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 stop  
operation of the equipment.  
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  
generes, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy and, if not  
alled and used in accordance with the instructions, may cause  
rmful 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.  
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.  
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.  
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.  
Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for help.  
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.  
a Precautions for using the lens with the  
EOS-1N RS

1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens  
See your camera’s instructions for details on  
mounting and detaching the lens.  
The lens mount has a rubber ring for enhanced  
water- and dust-resistance. The rubber ring may  
cause slight abrasions around the camera's lens  
mount, but this will not cause any problems. If the  
rubber ring becomes worn, it is replaceable by a  
Canon Service Center at cost.  
• After detaching the lens, place the lens with the  
rear end up to prevent the lens surface and  
electrical contacts from getting scratched.  
• If the contacts get soiled, scratched, or have  
fingerprints on them, corrosion or faulty  
connections can result. The camera and lens may  
not operate properly.  
• 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 K index of the dust cap as shown in the  
diagram, and turn clockwise. To remove it, reverse  
the order.  
ENG-4  
 
2. Setting the Focus Mode  
3. Switching the Focusing  
Distance Range  
To shoot in autofocus (AF) mode, set the focus  
mode switch to AF.  
To use only manual focusing (MF), set the focu
mode switch to MF, and focus by turning the  
focusing ring. The focusing ring always works,  
regardless of the focus mode.  
You an set the focusing distance range to  
m/2.3 ft. to infinity or 2.5 m/8.2 ft. to infinity.  
By setting the suitable focusing distance range,  
the actual autofocusing time can be shorter.  
If you autofocus outside the set focusing distance  
range, the lens may stop focusing at the start of  
the focusing range; however, this is not a  
malfunction. Press the shutter release button  
halfway again.  
After autofocusing in ONE SHOT AF mode, focus  
manually by pressing the shutter button halfway  
and turning the focusing ring. (Full-time manual  
focus)  
ENG-5  
 
4. Zooming  
5. Adjusting Zooming Resistance  
Move the zoom ring forward or backward to  
zoom.  
You can adjust the zooming “touch” (resistance)  
as needed by holding the focusing ring in place  
nd turning the adjustment ring.  
• Be sure to finish zooming before focusing.  
Zooming after focusing can affect the focus.  
To prevent unintended zooming when not  
shooting, be careful not to set the zooming touch  
too loose.  
Turn the adjustment ring towards the word  
SMOOTH to reduce the zooming touch, or towards  
TIGHT to increase it. To lock the zoom ring in  
place, turn the adjustment ring towards TIGHT until  
it stops.

7. Tips on Using the Image Stabilizer  
The image stabilizer in this lens is effective for hand-held shots under the following conditions.  
MODE 1  
MODE 2  
• In semi-darkened areas such as indoors or  
outdoors at night.  
• When panning subjects in motion.  
• In locations where flash photography is  
prohibited, such as art museums and theater  
stages.  
• In situations where your footing is uncertain.  
• In situations where fast shutter settings cannot  
be used.  
ENG-8  
 
Tips on Using the Image Stabilizer  
• The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a  
blurred shot caused by a subject that moved.  
• When you use a tripod, the Image Stabilizer  
should be turned off to save battery power.  
• The stabilizer is equally effective for hand-held  
photography and photography with a monopod.  
• The image stabilizer function also operates when  
the lens is used with an Extension Tube EF12 ll or  
EF25 ll.  
• Pictures may look distorted after being taken  
depending on the camera, but this doesn't affect  
hooting.  
Set the STABILIZER switch to  
when you are  
taking pictures using the Bulb setting (long  
exposures). If the STABILIZER switch is set to  
the image stabilizer function may introduce errors.  
• The Image Stabilizer might not be fully effective in  
the following cases:  
You shoot while riding on a bumpy road.  
You move the camera dramatically for a panning  
shot in Mode 1.  
You shoot using techniques other than following  
shots in Mode 2.  
,
• 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.  
• The Image Stabilizer consumes more power than  
normal shooting, so fewer shots can be taken if  
you use the function.  
• The image stabilizer operates for about two  
seconds even when your finger is off the shutter  
button. Do not remove the lens while the stabilizer  
is in operation. This will cause a malfunction.  
• With the EOS-1V/HS, 3, ELAN 7E/ELAN 7/30/33,  
ELAN 7NE/ELAN 7N/30V/33V, ELAN II/ELAN  
IIE/50/50E, REBEL 2000/300, IX, and D30, the  
Image Stabilizer will not work during self-timer  
operation.

8. Infinity Compensation Mark 9. Infrared Index  
Infinity Compensation Mark  
The infrared index corrects the focus setting  
Distance index  
when using monochrome infrared film. Focus on  
the subject manually, then adjust the distance  
setting by moving the focusing ring to the  
corresponding infrared index mark.  
e intermediate markers between 300 and 100  
are 200mm and 135mm, and the marker  
between 100 and 50 is 70mm.  
To compensate for shifting of the infinity focus  
point that results from changes in temperature.  
The infinity position at normal temperature is the  
point at which the vertical line of the L mark is  
aligned with the distance indicator on the  
distance scale.  
Some EOS cameras cannot use infrared film. See  
the instructions for your EOS camera.  
For accurate manual focusing on subjects at infinity  
distance, look through the viewfinder while rotating  
the focusing ring.  
• The infrared index position is based on a  
wavelength of 800 nm.  
• The compensation amount differs depending on  
the focal length. Use the indicated focal length as  
a guide when setting the compensation amount.  
• Be sure to observe the manufacturer’s  
instructions when using infrared film.  
• Use a red filter when you take the picture.  
ENG-10  
 
10. Using the Tripod Mount  
Adjusting the Revolving Mount  
You can loosen the orientation lock-knob on the tripod mount to allow it to rotate as needed to fit a  
particular camera model for switching between vertical and horizontal positions.  
Detaching  
Use the following procedures to remove and attach the tripod mount.  
Turn the locking knob  
With the collar open,  
remove the tripod mount.  
To install, while pulling the  
locking knob, bring the collar  
to the original position, and

11. Hood  
12. Filters (Sold Separately)  
You can attach filters to the filter mounting thread  
on the front of the lens.  
• Only one filter may be attached.  
• If you need a polarizing filter, use the Canon  
Circular Polarizing Filter (77mm).  
To adjust the polarizing filter, first remove the lens  
hood.  
The EW-83G hood can keep unwanted light out  
of the lens, and also protects the lens from rain,  
snow, and dust.  
To attach the hood, align the hood’s attachment  
position mark with the red dot on the front of th
lens, then turn the hood as shown by the arow  
until the lens' red dot is aligned with the hood's  
stop position mark.  
The hood can be reverse-mounted on the lens  
for storage.  
• Part of the picture may be blocked if the hood is  
not attached properly.  
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.
