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
contactsfromgettingscratched.
 Contactsthatarescratched,soiled,orhave
ngerprintsonthemmayresultinfaulty
connectionsorcorrosion,whichmayleadto
malfunctions.Ifthecontactsgetsoiled,clean
themwithasoftcloth.
 Attachthelenscapanddustcapwhen
disconnectingthelens.Whenattachingthe
dustcap,alignthelensmountindexwiththe
indexofthedustcapandrotateinaclockwise
directionasshownintheillustration.Followthe
reverseproceduretodetachit.
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.
WhenAFoperationissetto[ONESHOT],manual
focusispossibleafterautofocusinghasbeen
completedbycontinuingtopresstheshutterbutton
halfway(Full-timemanualfocus).Therearetimes
whencamerasettingchangesarerequired.
 Quicklyrotatingthefocusingringmayresultin
delayedfocus.
 Focusingbyrotatingthefocusingringisnot
possiblewhenthecameraisOFF.

Tozoom,turnthelens’zoomring.
 Besuretonishzoomingbeforefocusing.
Zoomingafterfocusingcanaffectthefocus.
 Blurringmaytemporarilyoccurifthezoomringis
quicklyrotated.
 Thelenswillmoveinandoutoffocusifthe
zoomringisrotatedwhenthecameraisOFF.
 Zoomingduringstillimageexposurewillresultin
delayedfocus.Thiscausesanystreaksoflight
thatarecapturedduringexposuretobeblurred.
TheEW-63Choodcutsoutunwantedlightand
protectsthefrontof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.
 Ifthehoodisnotattachedproperly,vignetting
(darkeningoftheperimeterofthepicture)mayoccur.
 Graspandrotatethebaseofthehoodwhen
attachinganddetachingit.Therearecasesin
whichitmaybecomedeformedifthehoodis
rotatedwithitgraspedneartotherim.

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).
1Set the STABILIZER switch to ON.
 Ifyouarenotgoingtousetheimagestabilizer
function,settheswitchtoOFF.
2 When you press the shutter button halfway,
the Image Stabilizer will start operating.
 Makesuretheimageintheviewnder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asubjectthatmoved.
 TheImageStabilizermaynotbefullyeffective
ifyoushootfromaviolentlyshakingvehicleor
othertransportation.
 TheImageStabilizerconsumesmorepower
thannormalshooting,resultinginfewershots
andashortermovieshootingtime.
 Whenshootingastillsubject,itcompensatesfor
camerashakeinalldirections.
 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useatripod,theImageStabilizer
shouldbeturnedofftosavebatterypower.
 E
venwithamonopod,theImageStabilizerwill
beaseffectiveasduringhand-heldshooting.
However,dependingontheshootingconditions,
therearecasesinwhichtheImageStabilizer
effectmaybelesseffective.
 T heimagestabilizerfunctionalsooperateswhenthe
lensisusedwithanextensiontubeEF12IIorEF25II.
 TheImageStabilizerwilloperateevenwhenyou
