Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.
 Safety Precautions1. 
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 CautionsIf 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 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. To remove it, reverse the order.
2. Setting the Focus ModeTo shoot in autofocus (AF) mode, set the focus mode switch to AF  a.
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.
•  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. Zooming To zoom, turn the lens’ zoom ring  b.
•  Be sure to finish zooming  before focusing. Changing the zoom 
ring after focusing can affect the focus.
4. Infrared IndexThe infrared index corrects the focus setting when using 
monochrome infrared film. 
Focus on the subject in MF, then adjust the distance setting by 
moving the focusing ring to the corresponding infrared index mark 
 c.
•  The infrared index p osition is based on a wavelength of 800 nm.
•  Be sure to observe the manufacturer’s instructions when using  infrared film.
•  Use a red filter also when you take the picture.

5. 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 L mark is aligned with the distance indicator on 
the distance scale.
•	 For	accurate	focusing	in	MF	on	subjects	at	infinity	distance,	look	
through the viewfinder while rotating the focusing ring 
❼.6. HoodTo	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	
❽.
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.
7. Filters (Sold Separately)You can attach filters to the filter mounting thread on the front of 
the lens.
•	 Use	a	polarizing	Canon	filter	(77mm).
8.  Switching the Focusing Distance Range (EF70-
200mm f/2.8L USM Only)
You can set the focusing distance range to 1.5 m/4.9 ft. to infinity or \
3m/9.8 ft. to infinity ❾.
•	 If	you	use	AF	from	outside	the	specified	focusing	distance	range,	 the lens may stop focusing when it reaches the limit of the range. 
This	is	not	a	malfunction.	
If	this	occurs,	press	the	shutter	button	
halfway down again.
9.   Extenders (Sold Separately: EF70-200mm f/2.8L USM 
Only)
AF	is	possible	with	Extender	EF1.4×	II/EF2×	II.	
•	 The	aperture	F	values	and	focal	lengths	when	an	extender	is	used	
are as follows: 
EF1.4×	II:	f/4,	98-280mm,	EF2×	II:	f/5.6,	140-400mm
Attach	the	extender	to	the	lens,	and	then	attach	the	lens	to	the	
camera.	To	remove	it,	reverse	the	order.	Errors	may	occur	if	you	
attach	the	extender	to	the	camera	first.
When	you	are	using	an	extender,	use	the	center	focusing	point	for	
AF.	If	you	use	AF	with	a	different	focusing	point,	a	focusing	error	
may occur.
10.   Using the Tripod Mount (EF70-200mm f/2.8L USM 
Only)
By	loosening	the	orientation	locking	knob	on	the	tripod	mount	you	
can	rotate	the	camera	to	set	the	image	for	any	vertical	or	horizontal	
position.
Detaching the Tripod Mount
First	remove	the	lens	from	the	camera	and	then	remove	the	tripod	
mount	from	the	lens	as	shown	below.	To	attach	the	tripod	mount,	
reverse the procedure.
1)	 Loosen	the	orientation
	locking	knob	
.
2)	 Align	the	red	mark	on	the	tripod	mount	with	the	lens	mount	 index	
.
3)	 Slide	off	the	tripod	collar	away	from	the	rear	of	the	lens	.
n  
The lens length is measured from the mount surface to the front 
end	of	the	lens.	Add	21.5	mm	to	include	the	E-77U	lens	cap	and	
dust	cap,	and	24.2	mm	for	the	E-77	II.
n 	 The	size	and	weight	listed	are	for	
the	lens	only,	except	as	
indicated.
n 	 Aperture	settings	are

	specified	on	the	camera.	The	camera	
automatically compensates for variations in the aperture setting 
when	the	camera	is	zoomed	in	or	out.
n 	 All	data	listed	is	measured	according	to	Canon	standards.
n 	 Product	specifications	and	appearance	are	subject	to	change	
without notice.
