Thank you for purchasing aCanon USM lens.
The Canon EF-S60mm f/2.8 MACRO USM lens
is amacro lens that can be used for normal
photography and close-up pictures up to 1:1,
or life-size magnification. It has been
developed for use with digital SLR cameras*
compatible with EF-S lenses.
"USM" stands for Ultrasonic Motor.
Features
1. The three-group floating system results in
sharp and clear delineation at all focusing
distances from life-size to infinity.
2. ACanon macro flash (sold separately) makes
it easy to take close-up pictures with aflash.
The inner focusing mechanism enables AF
photography while the macro flash
is
attached.
3. USM for fast, quiet focusing.
4. Manual focusing available in autofocusing
mode (ONE SHOT AF).

~ Safety Precautions
1. 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.
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 a cold 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.

Mounting and Detaching the Lens
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
electrical contacts from getting scratched.
1$ 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 0index of the dust cap as shown
in the diagram, and turn clockwise. To remove
it, reverse the order.

To shoot in autofocus mode, set the focus mode
switch to AF.
To use only manual focusing, set the focus mode
switch
to MF, and focus by turning the focusing
ring.
The focusing ring always works, regardless
of the focus mode.

Picture Taking
Normal Photography
The lens can be used as amedium-telephoto
lens equivalent to 96mm
in 35mm format for
normal photography such as snapshots and
portraits.
Closeup Photography
Close-up photos up to 1x (life-size) magnification
are possible. The minimum focusing distance of
20cm
is the distance from the subject to the film
plane. The working distance from the front of the
lens to the subject
is about 9cm.
When focusing, you can give priority to framing
or to magnification.
[Framing Priority]
While looking through the viewfinder and framing
the subject, focus with the AF or MF mode.
[Magnification Priority]
1. Set the lens' focus mode switch to MF.
2. Set the magnification.
While referring to the magnification scale on
the distance index, turn the focusing ring to
the desired magnification.
3. Focus the subject.
While look:ing through the viewfinder, move the
camera forward or back to find the point of
focus.
4. Touch up the focus.
Turn the focusing ring for fine focusing.

About Exposure
Setting the Exposure
When taking photographs using TTL
metering, no exposure compensation is
necessary to meter the light coming through
the lens.
With TTL metering, AE (autoexposure) is
possible at all focusing distances. Just set the
desired picture-taking mode, then check the
shutter speed and aperture before taking the
picture.
Magnification and Effective f-number
The aperture displayed by the camera assumes
that the focus is set to infinity. The actual aperture
(effective f-number) becomes darker (effective f-
number increases) at closer focusing distances
(magnification increases). This does not cause
exposure problems for normal picture-taking.
However, for closeup photography, you cannot
ignore the change
in the effective f-number.
When you use ahandheld exposure meter to
set the exposure, you must take into account
the exposure factor shown
in the following
table.
