Instructions

Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.

Canon’s TS-E lenses are tilt-shift lenses designed for EOS cameras. The tilt-shift mechanism enables photographers to control the depth of field and the area photographed and to correct image distortion, making it possible to take sophisticated pictures that cannot be shot using a conventional lens.

● To ensure that you make the most of the TS-E lens

functionality, it is recommended that you shoot in the following conditions.

• Use an EOS camera with 100% viewfinder visibility (EOS-1, EOS-1D or EOS-1Ds series) and use the laser matte with grid focusing screen Ec-D

• Use Live View

• Use a tripod

● On EOS cameras with a built-in flash, some partial

restrictions may apply to the shift and rotation functions.

Features

1. Aspherical and UD lens elements result in outstanding image delineation.

2. SWC (Subwavelength Structure Coating) dramatically reduces ghosting and flare caused by light entering at an acute angle.

3. The lens can be tilted up to ±6.5° (for TSE17mm f/4L) or ±8.5° (for TS-E24mm f/3.5L II), and shifted up to ±12mm.

4. The tilt and shift functions can be used singly or in combination. The tilt and shift can switch from right angle to parallel using the TS rotation feature.

5. The lens can be rotated to change the tilt or shift direction.

6. Atruly round aperture hole results in a nicer background blur.

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.

●

To mount/detach the lens, always move the tilt and shift scales to

camera may be damaged.

●

When you tilt or shift the lens, sharp portions of the tilt or shift mechanism are exposed and care should be taken to avoid touching these portions.

●

Do not operate the shift function while operating the rotation function. You may be injured by having your

fingers caught.

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.

Countermeasures for harmful rays

The TS-E17mm f/4L has a wide angle of view, and the lens protrudes from the front frame, so it can be affected by harmful rays. To prevent flare and ghosting,

cutting off the harmful rays entering the lens with a piece of cardboard is recommended. Cutting off harmful rays is also recommended for TSE24mm f/3.5L II, by using both the hood and the method used for TS-E17mm f/4L.

About the Shift Knob Cap

Shifting will be easier if the supplied shift knob cap is mounted (p.4). However, for EOS cameras with built-in flash, the cap will come in contact with the camera during the lens’ mounting/detaching, or during shift/rotation operation. The shift knob cap is recommended for use with EOS-1, EOS-1D, EOS-1Ds, and EOS 5D series.

Mounting screw (Length 3mm)

Remove the shift knob screw.

COPY

The screw (length 2.2mm) originally in the shift knob cannot be used to keep the shift knob cap in place. Always use the supplied screw.

Use a watchmaker's screwdriver (Phillips head type) to remove or mount screws.

Mount the cap by squeezing it into the shift knob, and then fix it using the supplied screw. To remove the cap, remove the screw and pull out the cap.
