If such changes or   modifications should be made, you could be required to stop   operation of the equipment.   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   Rule. Tese limits are designed to provide reasonable protection   inst rmful interference in a residential installation. This   pment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency   eergy 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   • 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.   Do not point the lens or camera at the sun or photograph   it. This is because the lens concentrates the sun’s rays even   when the sun is outside the image area or when shooting   with backlight, which could cause malfunction or fire.   • • 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.   • Do not stand on the lens case. Falling off the case   could result in injury.   • Do not stack lens cases. A falling lens case ould   cause an injury.   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 Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.   • Do not leave the lens in excessive heat such as in a   car in direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause   the lens to malfunction.   ENG-2   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.

All Manuals Search And Download.   Tips on Using the Image Stabilizer   • The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a   blurred shot caused by a subject that moved.   • Using a tripod also stabilizes the image.   However, depending on the kind of tripod and   shooting conditions, sometimes it may be better   to turn off the Image Stabilizer function.   • The stabilizer is equally effective for hand-held   photography and photography with a monopod.   • Set the STABILIZER switch to   when you   are taking pictures using the Bulb setting (long   exposures). If the STABILIZER switch is set to   , the image stabilizer function may introduce   errors.   • The Image Stabilizer might not be fully effective   in the following cases:   • You shoot while riding on a bumpy road.   • You move the camera dramatically for a   panning shot in Mode 1.   • You shoot using techniques other than   following shots in Mode 2.   • The Image Stabilizer consumes more power   than normal shooting, so fewer shots can e   taken if you use the function.   • 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.   • With the EOS-1V/HS, 3, ELAN 7E/ELAN   7/30/33, ELAN 7NE/ELAN 7N/30V/33V, ELAN   II/ELAN II E/50/50E, REBEL2000/300, IX, and   D30, the Image Stabilizer will not work during   self-timer operation.   • The image stabilizer function also operates when the   lens is used with an Extension Tube EF12 ll or EF25 ll.   • With Extender EF1.4X II/EF2X II attached to the   lns, the Image Stabilizer will work with the   fowing cameras:   EOS-1Ds Mark III, EOS-1Ds Mark II, EOS-1Ds, EOS-1D Mark   lll, EOS-1D Mark II N, EOS-1D Mark II, EOS-1D, EOS 40D,   30D, 20D, 20Da, 10D, 5D, DIGITAL REBEL XSi/450D, DIGITAL   REBEL XTi/400D DIGITAL, DIGITAL REBEL XT/350D DIGITAL,   DIGITAL REBEL/300D DIGITAL, D60, D30, EOS DCS1, DCS3,   D2000, D6000, EOS-1V/HS, EOS-1N/DP/HS/RS, 3, ELAN   7E/ELAN 7/30/33, ELAN 7NE/ELAN 7N/30V/33V, ELAN   II/ELAN IIE/50/50E, REBEL X/REBEL XS/500, REBEL G/500N,   REBEL 2000/300, REBEL Ti/300V, REBEL T2/300X, REBEL   K2/3000V, IX, IX Lite/IX7, 3000/88, 5000/888   • Pictures may look distorted after being taken depending   on the camera, but this doesn't affect shooting.   • 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.   ENG-11   Download from Www.Somanuals.com.
