General Precautions

Handling Precautions

• 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.
• Please also read any lens related handling precautions listed in your camera's instruction manual.

Shooting Precautions

- To ensure that you use the lens' functions effectively, it is recommended that you shoot in the following conditions.

• Use an EOS camera with about 100% viewfinder visibility
• Use Live View (with onscreen grid)
• Use an external monitor
• Use a tripod
• Use a matte with grid focusing screen

• Use a stand-alone exposure meter

• Since only a hood is not very effective in cutting off the harmful rays entering the lens, also using a piece of cardboard is recommended.

• If using Digital Photo Professional to perform lens correction (lens aberration correction, Digital Lens Optimizer, etc.)*, shooting with rotation or TS rotation locked or at a click position is recommended.

• By tilting the lens, the lens' optical axis is tilted with regard to the imaging plane, allowing the focusing plane to be tilted.
• By shifting the lens, the lens' optical axis is moved in parallel with regard to the image plane, allowing the focusing plane to be moved in parallel.

• Tilting as shown has the effect of broadening the depth of field. This allows the entire field, from immediately in front to far in the background, to be in focus.
• Tilting as shown has the effect of narrowing the depth of field. Only flowers immediately in front are in focus, with the rest of the subject being blurred.

ENG-12

Shift Effect

■Shooting architecture ■Shooting a mirror

- If you photograph a subject such as a building with a normal lens, the top of the building tapers away. But by placing the camera parallel to the building and shifting the lens, you can correct this tapering effect.

- When you are shooting a reflective subject, you can move the camera to a position where the camera does not appear in the shot and then use shift to take the picture. This lets you keep the camera out of the shot without having to change the shot composition.

ENG-13

1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens

See your camera's instructions for details on mounting and detaching the lens.

Technical line drawing of a mechanical device with concentric rings and mounting brackets (no text or symbols)

Technical line drawing of a camera lens with no visible text or symbols

Before mounting or detaching the lens, always lock the lens in a non-tilted and non-shifted position.
● After detaching the lens, place the lens with the rear end up to prevent the lens surface and contacts from getting scratched.
- 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.
- Attach the lens cap and dust cap when disconnecting the lens. When attaching the dust cap, align the lens mount index with the O index of the dust cap and turn in a clockwise direction as shown in the illustration. Follow the reverse procedure to detach it.

2. Focusing

Technical line drawing of a camera lens with directional arrows indicating motion (no text or symbols)

Using Rotation

Before turning the lens for rotation, always lock the lens in a non-tilted and non-shifted position.
Note that your fingers may contact the shift lock knob when turning the lens for rotation.
- For EOS cameras with built-in flash, the lens may contact the camera while you operate the rotation function.

• In order to prevent shifts in position while shooting, shooting with rotation locked or at a click position is recommended.
• If using Digital Photo Professional to perform lens correction (lens aberration correction, Digital Lens Optimizer, etc.)*, shooting with rotation locked or at a click position is recommended so as to reduce the amount of correction error.

*Supported cameras: EOS 6D Mark II (As of August 2017)

6. Using TS Rotation

Using TS Rotation

Before turning the lens for TS rotation, always lock the lens in a non-tilted and non-shifted position.
- When tilt and shift are used together in right-angled operation directions, or only either of tilt or shift is used, vignetting by this lens will not occur.
- When tilt and shift are used together in any operation directions other than right-angled, vignetting may occur in the range indicated in gray as shown in the figure below. For example, when the tilt and shift operation directions are parallel, and tilt and shift are each at their maximum setting. When using TS rotation in conditions where vignetting may occur, it is recommended to shoot while checking results after shooting an image.

*Supported cameras: EOS 6D Mark II (As of August 2017)

ENG-24

7. TS-E MACRO Lens Exposure Setting

Since the optical axis shifts when the lens is tilted or shifted, the exposure value may deviate largely with automatic exposure during viewfinder shooting. Either of the following methods is recommended for obtaining an appropriate exposure setting.

■Exposure setting by Live View shooting

Shoot using a Live View shooting exposure value.

Regardless of tilt or shift, you can shoot with automatic exposure, including for macro shots.

■Exposure setting by stand-alone exposure meter

Shoot using manual exposure using the exposure value obtained from a stand-alone exposure meter as a guide.

Macro shooting requires an exposure compensation that is according to the magnification. Shoot using the exposure value obtained from the stand-alone exposure meter with an exposure factor in the table on the next page added.

- With either exposure setting method, you may not be able to obtain an appropriate exposure depending on shooting conditions. It is recommended that you try shooting after changing the exposure as much as possible, or while checking results after shooting an image.

TS-E MACRO Lens Exposure Setting

- Depending on the camera model* and settings, you may not obtain standard exposure or you may obtain uneven exposure.

This phenomenon may improve by decreasing the shutter speed.

It is recommended that you try shooting while checking results after shooting an image.

* • The firmware in the below cameras already corrects this phenomenon.

EOS 6D Mark II

- Upgrading the firmware in the below cameras will correct this phenomenon.

EOS 5D Mark IV, EOS 5D Mark III, EOS 5DS, EOS 5DS R, EOS-1D X Mark II, EOS-1D X, EOS 6D

8. Depth-of-Field Scale

0.7 3 5 12 ft 1 3 ∞ m 32 16 8 8 16 32 Distance scale 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 numbers on the scale are aperture settings.

The depth-of-field scale is only valid when the lens is not tilted or shifted.

- The depth-of-field scale is an approximate indicator.

0.7 3 5 12 ft 1 3 m 32 16 8 8 16 32 Distance scale Distance index Infinity compensation mark

Illustration shows TS-E50mm f/2.8L MACRO.

To compensate for shifting of the infinity focus point that results from changes in temperature, there is a margin at the infinity ( ) position. The infinity position at normal temperature is the point at which the vertical line of the distance scale L mark is aligned with the distance index.

For accurate manual focusing of subjects at infinity, look through the viewfinder or look at the magnified image on the LCD screen while turning the focusing ring.

10. Hood

The ES-84 or ET-88 hood cuts out unwanted light and protects the front of the lens from rain, snow, and dust.

- Attaching To attach the hood, align the hood's red attachment position mark with the red dot on the front of the lens, then turn the hood as shown by the arrow until it clicks.

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.

- Since only a hood is not very effective in cutting off the harmful rays entering the lens, also using a piece of cardboard is recommended.

ENG-29

11. Shift Knob Cap

Shifting will be easier if the supplied shift knob cap is mounted (p.19).

However, note that for EOS cameras with a built-in flash, the cap may come in contact with the camera when mounting/detaching the lens, shifting the lens, or turning the lens for rotation.

15. TS-E Tripod Adapter (sold separately)

With some camera models, the tilt, shift and rotation functions cannot be used when the camera is mounted directly on a tripod. When this happens, fit the optional TS-E tripod adapter into the tripod mount socket on the camera before mounting the camera on the tripod.
