2. High-speed,

quiet

Autofocusing

achieved

during

viewfinder

shooting.

3. UD lens elements for

excellent imaging performance.

an image

stabilization

effect

equivalent

to a shutter

speed

3.5

stops*2 faster

(telephoto end, when

used with the

Image Stabilizer also

provides

optimal

image stabilization that responds

to shooting conditions (such as shooting

still

subjects and

following

shots).

5.

Electronic manual

focusing (MF) made

possible

by

electronically

detecting the rotation of the focusing ring.

Manual

focusing is

available

after the subject comes

into focus

in

autofocus mode

(ONE SHOT AF).

with the

following

camera (as

of

July 2013):

EOS

REBEL T5i/700D, EOS REBEL

SL 1/1000,

EOS

REBEL T4i/650D, EOS

M (when using with

Mount Adapter

EF-EOS

*2: Image stabilization performance based

on

CIPA

(Camera

&

Imaging

Products Association) Standards.

During

actual

shooting, image stabilization

performance varies depending

on

the amount of

camera shake, shooting conditions, and other factors.

Handling

Cautions

e

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.

e Do not

leave

the

lens

in

excessive heat such as

in

a car

in

direct sunlight.

High temperatures can cause the

lens

to

malfunction.

Usage Precautions

e

When using this lens

with

an

EOS

REBEL T 4i/650D

camera,

please

be sure to update the camera's

firmware to version

1.0.4 or

later.

e

If

the

EOS

REBEL T 4i/650D firmware is

an

earlier

version than 1.0.4, there is a

slight

chance that the

camera

will

stop operating.

If

this occurs,

please

remove

the battery

temporarily and insert it again for correct

camera operation.

e

For information

on

firmware updates,

please check the

Canon

website.

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.

Shooting Precautions

The EF-S55-250mm f/4-5.6

IS

STM utilizes

a stepping motor that drives the focus

lens.

The motor

also controls the focus lens

during zooming.

1. When

the

camera

is

OFF

The motor does not operate while the camera is

OFF

or when the camera is

OFF

due to the use

of

the auto power

off function. Therefore, users must be aware

of

the following points.

e

Manual focus adjustments are not possible.

e

During zooming, delayed focus

will

occur.

2.

When

the

lens

is

in sleep

mode

If

not operated for a certain period

of

time, this

lens will

enter sleep mode

in

order to save power.

Sleep

mode

differs from when the camera is OFF

due to the use

of

the auto power off function.

In

this state, the motor

will

not

operate even if the camera is

ON.

Therefore, users must be aware

of

the following points.

•

Manual focus adjustments are not possible.

e

During zooming, delayed focus

will

occur.

•

To

exit sleep mode, press the shutter button halfway.

3.

During initial

reset

When the camera is

ON

or when the camera is turned

ON

by pressing the shutter button halfway down when the

camera is OFF

due to the use

of

the auto power off function*1, the lens performs an initial reset

of

the focus lens.

e

Although the image

in

the viewfinder

will appear out

of

focus during the initial reset, this does not mean that the

lens has malfunctioned.

e

Although the shutter can be released during the initial reset, users must wait approximately 1 second*2 after the
initial reset has completed before shooting.
