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 re.
Conventions used in this instruction
Warning to prevent lens or camera malfunction
or damage.
Supplementary notes on using the lens and
taking pictures.
Handling Cautions
 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, rst 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.
Usage Precautions
 When using this lens with an EOS REBEL T4i/650D
camera, please be sure to update the camera’s
rmware to version 1.0.4 or later.
 If the EOS REBEL T4i/650D rmware is an earlier
version than 1.0.4, there is a slight chance that the
camera will stop operating. If this occurs, please remove
the battery temporarily and insert it again for correct
camera operation.
 For information on rmware updates, please check the
Canon website.

Shooting Precautions
The EF-S10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM utilizes a stepping motor that drives the focus lens. The motor
also controls the focus lens during zooming.
1. When the camera is OFF
The motor does not operate while the camera is OFF or when the camera is OFF due to the use of the auto power
off function. Therefore, users must be aware of the following points.
 Manual focus adjustments are not possible.
 During zooming, delayed focus will occur.
2. When the lens is in sleep mode
If not operated for a certain period of time, this lens will enter sleep mode in order to save power. Sleep mode
differs from when the camera is OFF due to the use of the auto power off function. In this state, the motor will not
operate even if the camera is ON. Therefore, users must be aware of the following points.
 Manual focus adjustments are not possible.
 During zooming, delayed focus will occur.
 To exit sleep mode, press the shutter button halfway.
3. During initial reset
When the camera is ON or when the camera is turned ON by pressing the shutter button halfway down when the
camera is OFF due to the use of the auto power off function*1, the lens performs an initial reset of the focus lens.
 Although the image in the viewnder will appear out of focus during the initial reset, this does not mean that the
lens has malfunctioned.
 Although the shutter can be released during the initial reset, users must wait approximately 1 second*2 after the
initial reset has completed before shooting.
*1: Applicable to the following EF-S lens compatible EOS cameras:
EOS 7D, EOS 60D, EOS 60Da, EOS 50D, EOS 40D, EOS 30D, EOS 20D, EOS 20Da, EOS REBEL T3i/600D, EOS
REBEL T2i/550D, EOS REBEL T1i/500D, EOS REBEL XSi/450D, EOS REBEL T3/1100D, EOS REBEL XS/1000D, EOS
DIGITAL REBEL XTi/400D DIGITAL, EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT/350D DIGITAL, EOS DIGITAL REBEL/300D DIGITAL
*2: The initial reset time varies depending on camera being used.

See your camera’s instructions for details on
mounting and detaching the lens.
 After detaching the lens, place the lens with
the rear end up to prevent the lens surface and
contacts from getting scratched.
 If the contacts get soiled, scratched, or have
ngerprints on them, corrosion or faulty
connections can result. The camera and lens
may not operate properly.
 If the contacts get soiled or have ngerprints on
them, clean them with a soft cloth.
 If you remove the lens, cover it with the dust
cap. To attach it properly, align the lens mount
index and the  index of the dust cap as shown

Zooming
3
To zoom, turn the lens’ zoom ring.
 Be sure to nish zooming before focusing.
Zooming after focusing can affect the focus.
 Blurring may temporarily occur if the zoom ring is
quickly rotated.
 Zooming when the camera is OFF will result in
delayed focus.
 Zooming during still image exposure will result in
delayed focus. This causes any streaks of light
that are captured during exposure to be blurred.
The EW-73C hood cuts out unwanted light and
protects the front of the lens from rain, snow,
and dust.
To attach the hood, align the hood’s attachment
position mark with the red dot on the front of the
lens, then turn the hood as shown by the arrow
until the lens’ red dot is aligned with the hood’s
stop position mark.
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.
 When attaching or detaching the hood, grasp the
base of the hood to turn it. To prevent deformation,
do not grasp the rim of the hood to turn it.

You can use the image stabilizer in AF or MF
mode.
This function provides optimal image stabilization
depending on shooting conditions (such as
shooting still subjects and following shots).
1 Set the STABILIZER switch to ON.
 If you are not going to use the image stabilizer
function, set the switch to OFF.
2 When you press the shutter button halfway,
the Image Stabilizer will start operating.
 Make sure the image in the viewnder is stable,
then press the shutter button the rest of the way
down to take the picture.
Image Stabilizer

 When shooting a still subject, it compensates for
camera shake in all directions.
 It compensates for vertical camera shake during
following shots in a horizontal direction, and
compensates for horizontal camera shake during
following shots in a vertical direction.
 When you use a tripod, the Image Stabilizer
should be turned off to save battery power.
 Even with a monopod, the Image Stabilizer will
be as effective as during hand-held shooting.
However, depending on the shooting environment,
the Image Stabilizer effect may be less effective.
 The image stabilizer function also operates when
the lens is used with an Extension Tube EF12 II.
 If you set the camera’s Custom Function to
change the assigned button to operate the AF,
the Image Stabilizer will operate when you press
the newly assigned AF button.
 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 consumes more power
than normal shooting, resulting in fewer shots
and a shorter movie shooting time.
