ENG-1
Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.
The Canon EF50mm f/1.2L USM lens is a
high-performance, large-aperture standard
lens with a large-diameter, high-precision,
aspherical lens element designed for EOS
cameras.
The lens is suitable for portraits and other
types of photographs making full use of the
large-diameter lens feature for nice
background blur.
¡“USM” stands for Ultrasonic Motor.
Features
1. Large-diameter, high-precision aspheric lens
element for excellent imaging performance
even at the maximum aperture.
2. Ultrasonic motor (USM) for quick and quiet
autofocusing.
3. Manual focusing is available after the subject
comes into focus in autofocus mode (ONE
SHOT AF).
4. A truly round aperture hole results in a nicer
background blur.
5. Tight seal structure ensures excellent dustproof and drip-proof performance.
• Since the front element of this lens moves when
focusing, you need to attach a Canon PROTECT
filter sold separately for adequate dust-and
water-resistant performance. Without a filter, the
lens is not dust or water resistant.

a Safety Precautions
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.
