Thank you for purchasing aCanon product.
The Canon EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 IS lens is
ahigh-performance high-magnification zoom
lens equipped with
an Image Stabilizer, and
has been developed for digital SLRs
compatible with EF-S lenses*.

REBEU300D DIGITAL are compatible with EF-S
lenses.
.. "IS" stands for Image Stabilizer.

Features
1. The Image Stabilizer gives the equivalent
effect of ashutter speed four stops faster*.
This function provides optimal image
stabilization depending
on shooting conditions
(such
as shooting still subjects and following
shots).
2. Aspherical and UD lens elements result in
outstanding image delineation.
3. Atruly round aperture hole results in anicer
background blur.
*Based on [1/(focal length x1.6)] second. Generally,
it requires ashutter speed [1/focallength] second or
faster to prevent camera shake (in 35mm format.
With
an EF-S lens, it would be [1/(focal length x
1.6)] second).

it Safety Precautions
• 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.
•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 acold environment into
awarm 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.
•
Do not leave the lens in excessive heat such as in
acar 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 aclass Bdigital device, pursuant
to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference
in aresidential 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
aparticular 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 radiofTV technician for
help.
This Class Bdigital apparatus complies with Canadian ICES-003.

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
index and the 0index of the dust cap as shown
in the diagram, and turn clockwise. To remove
it, reverse the order.

DHood (Sold Separately)
- ._------_._ .. _-~ _.-'
The EW-738 hood can keep unwanted light out
of the lens, and also protects 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.
u ,~) Part of the picture may be blocked if the hood is
not attached properly.
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.

._------ j
To zoom, turn the lens' zoom ring.
The minimum focusing distance differs at
different focal lengths.
18mm: 0.49 m / 1.6 ft.
50mm: 0.47 m / 1.5 ft.
135mm: 0.45 m / 1.5 ft.
Shooting magnification
18mm: 0.05x
50mm: 0.12x
135mm: 0.21x
UBe sure to finish zooming before focusing.
Changing the zoom ring after focusing can affect
the focus.

oImage Stabilizer
Set the STABILIZER switch to ON.
If you are not going to use the image
stabilizer function, set the switch to 0
FF .
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).
When you press the shutter button
halfway, the Image Stabilizer will
start operating.
Make sure the image in the viewfinder is
stable, then press the shutter button the
rest of the way down to take the picture.
The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a
blurred shot caused by asubject that moved.
The Image Stabilizer
may not be fully effective if
you
shoot from aviolently shaking vehicle or
other transportation.
The Image Stabilizer
consumes more power
than normal shooting, so fewer shots can be
taken if you use the function.
When shooting astill subject, it
compensates for
camera shake in a!! directions.
It compensates for vertical camera shake during
following shots in ahorizontal direction, and
compensates for horizontal camera shake
during following shots
in avertical direction.
Using atripod also stabilizes the image.
However, depending on the kind of tripod and
shooting conditions, sometimes it
may be better
to turn off the Image Stabilizer function.
The stabilizer is equally effective for hand-held
photography and photography with amonopod.
The image stabilizer function also operates when the
lens is used with an Extension Tube EF12 " or EF25 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.
