the use of the auto power off function. Therefore, users must be aware of the following points. ●● Manual focus adjustments are not possible. ●● During zooming, delayed focus will occur. 2.
3. During initial reset When the camera is ON or when the camera is turned ON by pressing the shutter button halfway down when the camera is OFF due to the use of the auto power off function*1, the lens performs an initial reset of the focus lens.*2 ●● Although the image in the viewfinder will appear out of focus during the initial reset, this does not mean that the lens has malfunctioned.

2. Zooming 1. M ounting and Detaching the Lens See your camera’s instructions for details on mounting and detaching the lens. Y P O To zoom, turn the lens’ zoom ring. ●● 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.
3. Setting the Focus Mode 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. 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) ●● Quickly rotating the focusing ring may result in delayed focus. ●● Manual focus adjustments are not possible when the camera is OFF.
4. Fixing the Zoom Ring The zoom ring can be fixed to keep the lens at the shortest point. This function is convenient for carrying a camera on a strap because it prevents the lens from extending. 1 Y P O Rotate the zoom ring to the widest position (24 mm). C 2 Slide the zoom ring lock lever in the direction indicated by the arrow. ●● To release the zoom ring, slide the zoom ring lock lever in the direction opposite to the arrow. The zoom ring can only be locked at maximum wide angle.
5. Hood (sold separately) The EW-83M hood cuts out unwanted light and protects the front of the lens from rain, snow, and dust.
