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.
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 ca
attached. This is to prevent the lens from

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:
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.

1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens
See your camera’s instructions for details on
mounting and detaching the lens.
The lens mount has a rubber ring for enhanced
water- and dust-resistance. The rubber ring may
cause slight abrasions around the camera's lens
mount, but this will not cause any problems. If the
rubber ring becomes worn, it is replaceable by a
Canon Service Center at cost.
• 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 ens
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
cap. To attach it properly, align the lens mount
index and the
K
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
To shoot in autofocus (AF) mode, set the focus
mode switch to AF.
To use only manual focusing (MF), set the foc
mode switch to MF, and focus by turning the
focusing ring. The focusing ring always works
regardless of the focus mode.
can et the focusing distance range to
1m/3.9 ft. to infinity or 3 m/9.8 ft. to infinity. By
setting the suitable focusing distance range, the
actual autofocusing time can be shorter.
After autofocusing in ONE SHOT AF mode, focus
manually by pressing the shutter button halfway
and turning the focusing ring. (Full-time manual
focus)

4. Zooming
5. Hood
To zoom, turn the zoom ring.
The ET74 hood can keep unwanted light out of

rainsnow, and dust.
Aach 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.
Be sure to finish zooming before focusing.
Zooming after focusing can affect the focus.
The hood can be reverse-mounted 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.

7. Tips on Using the Image Stabilizer
The image stabilizer in this lens is effective for hand-held shots under the following conditions.
● MODE 1
● MODE 2
• 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.
ENG-8
Tips on Using the Image Stabilizer
• The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a
blurred shot caused by a subject that moved.
•
•
•
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 the EF12 II or EF25 II
Extension Tube, and the EF1.4X II Extender.
With Extender EF2X II attached to the lens, the
Image Stabilizer will work with the following

shooting.
•
Set the STABILIZER switch to

taking pictures using the Bulb setting (long
exposures). If the STABILIZER switch is set to
the image stabilizer function may introduce errors.
• The Image Stabilizer might not be fully effective
in the following cases:
• You shoot while riding on a bumpy road.
• You move the camera dramatically for a
panning shot in Mode 1.
• You shoot using techniques other than
following shots in Mode 2.
,
•
• The Image Stabilizer consumes more pwer
than normal shooting, so fewer shots cn 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

8. Infinity Compensation Mark
9. Infrared Index
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
point at which the vertical line of the L mark i
aligned with the distance indicator on the
distance scale.
The infrred index corrects the focus setting when using
nochme infrared film. Focus on the subject
ually, hen adjust the distance setting by moving the
fousing ring to the corresponding infrared index mark.
Some EOS cameras cannot use infrared film. See
the instructions for your EOS camera.
For accurate manual focusing 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 when you take the picture.

10. Using the Tripod Mount
(Sold separately)
Adjusting the Revolving Mount
This lens can be used with the A II (W) tripod mount ring, sold separately.
You can loosen the orientation lock-knob on the tripod mount to allow it to rotate as needed to fit a
particular camera model for switching between vertical and horizontal positions.
Detaching
Use the following procedures to remove and attach the tripod mount.
With the collar open,
remove the tripod mount.
To install, while pulling the
locking knob, bring the collar
to the original position, and
tighten the locking knob

possible.
• Only one Extender can be attached to the lens and camera.
• 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 II or -1 stop for the EF2X II.
• Autofocusing is still enabled with Extender EF1.4X II attached.
• When an Extender is attached, the AF speed will become slower by design to retain proper
AF control.
