lens is a macro lens dedicated to Canon EOS
cameras. It is equipped with an Image

as well as normal shots.

• "IS" stands for Image Stabilizer.

• "USM" stands for Ultrasonic Motor.

Warning to prevent lens or camera malfunction
or damage.

Supplementary notes on using the lens and
taking pictures.

Features

1. The Image Stabilizer provides the effect of
having a shutter speed about four stops faster
during normal shooting.*
This function provides optimal image
stabilization depending on shooting conditions
(such as shooting still subjects and following
shots).

2. And with the vibration gyro and acceleration
sensor, the image stabilization is highly
effective even for close-up shots.

3. UD lens elements for excellent imaging
performance.

4. Ultrasonic motor (USM) for quick and quiet
autofocusing.

5.

Manual focusing is available after the subject comes
into focus in autofocus mode (ONE SHOT AF).

6. A truly round aperture hole results in a nicer
background blur.

7. A Canon macro flash makes it easy to take
close-up pictures with a flash.The inner
focusing mechanism enables AF photography
while the macro flash is attached.

8. Tight seal structure ensures excellent dust­proof and drip-proof performance.

*

Based on [1/focal length] second.
To prevent blur caused by camera shake during normal
shooting, the shutter speed should be the reciprocal of
the current focal length (1/focal length) or faster.

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.

See your camera’s instructions for details on
mounting and detaching the lens.

• 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.

• 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.

1.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.

To shoot in autofocus (AF) mode, set the focus
mode switch to AF.
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.

2.Setting 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)

You can switch the focusing distance range to
one of three settings: FULL (0.3 m/1.0 ft. to
infinity), 0.3 m/1.0 ft. to 0.5 m/1.6 ft., or 0.5 m/1.6
ft. to infinity.
By setting the suitable focusing distance range,
the actual autofocusing time can be shorter.
