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.
●
Do not look directly at the sun or other strong light sources
through a lens. This may result in loss of sight.
●
Do not leave a lens in the sun without the lens cap attached. The
lens may concentrate entering sunlight and cause a malfunction or fire.
Caution

ENG-3
General Precautions
Handling Precautions
●
Do not leave the product in excessive heat such as in a car in direct
sunlight. High temperatures can cause the product to malfunction.
●
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.
●
The lens interior may appear to waver, but this does not indicate a
defect or failure, and will not cause any problems in use.
●
In order to optimize aperture control, there are occasions in which the
aperture blades will move during zooming, even when the aperture
value is set for aperture-priority AE or manual exposure, etc.
●
Please also read any lens related handling precautions listed in your
camera’s instruction manual.

2. Focusing/control ring
The focusing/control ring can be used as either a focusing ring or a
control ring.
Focusing/control ring
Switching between the focusing ring and control ring is performed on
the camera.
This can only be used as a focusing ring on cameras that do not
support switch settings*.
Please refer to the camera’s instructions for details.
* EOS R, RP, Ra, R5, R6
Use as a Focusing Ring
Set the focus mode (AF/MF) on the camera.
To shoot in autofocus (AF) mode, set the camera’s focus mode to AF.
To use only manual focusing (MF), set the camera’s focus mode to
MF, and focus by turning the focusing ring (focusing/control ring).
ENG-8
Focusing/control ring
Use as a Control Ring
Set the control ring function using the camera’s menu. The control ring
can be assigned the functions that are commonly used with cameras,
such as shutter speed and aperture settings.
Please refer to the camera’s instructions for details on how to use the
control ring.
●The lens does not have a focus mode switch or a focusing/control
selector switch.
● Delayed focus may occur if the focusing ring (focusing/control ring) is
quickly turned.
●The lens’ focusing ring (focusing/control ring) is electronic.
●The lens supports both lens electronic MF and electronic full-time MF.
● When movie recording, the AF speed will be slower than the still photo
shooting mode. It is possible to adjust the AF speed on the camera by
setting Movie Servo AF to [Enable].
Please refer to the camera’s instructions for details.

3. Zooming
Zoom ring Zoom position index
①
②
This lens provides motorized zooming (Power Zoom) when the zoom
ring is turned. Turning the zoom ring towards the [W] side ① moves
the lens towards the wide-angle position, while turning it towards the [T]
side ② moves the lens towards the telephoto position.
The zoom speed changes in two stages depending on the angle you turn
the zoom ring. The more you turn it, the faster the zoom speed becomes.
When you release the zoom ring, it returns to its original position and
zooming stops.
● Be sure to finish zooming before focusing. Zooming after focusing can
affect the focus.
●Blurring may temporarily occur if zooming is done at high zoom speed.
●When zooming during video shooting, there are cases in which the
operational sound of the lens may be recorded. In such cases, please
zoom at a slower zoom speed.

4. Image Stabilizer
This function provides image stabilization appropriate for shooting
conditions (such as shooting still subjects and panning shots).
The Image Stabilizer is turned ON and OFF with the camera settings.
Please refer to the camera’s instructions for details.
● 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.
● When using a tripod, it is recommended that the image stabilizer is set
at OFF.
● Even with a monopod, the Image Stabilizer will be as effective as
during hand-held shooting. However, depending on the shooting
conditions, there are cases in which the Image Stabilizer effect may be
less effective.
●The Image Stabilizer will work in combination with cameras with
in-body Image Stabilizer.
ENG-12
Image Stabilizer
The Image Stabilizer for this lens is suited to hand-held shots in the
following conditions.
● In semi-darkened areas such as indoors or outdoors at night.
● In locations where the flash cannot be used, such as art museums
and theater stages.
● In situations where your footing is uncertain.
● In situations where fast shutter speed settings cannot be used.
● Panning shots of vehicles, trains, etc.
It compensates for vertical camera shake during panning shots in a
horizontal direction, and compensates for horizontal camera shake
during panning shots in a vertical direction.

5. Hood (Sold separately)
The custom lens hood reduces unwanted light that causes flare and
ghosting and protects the front of the lens from rain, snow, and dust.
Attaching the Hood
Align the red attachment position mark on the hood with the red dot
on the front of the lens, and then turn the hood in the direction of the
arrow until the red dot on the lens is aligned with the stop position
mark on the hood and the hood is firmly attached.

end of the lens.
Add 24.2 mm/0.95 in. when including the lens cap and dust cap.
● The maximum diameter, length and weight listed are for the lens
itself only.

● There are cases in which using the zoom function during continuous
shooting may result in conspicuous image distortion.
● All data listed is measured according to Canon standards.
● Product specifications and appearance are subject to change without
notice.
● When the aperture is changed from the maximum aperture by an
amount equivalent to one click only, the display of the aperture
value may not change or may change by two clicks in some cases.
This phenomenon is due to restrictions related to the display of the
aperture values, but the actual exposure control is being performed
properly.
