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.
Contacts that are scratched, soiled, or have
ngerprints on them may result in faulty
connections or corrosion, which may lead to
malfunctions. If the contacts get soiled, clean
them with a soft cloth.
Attach the lens cap and dust cap when
disconnecting the lens. When attaching the
dust cap, align the lens mount index with the
index of the dust cap and rotate in a clockwise
direction as shown in the illustration. Follow the
reverse procedure to detach it.
The lens mount has a rubber ring for enhanced
dust- and water-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 a cost.
1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens
ENG-7
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.
When AF operation is set to [ONE SHOT], manual
focus is possible after autofocusing has been
completed by continuing to press the shutter button
halfway (Full-time manual focus).
2. Setting the Focus Mode 3. Switching the Focusing
Distance Range
You can set the focusing distance range with a
switch. By setting a suitable focusing distance
range, the actual autofocusing time will be
shorter.
Ranges
1. FULL (1 m/3.28 ft. - ∞)
2. 3 m/9.84 ft. - ∞
ENG-8
To zoom, turn the lens’ zoom ring.
Be sure to nish zooming before focusing. Zooming
after focusing can affect the focus.
4. Zooming
ENG-9
Distance index
Innity compensation mark
Distance scale
To compensate for shifting of the innity focus
point that results from changes in temperature,
there is a margin at the innity (∞) position.
The innity position at normal temperature is the
point at which the vertical line of the distance
scale L mark is aligned with the distance index.
For accurate manual focusing of subjects at innity,
look through the viewnder or look at the magnied
image* on the LCD screen while rotating the
focusing ring.
* For cameras with Live View shooting capability.
Infrared IndexDistance scale
The infrared index corrects the focus setting when
using monochrome infrared lm. Focus on the subject
manually, then adjust the distance scale indicated by
the distance index by moving the focusing ring to the
corresponding infrared index mark before shooting.
Some EOS cameras cannot use infrared lm. See
the instructions for your EOS camera.
The infrared index position is based on a
wavelength of 800 nm.
The compensation amount differs depending
on the focal length (large at the wide end, small
at the telephoto end). Use the 100 or 70 (mm)
infrared index position as a guide when setting
the compensation amount manually.
Be sure to observe the manufacturer’s
instructions when using infrared lm.
Use a red lter when you take the picture.
