1. The Image Stabilizer gives the equivalent
effect of ashutter speed four stops faster*.
2. With fluorite and UD lens elements,
outstanding image delineation
is obtained.
3. Ultrasonic motor (USM) for quick and quiet
autofocusi
ng.
4. Manual focusing is available after the subject
comes into focus
in autofocus mode (ONE
SHOT AF).
5. Atruly round aperture hole results in anicer
background blur.
6. The lens is compatible with Extender EF1 .4X II
and EF2X II.
7. Tight seal structure ensures excellent dust-
proof and drip-proof performance.
*Based on [1/focal length] second. Generally, it requires
ashutter speed [1/focal length] second or faster
to
prevent camera shake.

[& Safety Precautions
1. Do not look at the sun or abright 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.
2. 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 afire.
Handling Cautions
If the lens is taken from acold 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
acold to warm environment. Then take out the lens after it
has warmed gradually.
Do the same when taking the lens
from awarm environment into acold one.

oThe lens mount has arubber ring for enhanced
water- and dust-resistance. The rubber ring may
cause slight abrasions around the camera's lens
mount, but this will not cause any problems. If the
rubber ring becomes worn, it
is replaceable by a
Canon Service Center at cost.
•After detaching the lens, place the lens with the
rear end
up to prevent the lens surface and
electrical contacts from getting scratched.
•If the contacts get soiled, scratched, or have
fingerprints
on them, corrosion or faulty
connections can result. The camera and lens
may not operate properly.
•If the contacts get soiled or have fingerprints
on
them, clean them with asoft cloth.
•If you remove the lens, cover it with the dust
cap.
To attach it properly, align the lens mount
