Warning

• Set the camera’s power switch to OFF when attaching or detaching the lens.

• Contacts that are scratched, soiled, or have fingerprints on them may result in faulty connections or corrosion, which may lead to malfunctions. If the contacts get soiled, clean them with a soft cloth.
• The lens mount has a rubber ring to improve dust-resistance and water-resistance performance. This rubber ring may cause friction marks to appear around the camera’s lens mount, although this will have no effect on usage.

1. Turn the zoom ring to the widest position (24 mm).
2. Slide the zoom ring lock lever in the direction indicated by the arrow.
   To release the zoom ring, slide the zoom ring lock lever in the direction opposite to the arrow.
   The zoom ring cannot be fixed in place at any position other than the widest position.

Control Ring

The click action of the control ring allows you to have a sense of how much it is being turned. Please refer to the camera’s instructions for details on how to use the control ring.

• There are cases in which the sound of control ring operations may be recorded when shooting movies.
• The clicking sensation of the control ring can be removed by the Canon Service Center. (chargeable)

This function provides image stabilization appropriate for shooting conditions (such as shooting still subjects and panning shots).

Set the image stabilizer switch to ON when you want to use the Image Stabilizer.
Set the image stabilizer switch to OFF when you are not going to use the Image Stabilizer.

• 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 operates for about two seconds after turning off the camera. Do not detach the lens during that time. This may cause the lens to malfunction.
• When using a tripod, it is recommended that you set the image stabilizer switch to 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.
• When shooting a still subject, it compensates for camera shake in all directions.
• 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.

The Image Stabilizer for this lens is suited to handheld shots in the following conditions.

• In semi-darkened areas such as indoors or outdoors at night.
• In locations where a flash cannot be used, such as art museums and theater stages.
• In situations where your footing is uncertain.

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 you hear a click.

Detaching the Hood
Keep your finger pressed down on the button located on the side of the hood, and then turn the hood in the direction of the arrow until the attachment position mark on the hood is aligned with the red dot on the front of the lens to detach it. 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.
• Grasp and turn the base of the hood when attaching and detaching it. There are cases in which it may become deformed if the hood is turned with it grasped near to the rim.

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 PL-C B.
