Instruction

a Safety Precautions

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the

limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC

Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection

against harmful interference in a residential installation. This

equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio

communications.

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur in

a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful

interference to radio or television reception, which can be

determined by turning the equipment off and on, the user is

encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or more of

the following measures:

a Safety Precautions

1. 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.

2. 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.

a 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.

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for

help.

This digital apparatus does not exceed the Class B limits for radio

noise emissions from digital apparatus as set out in the

interference-causing equipment standard entitled “Digital

Apparatus”, ICES-003 of the Industry Canada.

his 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

undesired operation.

N118

Do not make any changes or modifications to the equipment

unless otherwise specified in the instructions. If such changes or

modifications should be made, you could be required to stop

1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens

2. Setting the Focus Mode

See your camera’s instructions for details on

mounting and detaching the lens.

To shoot in autofocus mode, set the focus mode

switch to AF.

To use only manual focusing, set the focus mode

switch to MF, and focus by turning the focusing

ring.

¡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.

¡Unless the focus mode switch is set to MF, you

cannot focus manually.

¡Do not touch the focusing ring or rotating parts

of the lens while autofocus is in action.

¡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.

ENG-4

3. Hood (Sold separately)

4. Zooming

The ET-65B hood reduces annoying flare and

also protects the front of the lens from rain,

snow, dust, etc.

To attach the hood, connect the hood’s tabs to

the hood attachment tabs on the front end of the

lens, then turn the hood clockwise to secure it.

The hood can be reverse-mounted on the lens

for storage.

To zoom, turn the lens’ zoom ring.

Be sure to finish zooming before focusing.

Changing the zoom ring after focusing can affect

the focus.

¡The front end of the lens rotates, so hold it when

attaching the hood.

¡Part of the picture may be blocked if the hood is

not attached properly.

¡When attaching or detaching the hood, grasp

the base of the hood to turn it. To prevent

deformation, do not grasp the rim of the hood to

turn it.

ENG-5

5. Fixing the Zoom Ring

The zoom ring can be fixed at the widest position. This function is convenient for carrying a camera

on a strap because it prevents the lens from extending.

● MODE 1

● MODE 2

¡Dimly lit scenes, such as at dusk or indoors

¡Locations such as art galleries or theater

stages where flash photography is forbidden

¡Situations in which your footing is uncertain

¡If you are taking continuous shots of a moving

subject

¡If you are tracking an erratically moving

subject

* MODE 1 should be used in all other situations.

Tips on Using the Image Stabilizer

¡With the EOS-1V/HS, 3, 30/33/Elan7/7E,

30V/33V/Elan7N/7NE, Elan ll/Elan ll

E/50/50 E, 300/Rebel2000, IX, and D30,

the Image Stabilizer will not work during

self-timer operation.

¡The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate

for a blurred shot caused by a subject that

moved.

¡Set the STABILIZER switch to

when

you are taking pictures using the Bulb

setting (long exposures). If the

STABILIZER switch is set to

image stabilizer function may introduce

errors.

¡The Image Stabilizer might not be fully

effective in the following cases:

• You move the camera for a panned shot.

• You shoot while riding on a bumpy road.

¡Compared to using a normal non-IS lens,

fewer shots can be taken when you use

an Image Stabilizer lens because more

power is consumed.

¡The image stabilizer operates for about

two seconds even when your finger is off

the shutter button. Do not remove the lens

while the stabilizer is in operation. This

will cause a malfunction.

, the

¡When you use a tripod, the Image

Stabilizer should be turned off to save

battery power.

¡The stabilizer is equally effective for hand-

held photography and photography with a

monopod.

¡The image stabilizer function also

operates when the lens is used with an

Extension Tube EF12 ll or EF25 ll.

¡If you set the camera’s Custom Function

to change the assigned button to operate

the AF, the Image Stabilizer will operate

when you press the newly assigned AF

button.
