Instructions

Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.

COPY

Canon’s TS-E lenses are tilt-shift lenses
designed for EOS cameras. The tilt-shift
mechanism enables photographers to control
the depth of field and the area photographed
and to correct image distortion, making it
possible to take sophisticated pictures that
cannot be shot using a conventional lens.

● To ensure that you make the most of the TS-E lens

functionality, it is recommended that you shoot in the
following conditions.

• Use an EOS camera with 100% viewfinder visibility
(EOS-1, EOS-1D or EOS-1Ds series) and use the
laser matte with grid focusing screen Ec-D

• Use Live View

• Use a tripod

● On EOS cameras with a built-in flash, some partial

restrictions may apply to the shift and rotation
functions.

Features

1. Aspherical and UD lens elements result in
outstanding image delineation.

2. SWC (Subwavelength Structure Coating)
dramatically reduces ghosting and flare
caused by light entering at an acute angle.

3. The lens can be tilted up to ±6.5° (for TS­E17mm f/4L) or ±8.5° (for TS-E24mm f/3.5L
II), and shifted up to ±12mm.

4. The tilt and shift functions can be used singly
or in combination. The tilt and shift can switch
from right angle to parallel using the TS
rotation feature.

5. The lens can be rotated to change the tilt or
shift direction.

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

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.

●

To mount/detach the lens, always move the tilt and
shift scales to

camera may be damaged.

●

When you tilt or shift the lens, sharp portions of the
tilt or shift mechanism are exposed and care should
be taken to avoid touching these portions.

●

Do not operate the shift function while operating the
rotation function. You may be injured by having your

fingers caught.

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.

Countermeasures for harmful rays

The TS-E17mm f/4L has a wide angle of view, and the
lens protrudes from the front frame, so it can be
affected by harmful rays. To prevent flare and ghosting,

cutting off the harmful rays entering the lens with a piece
of cardboard is recommended.
Cutting off harmful rays is also recommended for TS­E24mm f/3.5L II, by using both the hood and the method
used for TS-E17mm f/4L.

Conventions used in this instruction

Warning to prevent lens or camera malfunction
or damage.

Supplementary notes on using the lens and
taking pictures.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is

About the Shift Knob Cap

COPY

Shifting will be easier if the supplied shift knob cap is mounted (p.4).
However, for EOS cameras with built-in flash, the cap will come in contact with the camera during
the lens’ mounting/detaching, or during shift/rotation operation. The shift knob cap is recommended
for use with EOS-1, EOS-1D, EOS-1Ds, and EOS 5D series.

Mounting screw
(Length 3mm)

Shift knob cap

Remove the shift knob
screw.

The screw (length 2.2mm) originally in the shift knob cannot be used to
keep the shift knob cap in place. Always use the supplied screw.

Use a watchmaker's screwdriver (Phillips head type) to remove or mount
screws.

Mount the cap by squeezing it into
the shift knob, and then fix it using
the supplied screw.
To remove the cap, remove the
screw and pull out the cap.
