Safety Precautions

Precautions to ensure that the camera is used safely. Read these precautions thoroughly. Make sure all details are observed in order to prevent risks and injury to the user and other people.

Warning Details pertaining to risks that may result in death or serious injury.

OODo not look at the sun or a bright light source through the lens or single-lens reflex camera. Doing so could result in loss of vision. Looking at the sun directly through the lens is especially hazardous.

OOWhether 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.

Caution Details pertaining to risks that may result in injury.

OODo not leave the camera in locations subject to high or low temperatures. This may result in the camera becoming excessively hot or cold, which may cause burns or other injuries when touched.

OO Do not insert your fingers inside the camera. Failure to observe this may result in injury.

OOBefore mounting or detaching the lens, or turning the lens for rotation or TS rotation, always lock the lens in a non-tilted and non-shifted position. Not doing so may cause injury.

OOWhen tilting or shifting the lens, avoid touching protrusions on the tilt mechanism and shift mechanism. Not doing so may cause injury.

Caution Details pertaining to risks that may result in damage to property.

OODo not leave the lens in excessive heat such as in a car in direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause the lens to malfunction.

OO Do not turn knobs forcefully. This may cause malfunction.

OOWhen mounting or detaching the lens or turning the lens for rotation, always lock the lens in a non-tilted and non-shifted position. Not doing so may cause malfunction.

CAN ICES-3(B)/NMB-3(B)

Operation is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This

 

 

device may not cause harmful interference, and (2) this

 

device must accept any interference received, including

 

interference that may cause undesired operation.

 

Do not make any changes or modifications to the equipment

 

unless otherwise specified in the instructions. If such changes

 

or modifications should be made, you could be required to

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 equipment generates, uses and

 

can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not installed and

 

used in accordance with the instructions, may cause harmful

 

interference to radio communications.

 

However, there is no guarantee that interference will not

 

occur in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause

 

harmful interference to radio or television reception, which

 

can be determined by turning the equipment off and on, the

 

user is encouraged to try to correct the interference by one or

 

more of the following measures:

 

• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.

 

• Increase the separation between the equipment and

 

receiver.

 

• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different

 

from that to which the receiver is connected.

 

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician

 

for help.

General Precautions

Handling Precautions

OO 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.

OO Please also read any lens related handling precautions listed in your camera’s instruction manual.

Shooting Precautions

OOTo ensure that you use the lens’ functions effectively, it is recommended that you shoot in the following conditions.

Use an EOS camera with about 100% viewfinder visibility

Use Live View (with onscreen grid)

Use an external monitor

Use a tripod

Use a matte with grid focusing screen

Use a stand-alone exposure meter

OOSince only a hood is not very effective in cutting off the harmful rays entering the lens, also using a piece of cardboard is recommended.

OOIf using Digital Photo Professional to perform lens correction (lens aberration correction, Digital Lens Optimizer, etc.)*, shooting with rotation or TS rotation locked or at a click position is recommended.

*Supported cameras: EOS 6D Mark II (As of August 2017)

TS-E MACRO Lens Features

Canon TS-E50mm f/2.8L MACRO, Canon TS-E90mm f/2.8L MACRO, and Canon TS-E135mm f/4L MACRO have the following features.

OORange of tilt is ±8.5° for TS-E50mm f/2.8L MACRO, and ±10° for TS-E90mm f/2.8L MACRO and TS-E135mm f/4L MACRO.

OO Range of shift is ±12 mm.

OO Macro shooting at up to 0.5 times magnification when tilted or shifted is possible. OO Rotation allows the direction of the entire lens to be changed.

OO TS rotation allows the tilt operation angle to be changed in regard to shift. These features can be combined to allow a diverse range of expressive possibilities.

TS-E MACRO Lens Features

OOBefore mounting or detaching the lens, or turning the lens for rotation or TS rotation, always lock the lens in a non-tilted and non-shifted position.

For how to lock the lens in a non-tilted and non-shifted position, see p.16, p.18, and p.20.

OOIf using Digital Photo Professional to perform lens correction (lens aberration correction, Digital Lens Optimizer, etc.)*, correction may not be performed adequately depending on the amount of tilt or shift, and on the rotation or TS rotation setting.
