Thank you for purchasing a Canon USM lens.
 Safety Precautions
1. 
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.
2.  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.
 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.
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 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.
2. Setting the Focus Mode
To shoot in autofocus mode, set the focus mode switch to AF  a. 
To use only manual focusing, set the focus mode switch to 
MF, and focus by turning the focusing ring.
•  Do not touch the focusing ring on the lens during  autofocusing.
3. Full-time Manual Focusing
Full-time manual focusing allows you to focus manually even 
when autofocus mode is selected.
1) Set the camera to ONE SHOT AF mode and press the shutter button halfway.
2) Keep the shutter button pressed halfway and turn the  focusing ring to focus manually 
 b.
4. Aperture Setting
Aperture settings are specified on the camera.
5. Infinity Distance Mark
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 
 c.
To make sure focus is precise, it is recommended that you 
check the focus in the viewfinder before shooting.
6. Infrared Index
The infrared index corrects the focus setting when using 
monochrome infrared film. Focus on the subject manually, 
then adjust the distance setting by moving the focusing ring 
to the corresponding infrared index mark 
 d.
Use a red filter also when you take the picture.
•  Switch the focus mode to MF to turn the focusing ring for  adjustment.
•  The position of the infrared indices is based on film usage  with a peak sensitivity of 800 nm and a red filter (such 
as Wratten 87). Using black and white infrared film with 
a different sensitivity may require a slightly different 
setting. Thus, it is recommended to take trial shots with the 
focusing ring set slightly to the left and then right of the 
appropriate index to find the best position.
•  Be sure to observe the manufacturer’s instructions when  using infrared film.
7. Filter (sold separately)
The filter screws onto the front of the lens.
•  If you need a polarizing filter, use Canon’s PL-C polarizing filter.
Filter holder for the EF14mm f/2.8L USM
This lens is constructed with a built-in, gelatin filter holder 
in the rear 
 e. To insert, simply cut the filter to the same 
dimensions (31 mm/1-1/4” × 31 mm/1-1/4”) as the white 
brackets, then slide the filter into the holder.

8. Hood
The hood can keep unwanted light out of the lens, and also 
protects the lens from rain, snow, and dust. Engage the hood 
attachment tabs on the lens with the tabs on the hood and 
turn the hood in the direction of the arrow to secure it to the 
lens.
[Bayonet type] 
EF20mm f/2.8 USM, EF28mm f/1.8 USM and EF50mm 
f/1.4 USM (sold separately), and EF24mm f/1.4L USM and 
EF35mm f/1.4L USM (supplied with the lens).
To fit the hood on the EF20mm f/2.8 USM, EF24mm f/1.4L 
USM, EF28mm f/1.8 USM or EF35mm f/1.4L USM, align 
the hood’s attachment position mark with the red dot on the 
front of the lens, then turn the hood clockwise until the lens’s 
red dot is aligned with the hood’s stop position mark 
 f.
When attaching or detaching the hood, grasp the base of the 
hood to turn it. To prevent deformation, do not grasp the rim 
of the hood to turn it.
Though there is no red dot on the hood for the EF50mm f/1.4 
USM (ES-71II), the attachment procedure is the same.
•  Part of the picture may be blocked if the hood is not  attached properly.
•  The hood can be reverse-mounted on the lens for storage.
[Clip-on type]
EF85mm f/1.8 USM, EF100mm f/2 USM (sold separately)
Press the buttons on both sides of the hood to attach as 
illustrated
