Attaching the Lens
Align the lens mount indexes of the lens and
camera, and turn the lens clockwise until you
hear a click.
Detaching the Lens
Turn the lens counterclockwise while pressing
the camera's lens release button. Detach the
lens once it has stopped turning.
Please refer to the camera's instructions for
details.
Set the camera's power switch to OFF when
z
attaching or detaching the lens.
After detaching the lens, place the lens with the
z
rear end up and attach the dust cap to prevent
the lens surface and contacts from getting
scratched. Make sure the lens and dust cap
mount indexes are aligned when attaching the
dust cap.
Contacts that are scratched, soiled, or have
z
fingerprints on them may result in faulty
connections or corrosion, which may lead to
malfunctions. If the contacts get soiled, clean
Dust cap
them with a soft cloth.
The lens mount has a rubber ring to improve
z
dust-resistance and water-resistance
performance. This rubber ring may cause
friction marks to appear around the camera's
lens mount, although this will have no effect on
usage.
Since the lens is heavier than the camera, turn
z
the camera when attaching or detaching the
lens. Ensuring that the lens can rest safely on its
own is recommended, such as first mounting it
on a tripod.
Rubber rings can be replaced at a Canon
z
Service Center. (chargeable)
