Reference Information

This lens is a digital cinema lens for shooting movies.
• EF Cinema lenses were developed primarily for movie production, and have a color balance typical for movies. This means that
the color reproduction is warmer (shifted toward yellow in the CCI coordinate system) than that of EF lenses which are basically
used to shoot still images. Therefore, when using both types of lens together, adjust the color balance (redo the white balance etc.)
as necessary.
• In general, the depth of field becomes shallow and the focusing range becomes extremely narrow near the widest aperture and
when shooting a subject at close range. In addition, this tendency increases for lenses with longer focal lengths. When shooting
images, carefully check the focusing condition using the zoom mode of the finder or other means, and shoot a sufficient number of
test images before performing focus operations.
