a Safety 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 in
a warm one, condensation may develop on the
lens surface and internal parts. To preven
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.
• 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 Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens
See your camera’s instructions for details on
mounting and detaching the lens.
The lens mount has a rubber ring for enhanced
water- and dust-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 cost.
• 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 ens
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
K
index of the dust cap as shown
in the diagram, and turn clockwise. To remove it,
reverse the order.

Normal Photography

Since macro shots have a very shallow depth of
field, focus carefully to obtain proper sharpness.
lens for normal photography such as portraits.
• The magnification refers to the ratio between the
subject’s size and the corresponding image size
on the focal plane. On the distance index, it is
indicated as 1:x.
• To check the depth of field, press the camera's
dpth-of-field preview button.
Closeup Photography
Close-up photos up to 1x (life-size) magnification
are possible. The minimum focusing distance of
30 cm is the distance from the subject to the
focal plane. The working distance from the front
of the lens to the subject is about 14 cm.
For normal close-up shooting, the higher the
magnification, the faster the shutter speed mu
be to prevent blur caused by camera shke.
Although it depends on the shooting conditions,
usually the shutter speed must be at least one or
two stops faster than normal.
For a shooting magnification of 0.5x, this lens
provides the effect of a shutter speed faster by
about three stops. For 1x, it will be about two
stops faster.*
* Depending on shooting conditions.

7. About Exposure
When you use a handheld exposure meter to set
the exposure, you must take into account the
exposure factor shown in the following table.
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 correct exposure for a close-up shot largely
depends on the subject. Therefore, try to bracket
the exposure for the same subject.
• Using aperture-priority AE (Av) or Manual (M)
picture-taking modes are recommended for
macro photography as it is easy to adjust depth
of field and exposure in these modes.
The aperture displayed by the camera asume
that the focus is set to infinity. The actua
aperture (effective f-number) becomes darker
(effective f-number increases) at closer focusing
distances (magnification increases). This does
not cause exposure problems for normal picture-
taking. However, for closeup photography, you
cannot ignore the change in the effective f-
number.

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.
• When shooting a still subject, it compensates for
camera shake in all directions.
• It compensates for vertical camera shake during
following shots in a horizontal direction, and
compensates for horizontal camera shake
during following shots in a vertical direction.
• Using a tripod also stabilizes the image.
However, depending on the kind of tripod and
sooting conditions, sometimes it may be better

• Thstabilizer is equally effective for hand-held
photography and photography with a monopod.

9.Taking Hand-held Close-ups
Close-up shots are more prone to be affected by
camera shake than with normal shooting. The
Image Stabilizer's corrective effect is therefore
less during close-ups than during normal shooting
even with the same degree of camera shake.
The depth of field also becomes very shallow with
close-ups, and moving forward or back even
slightly will throw off the focus.
When hand-holding the camera for close-up
shooting, minimize camera shake and blurred
focus with the following techniques:
Place bth elbows on a steady surface such as a table.
Hold the camera firmly
As shown on the right, hold the camera irmly so
it does not move while shooting.
Use AI Servo AF
For close-up shots, set the camera's AF mode to
AI Servo AF. Using autofocus is recommended.
The AI Servo AF mode can minimize blurred
focus during close-up shooting.
Use your knee to support
an arm holding the
camera.
Lean against a steady
object like a wall.
For details, see the camera's instruction manual.
