Instruction
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
undesired operation.
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
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
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipent generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
rgy nd, if not installed and used in accordance with the
istructions, 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.
• 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 int
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.
• 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.

Mounting and Detaching the Lens
Setting the Focus Mode
1
2
See your camera’s instructions for details on
mounting and detaching the lens.
To shoot in autofocus (AF) mode, set the focus
mode switch to AF.
o use only manual focusing (MF), set the focus
ode switch to MF, and focus by turning the
focusing ring. The focusing ring always works,
regardless of the focus mode.
¡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.
After autofocusing in ONE SHOT AF mode, focus
manually by pressing the shutter button halfway
and turning the focusing ring. (Full-time manual
focus)
¡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.

Picture Taking

3. Focus the subject.
Normal Photography
While looking through the viewfinder, move the
camera forward or back to find the point of
focus.
4. Touch up the focus.
Turn the focusing ring for fine focusing.
The lens can be used as a medium-telephoto
lens equivalent to 96mm in 35mm format for
normal photography such as snapshots and
portraits.
Closeup Photography
Close-up photos up to 1x (life-size) magnification
are possible. The minimum focusing distance of
20 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 9 cm.
When focusing, you can give priority to framing
or to magnification.
Since macro shots have a very shallow depth of
field, focus carefully to obtain proper sharpness.
¡Image quality deteriorates near the minimum
aperture opening due to diffraction.
¡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 prevent camera shake, using a Remote
Switch (both sold separately) and tripod is
recommended.
[Framing Priority]
While looking through the viewfinder and framing
the subject, focus with the AF or MF mode.
[Magnification Priority]
1. Set the lens’ focus mode switch to MF.
2. Set the magnification.
¡To check the depth of field, press the camera’s
depth-of-field preview button.
While referring to the magnification scale on
the lens, turn the focusing ring to the desired
magnification.

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.
¡The correct exposure for a close-up shot largely
depends on the subject. Therefore, it is
recommended to take several shots of the same
subject at different exposures.
¡When taking close-up shots, it is recommended
to use aperture-priority AE (Av) or Manual (M)
picture-taking modes, because depth of field
and exposure are easy to adjust in those
modes.
Magnification and Effective f-number
The aperture displayed by the camera assumes
that the focus is set to infinity. The actual 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.
When you use a handheld exposure meter to
set the exposure, you must take into account
the exposure factor shown in the following
table.
If your eye will not be covering the eyepiece when
the picture is taken (with remote control operation,
etc.), use the eyepiece shutter or eyepiece cover.
This prevents stray light from entering the
eyepiece and throwing off the proper exposure.

Infinity Compensation Mark
Attaching a 250D or 500D (52mm) Close-up
Lens enables close-up photography.
The magnification will be as follows.
¡Close-up Lens 250D: 1.33x - 0.25x
¡Close-up Lens 500D: 1.18x - 0.12x
Manual focusing is recommended for accurate
focusing.
Distance index
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.
