Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.EF35mm f/2 IS USM is a wide-angle single focus lens that provide high 
image quality.
●  
“IS” stands for Image Stabilizer.
●  
“USM” stands for Ultrasonic Motor.
 Safety Precautions●  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.
●  
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.
●  
Do not leave the lens in excessive heat such as in a car in direct 
sunlight.
 High temperatures can cause the lens to malfunction.
Conventions used in this instruction
Warning to prevent lens or camera malfunction or damage.
Supplementary notes on using the lens and taking pictures.
1. Mounting and Detaching the LensSee 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  ● ❶. To remove it, reverse the order.
2. Setting the Focus ModeTo shoot in autofocus (AF) mode, set the focus mode switch to AF 
❷.
To shoot in manual focus (MF) mode, set the focus mode switch to MF, 
and focus by turning the focusing ring. The focusing ring always works, 
regardless of the focus mode  ❸.
After autofocusing in ONE SHOT AF mode, focus manually by 
pressing the shutter button halfway and turning the focusing ring. 
(Full-time manual focus)
3. Infinity Compensation MarkTo 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 distance scale L mark is aligned with the distance 
index 
❹.
For accurate manual focusing of subjects at infinity, look through 
the viewfinder or look at the magnified image* on the LCD screen 
while rotating the focusing ring.
* For cameras with Live View shooting capability.

4. Image StabilizerYou 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 
❺.
●  
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 viewfinder 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, so fewer shots can be taken if you use the function.
●  
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.
●  
The stabilizer is equally effective for handheld photography and 
photography with a monopod. The Image Stabilizer effect may 
be reduced, however, depending on the shooting environment.
●  
The Image Stabilizer also operates when the lens is used with 
extension tube EF12 II or EF25 II.
● 
If you set the camera’s Custom Function to change the 
assigned button to operate the AF, the Image Stabilizer will 
operate when you press the newly assigned AF button.
5. Hood (Sold Separately)The EW-72 hood can keep unwanted light out of the lens, and also 
protects 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 in the direction of 
the arrow until the lens’s red dot is aligned with the hood’s stop position 
mark 
❻.
To remove the hood, hold down the button on the side and turn the hood 
in the direction of the arrow until the position mark on the hood aligns 
with the red dot  ❼.
The hood can be reverse-mounted on the lens for storage.
●  Part of the picture may be blocked if the hood is not attached properly.● 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.
