Before using the Canon Interchangeable Lens, it is important to read through the safety notes and instructions provided in the user manual. The following are basic instructions on how to handle the lens:

Attaching and Detaching a Lens

• To attach the lens, align the lens mount indexes on the lens and the camera body and then turn the lens clockwise.
• To detach the lens, hold down the lens release button on the camera and turn the lens counterclockwise.

Using Autofocus (AF)

• To set the focus mode, use the focus mode switch on the lens (AF/MF), or set it on the camera ([AF/MF]).

Using Image Stabilization:

• The Canon Interchangeable Lens comes with image stabilization that corrects for camera shake. There are three image stabilization modes: MODE 1 corrects vibrations in all directions, MODE 2 corrects vibrations at right angles to the direction of panning, and MODE 3 corrects vibration only during exposure.

Attaching a Lens Hood:

• To attach a lens hood, align the hood with the edge of the lens and turn it clockwise to attach it.
