a Safety Precautions

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

• 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.

This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is

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 generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency

energy and, if not installed and used in accordance with the

instructions, may cause harmful interference to radio

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.

• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.

• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for

Switching the Focusing Distance Range

You can choose the focusing distance range with

a switch. By setting a suitable focusing distance

range, actual autofocusing time can be shorter.

q 3.5 m / 11.5 ft.– ∞ w 8.5 m / 27.9 ft.– ∞

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

6. Depth-of-Field Scale

The depth of field is the distance in front of and

behind the plane of focus on the subject that

appears sharp. The depth of field is indicated by

the area between the depth-of-field scale lines

below the distance scale.

The number on the scale is the F value.

The depth-of-field scale is an approximate

The infrared index corrects the focus setting

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.

(EF200mm f/2.8L II USM • EF300mm f/4L USM • EF400mm f/5.6L USM)

Some EOS cameras cannot use infrared film.See

the instructions for your EOS camera.

¡The infrared index position is based on a

wavelength of 800 nm.

¡Be sure to observe the manufacturer’s

instructions when using infrared film.

¡Use a red filter also when you take the picture.ENG-7

Adjusting the Revolving Mount

You can loosen the or ientation lock-knob on the tripod mount to allow it to rotate as needed to fit a
