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

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.
¡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.
To ue 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 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.

Infinity compensation mark
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
int at which the vertical line of the L mark is
aigned with the distance indicator on the
distance scale.
To zoom, turn the lens’ zoom ring.
Be sure to finish zooming before focusing.
Changing the zoom ring after focusing can affect
the focus.
For accurate manual focusing on subjects at
infinity distance, look through the viewfinder while
rotating the focusing ring.

Image Stabilizer
5
You can use the image stabilizer in AF or MF
mode.
¡The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a
blurred shot caused by a subject that moved.
¡The Image Stabilizer may not be fully effective if
you shoot from a violently shaking vehicle or
other transportation.
This function provides optimal image stabilization
depending on shooting conditions (such as
shooting still subjects and following shots).
¡The Image Stabilizer consumes more power
than normal shooting, so fewer shots can be
taken if you use the function.
¡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.
¡When you use a tripod, the Image Stabilizer
should be turned off to save battery power.
¡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 ll.
Set the STABILIZER switch to

start operating.
¡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.
¡Make sure the image in the viewfinder is
stable, then press the shutter button the
rest of the way down to take the picture.
ENG-6
Image Stabilizer
The image stabilizer in this lens is effective for hand-held shots under the following
conditions.
¡In semi-darkened areas such as indoors or
outdoors at night.
¡When panning subjects in motion.
¡In locations where flash photography is
prohibited, such as art museums and theater
stages.
¡In situations where your footing is uncertain.
¡In situations where fast shutter settings cannot
be used.
