Instruction
Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.
Developed for Canon EOS cameras, the Canon EF 300mm f/4L IS Ultrasonic lens is an interchangeable SLR lens equipped with a dual-mode Image Stabilizer (IS). The Image Stabilizer reduces blur caused by camera shake approximately two full shutter speeds compared to normal handheld shooting.

•A special mode provided to obtain steadier viewfinder images during panning etc.
•A switch turns the Image Stabilizer circuit on and off.

3.Ultrasonic Motor (USM) for quiet autofocusing.
4.Wide focusing ring makes manual focusing easy.
5.Minimum focusing distance of 1.5 m / 4.9 ft.
6.Compatible with Extender EF 1.4× ll and EF 2× ll.
7.The Image Stabilizer can be used while an Extender is attached (except with certain EOS cameras).

ENG-1
(1)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 can cause a fire.
(2)Do not look at the sun or a bright light source through the lens or camera.
Doing so can result in loss of vision. Looking at the sun through the detached lens is especially hazardous.

•After detaching the lens, attach the dust cap to the rear of the lens to protect the electrical contacts and lens surface from scratching.
•If the contacts are dirty, scratched, or soiled with fingerprints, etc., corrosion or a faulty connection or operation may result.
•If the lens surface is dirty, the lens may not autofocus properly.
