Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.

The Canon EF24-105mm f/4L IS USM lens is a
high-performance standard zoom lens
developed for EOS cameras. It is equipped
with an Image Stabilizer, and covers a wide
range of focal lengths from wide angle to
mid-telephoto.

¡“IS” stands for Image Stabilizer.

¡“USM” stands for Ultrasonic Motor.

Features

1. The Image Stabilizer gives the equivalent
effect of a shutter speed three stops faster.*

2. Aspheric and super UD lens elements for
excellent imaging performance.

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

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

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

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

* Based on [1/focal length] second.Generally, it requires

a shutter speed [1/focal length] second or faster to
prevent camera shake.

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.
