Features

1.

The Image Stabilizer gives the equivalent
effect of a shutter speed four stops faster*.
This function provides optimal image
stabilization depending

on

shooting conditions

(such

as

shooting still subjects and following

shots).

2.

Aspherical and

UD

lens elements result

in

outstanding image delineation.

3.

A truly round aperture hole resultsina nicer
background blur.

* Based on [1/(focal length x 1.6)] second. Generally,

it

requires a shutter speed [1/focallength] second or
faster to prevent camera shake (in 35mm format.
With

an

EF-S lens, it would be [1/(focal length x

1.6)] second).

Safety Precautions

•

Do

not look at the sun or a bright light source

through the lens or camera.

Doingsocould

result

in

loss of vision. Looking at the sun directly

through the lens is especially hazardous.

• Whetheritis

attachedtothe 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 lensistaken 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 takingitfrom 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 lensinexcessive heat such as

in

a carindirect sunlight. High temperatures can

cause the lens to malfunction.

This device complies with Part15of the FCC Rules. Operation

is
subjecttothe following two conditions: (1) This device may not

This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a class B digital device, pursuant

to

part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference

in

a residential installation. This.
