1. 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. ¡If the contacts get soiled, scratched, or have fingerprints on them, corrosion or faulty connections can result.
3. Infinity Compensation Mark Infinity compensation mark Distance index To compensate for shifting of the infinity focus point that results from changes in temperature. The infinity position at normal temperature is the point at which the vertical line of the L mark is aligned with the distance indicator on the distance scale.
5. Depth-of-Field Scale The depth of field is the distance in front of and behind the plane of focus on the subject that appears sharp. The depth of field is indicated by the area between the depth-of-field scale lines below the distance scale. Numbers in the scale are in F values, and for example, if the shooting distance is 5m and the aperture is f/11, the sharp area will extend from about 4m to 7m.
You can attach filters to the filter mounting thread on the front of the lens. ¡Only one filter may be attached. ¡If you need a polarizing filter, use the Canon Circular Polarizing Filter (72mm). ¡To adjust the polarizing filter, first remove the lens hood.
