internal parts.

put the lens into an airtight plastic bag before taking it

To prevent condensation in this case, first

1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens

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 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 
index of the dust cap, and turn clockwise. To remove it,
reverse the order.

2. Setting the Focus Mode

To shoot in autofocus (AF) mode, set the focus mode switch
to AF ❹.
To shoot in manual focus (MF) mode, set the focus mode
switch to MF, and focus by turning the focusing ring.

• On the EF75-300mm f/4-5.6 II/III and EF90-300mm
f/4.5-5.6 only, the focusing ring is the ring at the front
end of the lens.

• Do not touch the rotating parts of the lens while AF is
active.

• Do not focus in MF when the focus mode switch is set to
AF.

• When the hood (sold separately) is installed to the EF80­200mm f/4.5-5.6 II, you can turn the hood to adjust with
MF.

3. Zooming

To zoom, turn the lens’ zoom ring ❺.

• Be sure to finish zooming before focusing. Changing the
zoom ring after focusing can affect the focus.

also protects the lens from rain, snow, and dust.
Fit the hood to the hood mount, then turn it in the direction
of the arrow to attach it securely ❻.
The hood can be reverse-mounted on the lens for storage ❼.

• Part of the picture may be blocked if the hood is not
attached properly.

• When attaching or detaching the hood, grasp the base of
the hood to turn it. To prevent deformation, do not grasp
the rim of the hood to turn it.

5. Filters

You can attach filters to the filter mounting thread on the
front of the lens.

• Only one filter may be attached.

• Use a polarizing Canon filter.
