Canon lens EFM 28mm f35 Macro IS STM User Manual

							ENG-10
This lens is equipped with an Image Stabilizer. 
This function corrects camera shake, allowing 
users to capture sharp images. Also, the Image 
Stabilizer automatically provides optimal image 
stabilization depending on shooting conditions 
(such as shooting still subjects and following 
shots). Please set the Image Stabilizer ON 
or OFF using the camera settings. See your 
camera’s instructions for details.
Image Stabilizer [On]
Image Stabilizer [Off]
The image stabilizer in this lens is effective for 
hand-held shots under the following conditions.
●
● Hand-held close-ups (macro)
●
● In semi-darkened areas such as indoors or outdoors 
at night.
●
● In locations where flash photography is prohibited, 
such as art museums and theater stages.
●
● In situations where your footing is uncertain.
●
● In situations where fast shutter settings cannot be 
used. 
●
● When panning subjects in motion.

Image Stabilizer
●
● The shorter the subject distance from the 
camera, the lesser the Image Stabilizer effect 
will be.
●
● The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a 
blurred shot caused by a subject that moved.
●
● Set the Image Stabilizer to OFF when you are 
taking pictures using the Bulb setting (long 
exposures). If the Image Stabilizer is set to ON, 
the image stabilizer function may introduce 
errors.
●
● 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, resulting in fewer shots 
and a shorter movie shooting time.●
● 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.
●
● Even with a monopod, the Image Stabilizer will 
be as effective as during hand-held shooting. 
However, depending on the shooting conditions, 
there are cases in which the Image Stabilizer 
effect may be less effective.

Hold the camera firmlyHold the camera firmly as shown in the 
illustration on the right when taking hand-held 
close-ups (macro), and take the shots carefully 
to minimize camera shake and prevent focus 
blurring.
Taking Photographs with the Servo AFIt is recommended that the camera is set at 
Servo AF when taking close-up (macro) shots. 
See the camera’s instruction manual for further 
details.
It is necessary to be careful of the following during 
close-up (macro) shooting. 
• There is a tendency for camera shake to affect 
close-up (macro) shots more than normal shots, 
and the effects of the image stabilizing function 
are reduced.
•  Depth of field becomes extremely shallow when 
taking close-up (macros) shots, and the focus 
may blur if the camera is moved forward and 
backward.
Taking Hand-held Close-ups (Macro)5
Place both elbows on a steady surface such as a table.
Use your knee to support 
an arm holding the camera.Lean against a steady 
object like a wall. 
						

							ENG-13
Setting the Exposure
When taking photographs using TTL metering, 
no exposure compensation is necessary to 
meter the light coming through the lens.  
With TTL metering, AE (autoexposure) is 
possible at all focusing distances. Just set the 
desired picture-taking mode, then check the 
shutter speed and aperture before taking the 
picture.
Magnification and Effective f-number
The aperture displayed by the camera assumes 
that the focus is set to infinity. The actual 
aperture (effective f-number) becomes darker 
(effective f-number increases) at closer focusing 
distances (magnification increases). This does 
not cause exposure problems for normal picture-
taking. However, for closeup photography, you 
cannot ignore the change in the effective 
f-number.
●
● Conditions prevalent with the subject are very 
important when deciding on the correct level 
of exposure for close-up (macro) shots. It is 
therefore recommended that exposure levels are 
amended as much as possible during shooting, 
or that the image of the subject is checked on 
the camera’s LCD monitor.
●
● Using either the aperture-priority AE (Av) mode 
or manual exposure (M) mode is recommended 
for close-up (macro) photography, as these 
make it easier to adjust the depth of field and 
exposure.

Macro Lite A
Macro Lite B
The Macro Lites on the front of the lens shine 
light on the subject during close-up (macro) 
photography to facilitate shooting. There are two 
light-emitting Macro Lites located on both sides 
of the lens, and it is possible to illuminate both 
simultaneously or either of them independently.
1.  Set the mode selection ring to either the 
normal mode or the super macro mode.
2.  Press the Macro Lite ON button to illuminate 
the Macro Lites.
Macro Lites7
●
● The Macro Lites can only be illuminated when 
the power to the camera is switched on.
●
● Remove the hood when using the Macro Lites.
The use of a single Macro Lite will add shadow to 
the subject and add a sense of three-dimensionality 
to photographs.

■ Switching Between Both Macro Lites 
and a Single Macro Lite
●
● Hold down the Macro Lite ON button with the 
light illuminated to alternate between both 
lights and a single light. 
						

							ENG-17
Macro Lites
●
● The Macro Lites cast shadows from the camera 
and lens onto the subject during close-up 
(macro) photography to facilitate shooting and 
improve the end result. They are not designed to 
shine sufficient light on subjects when shooting 
in dark locations.
●
● The Macro Lites are extinguished when the 
camera’s power-saving function (Auto Power Off) 
turns off the power.
●
● T
he illumination status will not be saved once the Macro 
Lites have been extinguished when the power to the 
camera has been switched off and the lens retracted.
●
● More battery power is consumed when the 
Macro Lites are in use than when they are 
not in use, which will reduce the number of 
photographs that can be taken and the amount 
of time that videos can be filmed.
●
● T
he Macro Lites will be concealed when the hood 
is attached, so don’t forget to switch them off.
●
● After pressing the shutter button halfway, don’t 
change the Macro Lite status when shooting. 
Since pressing the shutter button halfway locks the 
exposure*, it may not be possible to shoot in standard 
exposure if the Macro Lite status has changed.
*  Differs according to the camera’s photometry and 
AF settings. For details, please check your camera’s 
instruction manual.
Hood8
The ES-22 lens hood plays the following roles:
●
● In addition to blocking out damaging light, it also protects 
the lens from rain, snow, dust and other elements.
●
● It prevents the white ring on the front of the 
lens from being reflected back into images.
●
● It acts as an adapter when filters are being used.
Screw the hood firmly and correctly onto the 
front of the lens.
●
● Attaching the hood at an angle may damage the 
outside of the lens.
●
● I
f the hood is not attached properly, vignetting 
(darkening of the perimeter of the picture) may occur.
●
● Remove the hood when using the Macro Lites.
It is possible to attach the lens cap to the front of 
the hood when it is attached to the lens. 
						

							ENG-18
Hood
You can attach filters (which are 43 mm in 
diameter) to the filter mounting thread on the 
front of the hood.
1. Attach the hood.
2. Attach the filter to the front of the hood.
●
● Filters cannot be used unless the hood is 
attached.
●
● Only one filter may be attached.
