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:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increasthe separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Conlt he dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for

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 concentratin
the sun’s rays, which could cause a fire.
s Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
a Precautions for shooting with EOS-1N RS
•
When using this lens to shoot with EOS-1N RS, use –2/3 step
or –1/2 step exposure compensation.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. peration i
subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may nt
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

shooin autofocus (AF) mode, set the focus
de switch to AF.
To shoot in manual focus (MF) mode, set the
focus 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
contacts from getting scratched.
● If the contacts get soiled, scratched, or ave
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.

3. Switching the Focusing
Distance Range
You can set the focusing distance range to 1.8
m/5.9 ft. to infinity or 6.5 m/21.3 ft. to infinity. By
setting the suitable focusing distance range,
actual autofocusing time will be shorter
If you use AF from outside the specified focusin
distance range, the lens may stop focusing when it
reaches the limit of the range. This is not a
malfunction. If this occurs, press the shutter button
halfway down again.

4. Adjusting Zooming Resistance
Move the zoom ring forward or backward to
zoom.
You can adjust the zoom ring “touch”
(resistnce) as needed by holding the focusing
in pace and turning the zoom touch
ajustment ring.
● Be sure to finish zooming before focusing.
Changing the zoom ring after focusing can aff
the focus.
● To prevent unintended extension of the ront of
the lens, be careful not to set the zoom rng to
loose.
Turn the zoom touch adjustment ring towards the
word SMOOTH to reduce the zooming touch, or
towards TIGHT to increase it. To lock the zoom
ring in place, turn the zoom touch adjustment ring
towards TIGHT until it stops.

Tips on Using the Image Stabilizer
● 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 II or
EF25 II.
● The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a
blurred shot caused by a subject that moved.
● Set the STABILIZER switch to OFF when using the
camera on a tripod. If the switch is set to ON, the
Image Stabilizer may introduce errors.
● When using extender EF1.4× II/EF2× II, you can
use the Image Stabilizer with the following cameras:
EOS-1Ds Mark III, EOS-1Ds Mark II, EOS-1Ds,
EOS-1D Mark III, EOS-1D Mark II N, EOS-1D Mark

Lite/IX7
● Depending on the camera there may be image
shake, such as after releasing the shutter. However,
this does not 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.
● Set the STABILIZER switch to OFF when you are
taking pictures using the Bulb setting (long
exposures). If the STABILIZER switch is set to ON,
the image stabilizer function may introduce errors.
● The Image Stabilizer might not be fully effective in
the following cases:
• You shoot from a violently moving vehicle.
• You move the camera dramatically for a panning
shot in Mode 1.
• You shoot using techniques other than folowing
shots in Mode 2.
● The Image Stabilizer consumes more power tha
normal shooting, so fewer shots can be 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, REBEL 2000/300, IX, IX Lite/IX7, and

To compensate for shifting of the infinity focus
point that results from changes in temperature.
The infinity position at normal temperature is th
point at which the vertical line of the L mark i
aligned with the distance indicator on the
distance scale.
Some EOS cameras cannot use infrared film. See
the instructions for your EOS camera.
For accurate focusing in MF on subjects at infinity
distance, look through the viewfinder while rotating
the focusing ring.
● The infrared index position is based on a
wavelength of 800 nm.
● The compensation amount differs depending on
the focal length. Use the indicated focal length
as a guide when setting the compensation
amount.
● Be sure to observe the manufacturer’s
instructions when using infrared film.
● Use a red filter also when you take the picture.

11. Filters
(Sold Separately)
You can attach filters to the filter mounting
thread on the front of the lens.
● Use a polarizing Canon filter (77mm).
● To adjust the polarizing filter, first remove the
lens hood.
The ET-83C hood can keep unwanted light out
of the lens, and also protects the lens from rain,
snow, and dust. Fit the hood to the hood mount,
then turn it in the direction of the arrow to atta
it securely. The hood can be reverse-mounte
on the lens for storage.
● 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.

Mark II, EOS-1Ds, EOS-1D Mark III, EOS-1D Mark II N, EOS-1D Mark II, EOS-1D, EOS-
1V/HS, or EOS-3.
● When using extender EF2× II, the focusing mode is MF mode.
● Extenders cannot be used more than one at a time.
● Use –1/2 step exposure compensation for EF1.4× II, and –1 step exposure compensation for
EF2× II when shooting with EOS A2/A2E/5.
