causing injury.

3. Always grasp the connector itself when connecting
or disconnecting the demand cable. Pulling on the
cable portion may result in damage to the cable, such
as breakage of the conductors. Power leaking from a
damaged cable may present a re or electric shock
hazard.

4. Check periodically (for instance, every 6 months to 1
year) that all mountings are securely tightened. If any of
the mountings become loose, the lens may fall, possibly
causing injury.

5. If it becomes necessary to repair this product, or to
perform any operations or adjustments not mentioned in
this operation manual, contact Canon’s representative or
the dealer who originally supplied the lens.

6. When this product is used in direct sunlight, the inside
of the unit may be heated to high temperatures. When
it is expected that the unit is exposed to elevated
temperatures, take measures against heat as appropriate
on the customer’s side.

* (NOTE)

1. Protect the lens from strong impacts of shocks. Striking
or dropping the lens could damage it.

2. Since the lens is not completely waterproof, avoid directly
exposing the lens to rain or snow. When the lens has to
be used in rain or snow, provisions should be made to
prevent the lens from getting wet.

3. Under dusty conditions, the lens should be mounted or
dismounted with a cover placed over the mount so as to
prevent dust from entering the inside.

4. Do not bring the lens from an area with a very cold
ambient temperature abruptly into a warm room, as the
lens may fog on the inside. If this happens, the lens
cannot be used until the condensation clears. Take
adequate countermeasures to ensure that condensation
does not form.

5. If the lens is to be used in adverse environments, such
as in a chemical laden atmosphere, consult with Canon’s
representative beforehand.

environment. If required, overhaul the lens.

STORAGE

CAUTION

1. Always attach the hood cap and the dust cap before
storing the lens.
Storing the lens without these caps attached may present
a re hazard due to light convergence effect.

* (NOTE)

1. If moisture enters the lens due to mist or light rain, etc.,
immediately wipe away any water with a dry cloth and
then seal the lens in a vinyl bag together with a desiccant
(as fresh as possible) to completely remove the moisture

2 PREPARATION

2-1 InitializeOperation

(OnlyModelswithaDisplay)

This lens has a built-in encoder for a position sensor of
zoom, iris and focus, and enables high-accuracy control and
advanced for virtual interface. The correct position must be
detected for these functions to operate correctly.
The Auto [ON]/Manual [OFF] setting of initialization can be
set from the information display.

Auto [ON]

The lens is automatically initialized on power-up.
(When in servo mode)

Manual [OFF]

After the power is turned on, position detection is
performed when the lens passes the specic position
(normally near the center) in the course of lens
operation.

* Default setting at factory: OFF

For the detailed setting method, refer to the “Display
OperationManual” at the end of this Operation Manual.

When putting the lens shroud back on the lens body,

align the shroud to the guide rails of the lens body, and
then push the shroud until it is stopped at the end of
the mount.
Turn the shroud mounting knobs on the bottom
clockwise.

* (NOTE)

With the lens shroud mounted on the lens, check that the shroud
mounting knobs are secured tightly at all times. If these knobs are
not perfectly tight, the lens shroud may work free from the main unit
and drop off when the camera is tilted down.

2-4 Iris Gain Adjustment

The iris gain is set to the middle of the adjusting range at
the factory. However, if the iris gain needs to be changed
for some reason, follow the steps below. These steps can
be taken by the trimmer adjustment or on the information
display. (The setting implemented last takes precedence)

* (NOTE)

For other iris adjustment such as iris ends adjustment or video level
adjustment when the extender is used, contact Canon dealer or
your Canon sales representative.

2-5 Iris Mode Setting (Option)

DIP switch (iris control select switch) was set to the “OFF” position at the factory.
See the table below to nd the relationship between the position of the switch and signals.

Iris mode

Iris control and operation depend on the following three signals

1

Enforced auto iris command signal from the camera system (IRIS ENF)

(Some camera models are not capable to provide this signal.)

2

AUTO/REMOTE iris command signal from the camera system (IRIS A/R)

3

Setting position of DIP switch inside the lens body (Refer to the table under “Trimmer Adjustment” on the previous

page.)
(“ON” position: I.LOCAL/“OFF” position: I.CAMERA However, I.LOCAL may not be usable depending on the
specications.)

The table below lists the relationship between these three signals and iris mode.
