aSafety 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.

•Whether it is attached to the camera or not, do

not leave the lens under the sun without the

lens cap attached. This is to prevent the lens from

concentrating the sun’s rays, which could cause a

fire.

Handling Cautions

•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.

•Do not leave the lens in excessive heat such as in

a car in direct sunlight. High temperatures can

cause the lens to malfunction.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is

subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may not

cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept any

interference received, including interference that may cause

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

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.

¡If the contacts get soiled or have fingerprints on

them, clean them with a soft cloth.

¡If you remove the lens, cover it with the dust

cap. To attach it properly, align the lens mount

index and the

index of the dust cap as shown

in the diagram, and turn clockwise. To remove it,

reverse the order.

Mounting and Detaching the Lens

Setting the Focus Mode

After autofocusing in ONE SHOT AF mode, focus

manually by pressing the shutter button halfway

and turning the focusing ring. (Full-time manual

focus)

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.

Infinity Compensation Mark

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.

For accurate manual focusing on subjects at

infinity distance, look through the viewfinder while

rotating the focusing ring.

Infinity compensation mark

Distance index

Switching the Focusing Distance Range

You can choose the focusing distance range with

a switch. By setting a suitable focusing distance

range, actual autofocusing time can be shorter.

¡EF135mm f/2L USM :

q0.9 m / 3.0 ft. – ∞w1.6 m / 5.2 ft. – ∞

¡EF200mm f/2.8L II USM :

q1.5 m / 4.9 ft. – ∞w3.5 m / 11.5 ft. – ∞

¡EF300mm f/4L USM :

q2.5 m / 8.2 ft. – ∞w6 m / 19.7 ft. – ∞

¡EF400mm f/5.6L USM :

q3.5 m / 11.5 ft. – ∞w8.5 m / 27.9 ft. – ∞

If you autofocus outside the set focusing distance

range, the lens may stop focusing at the start of

the focusing range; however, this is not a

malfunction. Press the shutter release button

halfway again.

6. Depth-of-Field Scale

The depth of field is the distance in front of and

behind the plane of focus on the subject that

appears sharp. The depth of field is indicated by

the area between the depth-of-field scale lines

below the distance scale.

The number on the scale is the F value.

The depth-of-field scale is an approximate

indicator.

The infrared index corrects the focus setting

when using monochrome infrared film. Focus on

the subject manually, then adjust the distance

setting by moving the focusing ring to the

corresponding infrared index mark.

5. Infrared Index

(EF200mm f/2.8L II USM • EF300mm f/4L

USM • EF400mm f/5.6L USM)

Some EOS cameras cannot use infrared film. See

the instructions for your EOS camera.

¡The infrared index position is based on a

wavelength of 800 nm.

¡Be sure to observe the manufacturer’s

instructions when using infrared film.

¡Use a red filter also when you take the picture.
