Instructions  
Handling Cautions  
Safety Precautions  
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 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.  
Do not leave the lens in excessive heat such as in a car  
in direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause the  
lens to malfunction.  
Conventions used in this instruction  
arning to prevent lens or camera malfunction  
or damage.

Shooting Precautions  
The EF-S18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM utilizes a stepping motor that drives the focus lens. The motor  
also controls the focus lens during zooming.  
1. When the camera is OFF  
The motor does not operate while the camera is OFF or when the camera is OFF due to the use of the auto power  
off function. Therefore, users must be aware of the following points.  
Manual focus adjustments are not possible.  
During zooming, delayed focus will occur.  
2. When the lens is in sleep mode  
If not operated for a certain period of time, this lens will enter sleep mode in order to save power. Sleep mode  
differs from when the camera is OFF due to the use of the auto poer off function. In this state, the motor will not  
operate even if the camera is ON. Therefore, users must bare othe following points.  
Manual focus adjustments are not possible.  
During zooming, delayed focus will occur.  
To exit sleep mode, press the shutter button halfwa
3. During initial reset  
When the camera is ON or when the camera is turned ON by pressing the shutter button halfway down when the  
camera is OFF due to the use of the auto power off function*1, the lens performs an initial reset of the focus lens.  
Although the image in the viewfinder will appear out of focus during the initial reset, this does not mean that the  
lens has malfunctioned.  
Although the shutter can be released during the initial reset, users must wait approximately 1 second*2 after the  
initial reset has completed before shooting.  
*1: Applicable to the following EF-S lens compatible EOS cameras:

shooin autofocus (AF) mode, set the focus  
ode switch to AF.  
To use only manual focusing (MF), set the focus  
mode switch to MF, and focus by turning the  
focusing ring.  
After detaching the lens, place the lens with  
the rear end up to prevent the lens surface an
contacts from getting scratched.  
If the contacts get soiled, scratched, or ave  
fingerprints on them, corrosion or faulty  
connections can result. The camera and lens  
may not operate properly.  
After autofocusing in ONE SHOT AF mode, focus  
manually by pressing the shutter button halfway  
and turning the focusing ring. (Full-time manual  
focus)  
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 as shown  
in the diagram, and turn clockwise. To remove it,  
reverse the order.  
Quickly rotating the focusing ring may result in  
delayed focus.  
Manual focus adjustments are not possible when  
the camera is OFF.

Zooming  
Hood (sold separately)

The EW-63C hood cuts out unwanted light and  
protecthe front of the lens from rain, snow,  
dust
Tattach the hood, align the hood’s attachment  
position mark with the red dot on the front of the  
lens, then turn the hood as shown by the arrow  
until the lens’ red dot is aligned with the hood’s  
stop position mark.  
To zoom, turn the lens’ zoom ring.  
Be sure to finish zooming before focusing.  
Zooming after focusing can affect the focus.  
Blurring may temporarily occur if the zom ring
quickly rotated.  
Zooming when the camera is OFF will result n  
delayed focus.  
Zooming during still image exposure will result in  
delayed focus. This causes any streaks of light  
that are captured during exposure to be blurred.  
The hood can be reverse-mounted on the lens  
for storage.  
If the hood is not attached properly, vignetting  
(darkening of the perimeter of the picture) may  
occur.  
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.  
ENG-7  
 
Image Stabilizer  
You can use the image stabilizer in AF or MF  
mode.  
5
The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a  
blurred shot caused by a subject that moved.  
The Image Stabilizer may not be fully effective  
if you shoot from a violently shaking vehicle or  
other transportation.  
The Image Stabilizer consumes more power  
than normal shooting, so fewer shots can be  
taken if you use the function.  
This function provides optimal image stabilization  
depending on shooting conditions (such as  
shooting still subjects and following shots).  
Wen shooting a still subject, it compensates for  
caera shake in all directions.  
It compensates for vertical camera shake during  
following shots in a horizontal direction, and  
compensates for horizontal camera shake during  
following shots in a vertical direction.  
When you use a tripod, the Image Stabilizer  
should be turned off to save battery power.  
Even with a monopod, the Image Stabilizer will  
be as effective as during hand-held shooting.  
However, depending on the shooting environment,  
the Image Stabilizer effect may be less effective.  
The image stabilizer function also operates when the  
lens is used with an Extension Tube EF12 II or EF25 II.  
If you set the camera’s Custom Function to  
change the assigned button to operate the AF,  
the Image Stabilizer will operate when you press  
the newly assigned AF button.  
1
Set the STABILIZER switch to ON.  
If you are not going to use the image stabilizer  
function, set the switch to OFF.  
2
When you press the shutter button halfway,  
the Image Stabilizer will start operating.  
Make sure the image in the viewfinder is stable,  
then press the shutter button the rest of the way  
down to take the picture.
