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 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.  
• 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.

mode 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.  
• 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

Distance Range  
You can set the focusing distance range to  
0.48 m/1.6 ft. to infinity or 1.5 m/4.9 ft. to infinity.  
By setting the suitable focusing distance range,  
the actual autofocusing time can be shorter.  
The ET-78 II hood can keep unwanted light out  
the lens, and also protects the front of the lens  
from rain, snow, and dust.  
Attach and align the hood to the hood mount on  
the front of the lens, and turn the hood as shown  
by the arrow to secure it.  
The hood can be reverse-mounted on the lens  
for storage.  
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.  
• 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.  
• Remove the hood when using the macro flash.

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.  
For accurate manual focusing on subjects at  
infinity distance, look through the viewfinder while  
rotating the focusing ring.

7. 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 telephoto lens for  
normal photography.  
Closeup Photography  
Close-up photos (minimum focusing distance of  
0.48m) up to 1x (life-size) magnification are  
possible. The minimum focusing distance is the  
distance from the subject to the film plane. The  
distance from the front of the lens to the subject  
(working distance) is about 0.25m.  
Since macro shots have a very shallow depth of  
field, focus carefully to obtain proper sharpness.  
mage 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.  
When focusing, you can give priority to framing  
or to magnification.  
[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.

9. Macro Flash  
(Sold Separately)  
The Canon Macro Ring Lite MR-14EX or the  
Macro Twin Lite MT-24EX enables fully automatic  
macro flash photography up to 1x magnification  
in E-TTL autoflash mode.  
For normal photography, remove the Macro Lite  
Adapter, because it may create a dark  
circumference.  
Install the Macro Lite Adapter 72C (sold  
separately) on the filter mounting thread on the  
front of the lens for macro flash photography.  
• For information on operating the Canon Macro  
Ring Lite MR-14EX or the Macro Twin Lite MT-  
24EX, refer to the individual instruction booklets.  
• Using aperture-priority AE (Av) or Manual (M) is  
recommended.

• First attach the Extender to the lens, then attach the lens to the camera. Detach it from the  
camera in the reverse order. If you attach the lens to the camera first, misoperation may  
occur.  
• With the EF1.4X II Extender attached, autofocusing is enabled from 0.8 m/2.6 ft. to infinity.  
Autofocus mode cannot be used to take pictures closer than 0.8 m/2.6 ft. due to the relation  
with the effective F value, so use manual focusing.  
• If you use an Extender on the lens mounted on a EOS A2/A2E/5, set the exposure  
compensation to -1/2 stop for the EF1.4X ll or -1 stop for the EF2X ll.  
• Only one Extender can be attached to the lens and camera.
