Canon’s TS-E lenses are tilt-shift lenses
designed for EOS cameras. The tilt-shift
mechanism enables photographers to control
the depth of field and the area photographed
and to correct image distortion, making it
possible to take sophisticated pictures that
cannot be shot using a conventional lens.
●To ensure that you make the most of the TS-E lens
functionality, it is recommended that you use it with
an EOS camera with 100% viewfinder visibility
(EOS-1, EOS-1D or EOS-1Ds series) and use the
laser matte with grid focusing screen Ec-D and a
tripod.
●On EOS cameras with a built-in flash, some partial
restrictions may apply to the shift and rotation
functions.
●On EOS cameras equipped with a grip for vertical
shooting, some partial restrictions may apply to the
shift and rotation functions.
Features
1. The lens can be tilted up to ±8° and shifted up
to ±11mm.
2. The tilt and shift functions can be used singly
or in combination.
3. The lens can be rotated to change the tilt or
shift direction.
Conventions used in this instruction
Warning to prevent lens or camera malfunction
or damage.
Supplementary notes on using the lens and
taking pictures.
Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.

aSafety Precautions
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
communications.
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
help.
This Class B digital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.
aSafety 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 fire.
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, 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.

1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens
Focus a TS-E lens by turning the focusing ring.
(Shots cannot be taken using the auto focus.)
See your camera’s instructions for details on
mounting and detaching the lens.
2. Focusing
●When mounting or detaching the lens, always
ensure that the tilt and shift scales are set to the
“0” position.
●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
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 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, and turn
clockwise. To remove it, reverse the order.
●After using tilt or shift, readjust the focus.
●The distance scale is only valid when the tilt
scale is set to the “0” position.

3. Tilt Function
Tilting inclines the lens relative to the image plane. When the tilt scale is set to the “0” position, the
focusing and imaging planes are parallel. However, tilting puts the focusing plane at an angle to the
imaging plane.
●Example 1 ●Example 2
To shoot so that all of an extensive subject is in focus, you must normally use a small aperture to
obtain a large depth of field. But tilting allows you to keep all of the subject in focus even when there
is insufficient depth of field (Example 1). Or, by tilting in the opposite direction, you can focus on a
specific part of the subject (Example 2).

Turn the tilt lock knob in the
direction of the arrow to lock
the amount of tilt for the
shot.
Loosen the tilt lock knob by
turning it in the direction of
the arrow.
Turn the tilt knob to adjust
the amount of tilt. Focus the
shot by turning the focusing
ring.
Using Tilt
●When you tilt the lens, sharp portions of the tilt mechanism are exposed and care should be taken to avoid
touching these portions.
●If you use the tilt and shift functions on the TS-E24mm f/3.5L at the same time, only use them within the
area of the light-gray tilt scale settings. Tilting the lens to other settings may cause vignetting.
However, if the tilt function is used alone, none of the tilt scale settings cause vignetting.

4. Shift Function
Shifting moves the optical axis of the lens in parallel off the center of the imaging plane.
Shift can be used to good effect in the situations shown below.
●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.

Using Shift
Turn the shift lock knob in
the direction of the arrow to
lock the amount of shift for
the shot.
Loosen the shift lock knob
by turning it in the direction
of the arrow.
Turn the shift knob to adjust
the amount of shift. Focus
the shot by turning the
focusing ring.
●When you shift the lens, sharp portions of the shift mechanism are exposed and care should be taken to
avoid touching these portions.
●If you use the tilt and shift functions on the TS-E24mm f/3.5L at the same time, only use them within the
area of the light-gray shift scale settings. Shifting the lens to other settings may cause vignetting.
With large amounts of shift, the amounts of peripheral light at the top and bottom or left and right sides of the
screen may differ, so shooting with a small aperture is recommended.
