ENG-1
Dedicated to EOS cameras, the Canon EF70-
200mm f/2.8L IS II USM lens is a high-
performance telephoto zoom lens equipped
with an Image Stabilizer.
•“IS” stands for Image Stabilizer.
•“USM” stands for Ultrasonic Motor.
Features
1. The Image Stabilizer gives the equivalent
effect of a shutter speed four stops faster*.
2. With fluorite and UD lens elements,
outstanding image delineation is obtained.
3. Ultrasonic motor (USM) for quick and quiet
autofocusing.
4. Manual focusing is available after the subject
comes into focus in autofocus mode (ONE
SHOT AF).
5. A truly round aperture hole results in a nicer
background blur.
6. The lens is compatible with Extender EF1.4X ll
and EF2X ll.
7. Tight seal structure ensures excellent dust-
proof and drip-proof performance.
*Based on [1/focal length] second. Generally, it requires
a shutter speed [1/focal length] second or faster to
prevent camera shake.
Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.

aSafety Precautions
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.
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.

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.

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.
•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
K index of the dust cap as shown
in the diagram, and turn clockwise. To remove it,
reverse the order.
1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens
The lens mount has a rubber 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.

You can set the focusing distance range to
1.2 m/3.9 ft. to infinity or 2.5 m/8.2 ft. to infinity.
By setting the suitable focusing distance range,
the actual autofocusing time can be shorter.
3. Switching the Focusing
Distance Range
2. Setting the Focus
Mode
To shoot in autofocus (AF) mode, set the focus
mode switch to AF.
To use only manual focusing (MF), set the focus
mode switch to MF, and focus by turning the
focusing ring. The focusing ring always works,
regardless of the focus mode.
After autofocusing in ONE SHOT AF mode, focus
manually by pressing the shutter button halfway
and turning the focusing ring. (Full-time manual
focus)

5. Hood
Attaching
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 ET-87 hood can keep unwanted light out of the lens, and also protects the front of the lens from
rain, snow, and dust.
Removing
To remove the hood, hold down the button on the
side and turn the hood in the direction of the
arrow until the position mark on the hood aligns
with the red dot.
The hood can be reverse-mounted on the lens
for storage.
•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.

•MODE 2: 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 press the shutter
button halfway, the Image
