Instruction
a Safety Precautions
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 class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. hse limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
nst hamful interference in a residential installation. This
ment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency
ergy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the
instuctions, 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 in
a warm one, condensation may develop on the
lens surface and internal parts. To preven
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.

To use only manual focusing (MF), 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 t
rear end up to prevent the lens surface and
electrical contacts from getting scratchd.
• 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.
• 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

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.

5. 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 for normal photography such as portraits.
Closeup Photography
Close-up photos up to 1x (life-size) magnification
are possible. The minimum focusing distance of
31 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 15 cm.
When focusing, you can give priority to framing
or to magnification.
Since macro shots have a very shallow depth of
fielfocus carefully to obtain proper sharpness.
• 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.
• To check the depth of field, press the camera's
depth-of-field preview button.
[Magnification Priority]
1. Set the lens' focus mode switch to MF.
2. Set the magnification.
While referring to the magnification scale on
the lens, turn the focusing ring to the desired
magnification.

6. About Exposure
When you use a handheld exposure meter to set
the exposure, you must take into account the
exposure factor shown in the following table.
Setting the Exposure
When taking photographs using TTL metering,
no exposure compensation is necessary to meter
the light coming through the lens.
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.

Magnification and Effective f-
number
• The correct exposure for a close-up shot largely
depends on the subject. Therefore, try to bracket
the exposure for the same subject.
• Using aperture-priority AE (Av) or Manual (M)
picture-taking modes are recommended for
macro photography as it is easy to adjust depth
of field and exposure in these modes.
The aperture displayed by the camera asume
that the focus is set to infinity. The actua
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.
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.

• When switching to vertical shooting, rotate the
camera so that the grip is at the top. Rotating
the camera in the opposite direction will have
the grip bump into the tripod mount.
For accurate manual focusing on subjects at
infinity distance, look through the viewfinder while
rotating the focusing ring.
• Before attaching or detaching the lens, set the
tripod mount back to its normal position
(horizontal shooting position). Otherwise, the
tripod mount may bump into the camera grip or
pentaprism and prevent the lens from being
attached to or detached from the camera.
• If the EOS camera has a built-in flash, the
pentaprism may prevent the tripod mount from
being rotated to the top of the lens.
