Slide the tilt-lock button in the direction of
arrow A. Loosen the tilt lock knob by turning
it in the direction of arrow B.
Using Tilt
When you tilt the lens, sharp portions of the tilt
mechanism are exposed and care should be
taken to avoid touching these portions.
T
urn the tilt lock knob in the direction of the
arrow to lock the amount of tilt for the shot. T
urn the tilt knob to adjust the amount of tilt.
Focus the shot by turning the focusing ring.
To   keep the tilt scale locked in the “0” position, slide
the tilt lock button in the direction of “LOCK”, then turn
the tilt lock knob in the direction of the arrow shown in
Step 3.

4. Shift Function
Shifting moves the optical axis of the lens in parallel off the center of the imaging plane.
Shift can be used to good effect in the situations shown below.
●If you photograph a subject such as a
building with a normal lens, the top of
the building tapers away. But by placing
the camera parallel to the building and
shifting the lens, you can correct this
tapering effect.●When you are shooting a reflective
subject, you can move the camera to a
position where the camera does not
appear in the shot and then use shift to
take the picture. This lets you keep the
camera out of the shot without having
to change the shot composition.

Using ShiftTurn the shift lock knob in
the direction of the arrow to
lock the amount of shift for
the shot.
Loosen the shift lock knob
by turning it in the direction
of the arrow.
T
urn the shift knob to adjust
the amount of shift. Focus
the shot by turning the
focusing ring.
When you shift the lens, sharp portions of the shift mechanism are expos\
ed and care should be taken to
avoid touching these portions. For EOS cameras with built-in flash, ther\
e may be contact with the lens while
you operate the shift function.
● With large amounts of shift, the amounts of peripheral light at the top \
and bottom or left and right sides of
the screen may differ, so shooting with a small aperture is recommended.
● The shift operation will be easier if the supplied cap is mounted on the\
 shift knob (p.6).

5. Rotation
The rotation function enables you to change the direction of tilt or
shift by rotating the tilt-shift mechanism.
With the lens mounted on the camera, push the rotation lock release
button towards the mount and then turn the tilt-shift mechanism.
●The rotation mechanism can be rotated through ±90°. The lens clicks every
30° and locks in place in the 90° position.
●When rotating the lens, set the tilt and shift scales to the “0” p\
osition.
● Note that rotating the tilt-shift mechanism quickly while pressing on th\
e
rotation lock release button may cause the shift lock knob to strike you\
r
fingers.
● Do not operate the shift function while operating the rotation function.\
You may be injured by having your fingers caught.
● For EOS cameras with built-in flash, there may be contact with the lens
while you operate the rotation function.
In order to prevent shifts in position while shooting, shooting while
rotation is locked, or shooting per click position is recommended.

Changing the Operation Direction of Tilt and Shift (TS rotation Function)
When the tilt and shift are used in a parallel direction,
vignetting will occur in the areas marked in gray in the 
following table.
In order to prevent shifts in position while shooting, shooting
while TS rotation is locked, or shooting per click position is
recommended.
By using the TS rotation function, 
the relationship of the tilt and shift’s
operation direction can switch from
right angle to parallel.
Press the TS rotation lock release
button in the mounting direction while
the lens is mounted on the camera,
and then turn the tilt component.
●There are clicks at the 45°position, and
will be fixed in either the right angle or
parallel position.

The depth of field is the distance in front of and
behind the plane of focus on the subject that
appears sharp. The depth of field is indicated by
the area between the depth-of-field scale lines
below the distance scale. 
The 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.
6. Depth-of-Field Scale
(TS-E24mm f/3.5L II)
7. Infrared Index
(TS-E24mm f/3.5L II)
●
The depth-of-field scale is only valid when the
tilt scale is set to the “0” position.
● The depth-of-field scale is an approximate
indicator.
●The infrared index position 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.
Some EOS cameras cannot use infrared film. See
the instructions for your EOS camera.

8.TS-E Tripod  Adapter (Sold Separately)9. Exposure
With some camera models, the tilt, shift and
rotation functions cannot be used when the
camera is mounted directly on a tripod. When
this happens, fit the optional TS-E tripod adapter
into the tripod mount socket on the camera
before mounting the camera on the tripod.Shots can be taken using AE (automatic
exposure) as long as the tilt and shift scales are
set to the “0” position.
The use of AE is not recommended when the
lens is tilted or shifted as exposure errors may
result. It is recommended that you use the
exposure values when the tilt and shift scales
are set to the “0” position as a guide and then
take the shot with as many exposure settings as
possible.

10. Hood (TS-E24mm f/3.5L II)
The EW-88B lens hood can keep unwanted light out of the lens, and also protect\
s 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 as shown by the arrow until the lens’
red dot is aligned with the hood’s stop position mark.
The hood can be reverse-mounted on the lens for
storage.
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.
● Cutting off harmful rays entering the lens by using both a hood as well as a piece\
 of cardboard is 
recommended.
● Ahood is not available for TS-E17mm f/4L.

thread on the front of the lens.
11. Filters (Sold Separately)
(TS-E24mm f/3.5L II)
● Only one filter may be attached.
● Use a polarizing Canon filter (82mm).
Afilter cannot be used with TS-E17mm f/4L.
12. Infinity Compensation Mark
(TS-E24mm f/3.5L II)
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.
For accurate focusing of subjects at infinity, look
through the viewfinder’s magnified image* or the
LCD screen’s magnified image* while rotating the
focusing ring.
* For cameras with Live View shooting capability.

recommended because the lens-to-subject
distance will be very short.
