EF-M28mm f/3.
Thank you for purchasing a Canon product. The Canon EF-M28mm f/3.5 MACRO IS STM is a macro lens for use on Canon EOS M Series cameras. It is equipped with an Image Stabilizer capable of shooting portraits, scenery and other normal shots, as well as close-up (macro) shots with a magnification ratio of 1.2x. ●● “IS” stands for Image Stabilizer. ●● “STM” stands for stepping motor. Camera Firmware ●● When using this lens, please check the Canon website for the latest camera firmware.
Safety Precautions Precautions to ensure that the camera is used safely. Read these precautions thoroughly. Make sure all details are observed in order to prevent risks and injury to the user and other people. Warning Details pertaining to risks that may result in death or serious injury. ●● Do not look at the sun or a bright light source through the lens. Doing so could result in vision loss or blindness.
General Precautions Handling Precautions ●● If the lens is taken from a cold environment into a warm one, condensation may develop on the lens surface and internal parts. To prevent condensation in this case, first put the lens into an airtight plastic bag before taking it from a cold to warm environment. Then take out the lens after it has warmed gradually. Do the same when taking the lens from a warm environment into a cold one.

1 Mounting and Detaching the Lens See your camera’s instructions for details on mounting and detaching the lens. ●● 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. ●● If the contacts get soiled or have fingerprints on them, clean them with a soft cloth.
2 Shooting Preparations and Retracting Lens Set the mode selection ring to the normal mode or the super macro mode when taking photographs. Normal Mode The normal mode enables infinite distance photography through to close-up (macro) photography. To prepare for this, press the lock release switch in the ▲ direction with the lens retracted, rotate the mode selection ring and align the normal mode index with the mode selection index.
Shooting Preparations and Retracting Lens The lens can be retracted. To retract the lens, press the lock release switch in the ▲ direction, rotate the mode selection ring and align the retraction location index with the mode selection index. ●● It is only possible to start shooting videos or shoot still photographs if the mode selection ring is set at the normal mode or super macro mode.
Shooting Preparations and Retracting Lens ●● The magnification ratio represents the ratio between the actual size of the subject and the size of the image. ●● The distance range represents the distance between the mark (image mark) on the camera and the subject. ●● The minimum distance range from the front of the lens to the subject (working distance) is 1.8cm in the normal mode and 1.3cm in the super macro mode.
4 Image Stabilizer This lens is equipped with an Image Stabilizer. This function corrects camera shake, allowing users to capture sharp images. Also, the Image Stabilizer automatically provides optimal image stabilization depending on shooting conditions (such as shooting still subjects and following shots). Please set the Image Stabilizer ON or OFF using the camera settings. See your camera’s instructions for details.
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 Image Stabilizer to OFF when you are taking pictures using the Bulb setting (long exposures). If the Image Stabilizer is set to ON, the image stabilizer function may introduce errors.
5 Taking Hand-held Close-ups (Macro) Hold the camera firmly Hold the camera firmly as shown in the illustration on the right when taking hand-held close-ups (macro), and take the shots carefully to minimize camera shake and prevent focus blurring. Taking Photographs with the Servo AF It is recommended that the camera is set at Servo AF when taking close-up (macro) shots. See the camera’s instruction manual for further details.
6 Exposure When Taking Close-up (Macro) Shots 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. Magnification and Effective f-number The aperture displayed by the camera assumes that the focus is set to infinity.
Exposure When Taking Close-up (Macro) Shots When you use a handheld exposure meter to set the exposure, you must take into account the exposure factor shown in the following table. Normal Mode Magnification Focusing Distance (cm/ft.) Effective f/No. Exposure Factor (stops)* Super Macro Mode 0.5 12.4/ 0.41 3.9 0.7 10.9/ 0.36 4.0 1.0 9.7/ 0.32 4.1 1.2 +1/3 +1/3 +1/3 – 0 +1/2 +1/2 – – – Magnification Focusing Distance (cm/ft.) Effective f/No. Exposure Factor (stops)* 0.5 – 0.7 11.0/ 0.36 5.
7 Macro Lites ●● The Macro Lites can only be illuminated when the power to the camera is switched on. ●● Remove the hood when using the Macro Lites. The use of a single Macro Lite will add shadow to the subject and add a sense of three-dimensionality to photographs. Macro Lite A Macro Lite B The Macro Lites on the front of the lens shine light on the subject during close-up (macro) photography to facilitate shooting.
Macro Lites ■ Macro Lites A and B Illuminated Independently ●● Hold down the Macro Lite ON button with the light switch off to illuminate one of the lights. ●● Briefly pressing the Macro Lite ON button when one light is illuminated will alternate the ON status to the other light. ■ Both Macro Lites Illuminated Briefly pressing the Macro Lite ON button will alternate between ON and OFF for both lights, and between Bright and Dim.
Macro Lites ●● The Macro Lites cast shadows from the camera and lens onto the subject during close-up (macro) photography to facilitate shooting and improve the end result. They are not designed to shine sufficient light on subjects when shooting in dark locations. ●● The Macro Lites are extinguished when the camera’s power-saving function (Auto Power Off) turns off the power.
9 Filters (sold separately) Hood You can attach filters (which are 43 mm in diameter) to the filter mounting thread on the front of the hood. 1. Attach the hood. 2. Attach the filter to the front of the hood. ●● Filters cannot be used unless the hood is attached. ●● Only one filter may be attached.
