ENG-1
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 shoot in the
following conditions.
• Use 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
• Use Live View
• Use a tripod
●On EOS cameras with a built-in flash, some partial
restrictions may apply to the shift and rotation
functions.
Features
1. Aspherical and UD lens elements result in
outstanding image delineation.
2. SWC (Subwavelength Structure Coating)
dramatically reduces ghosting and flare
caused by light entering at an acute angle.
3. The lens can be tilted up to ±6.5° (for TS-
E17mm f/4L) or ±8.5° (for TS-E24mm f/3.5L
II), and shifted up to ±12mm.
4. The tilt and shift functions can be used singly
or in combination. The tilt and shift can switch
from right angle to parallel using the TS
rotation feature.
5. The lens can be rotated to change the tilt or
shift direction.
6. A truly round aperture hole results in a nicer
background blur.
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.
● To mount/detach the lens, always move the tilt and
shift scales to
“0” .Fingers may get caught, or the
camera may be damaged.
● When you tilt or shift the lens, sharp portions of the
tilt or shift mechanism are exposed and care should
be taken to avoid touching these portions.
● Do not operate the shift function while operating the
rotation function. You may be injured by having your
fingers caught.
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.

aSafety Precautions
Countermeasures for harmful rays
The TS-E17mm f/4L has a wide angle of view, and the
lens protrudes from the front frame, so it can be
affected by harmful rays. To prevent flare and ghosting,
cutting off the harmful rays entering the lens with a piece
of cardboard is recommended.
Cutting off harmful rays is also recommended for TS-
E24mm f/3.5L II, by using both the hood and the method
used for TS-E17mm f/4L.
Conventions used in this instruction
Warning to prevent lens or camera malfunction
or damage.
Supplementary notes on using the lens and
taking pictures.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation is

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.

About the Shift Knob Cap
Shifting will be easier if the supplied shift knob cap is mounted (p.4).
However, for EOS cameras with built-in flash, the cap will come in contact with the camera during
the lens’ mounting/detaching, or during shift/rotation operation. The shift knob cap is recommended
for use with EOS-1, EOS-1D, EOS-1Ds, and EOS 5D series.
The screw (length 2.2mm) originally in the shift knob cannot be used to
keep the shift knob cap in place. Always use the supplied screw.
Remove the shift knob
screw.
Mount the cap by squeezing it into
the shift knob, and then fix it using
the supplied screw.
To remove the cap, remove the
screw and pull out the cap.

Mounting/Removing the Lens Cap (TS-E17mm f/4L)
The lens of TS-E17mm f/4L protrudes from the front frame. To protect the lens, keep it covered with
the exclusive lens cap when not shooting.
● Removing
To remove the cap, hold down the button on the side
and turn the cap in the direction of the arrow until the
position mark on the cap aligns with the red dot.
● Attaching
To attach the cap, align the cap’s attachment position
mark with the red dot on the front of the lens, then
turn the cap as shown by the arrow until the lens’ red
dot is aligned with the cap’s stop position mark.
Do not use the strap to lift the lens while the lens
cap is attaching the lens. The lens may fall and
break.
The removed lens cap can be hooked on the tripod
using the supplied strap.

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.
ENG-8
For cameras which allow Live View shooting,
focusing using the LCD monitor’s magnified image
is recommended.

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).
