ENG-11 Tips on Using the Image Stabilizer •The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a blurred shot caused by a subject that moved. • Set the STABILIZER switch to when you are taking pictures using the Bulb setting (long exposures). If the STABILIZER switch is set to , the image stabilizer function may introduce errors. • The Image Stabilizer might not be fully effective in the following cases: •Y ou shoot while riding on a bumpy road. •Y ou move the camera dramatically for a panning shot in Mode 1. •Y ou shoot using techniques other than f ollowing shots in Mode 2. • The Image Stabilizer consumes more power than normal shooting, so fewer shots can be taken if you use the function. • The image stabilizer operates for about two seconds even when your finger is off the shutter button. Do not remove the lens while the stabilizer is in operation. This will cause a malfunction. •W ith the EOS-1V/HS, 3, ELAN 7E/ELAN 7/30/33, ELAN 7NE/ELAN 7N/30V/33V, ELAN II/ELAN II E/50/50E, REBEL2000/300, IX, and D30, the Image Stabilizer will not work during self-timer operation.• Using a tripod also stabilizes the image. However, depending on the kind of tripod and shooting conditions, sometimes it may be better to turn off the Image Stabilizer function. • The stabilizer is equally effective for hand-held photography and photography with a monopod. • The image stabilizer function also operates when the lens is used with an Extension Tube EF12 ll or EF25 ll. • With Extender EF1.4X II/EF2X II attached to the lens, the Image Stabilizer will work with the following cameras: EOS-1Ds Mark III, EOS-1Ds Mark II, EOS-1Ds, EOS-1D Mark lll, EOS-1D Mark II N, EOS-1D Mark II, EOS-1D, EOS 40D, 30D, 20D, 20Da, 10D, 5D, DIGITAL REBEL XSi/450D, DIGITAL REBEL XTi/400D DIGITAL, DIGITAL REBEL XT/350D DIGITAL, DIGITAL REBEL/300D DIGITAL, D60, D30, EOS DCS1, DCS3, D2000, D6000, EOS-1V/HS, EOS-1N/DP/HS/RS, 3, ELAN 7E/ELAN 7/30/33, ELAN 7NE/ELAN 7N/30V/33V, ELAN II/ELAN IIE/50/50E, REBEL X/REBEL XS/500, REBEL G/500N, REBEL 2000/300, REBEL Ti/300V, REBEL T2/300X, REBEL K2/3000V, IX, IX Lite/IX7, 3000/88, 5000/888 •Pictures may look distorted after being taken depending on the camera, but this doesnt affect shooting. • 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.

ENG-13 11. Extenders (Sold separately) •With Extender EF1.4X II attached to the lens, only manual focus is possible. However, with the EOS-1Ds Mark III, EOS-1Ds Mark ll, EOS-1Ds, EOS-1D Mark lll, EOS-1D Mark ll N, EOS-1D Mark ll, EOS-1D, EOS-1V/HS, EOS-3 camera, autofocusing with the center focusing point is possible. • With Extender EF2X II attached to the lens, only manual focus is possible. • First attach the Extender to the lens, then attach the lens to the camera. Detach it from the camera in the reverse order. If you attach the lens to the camera first, misoperation may occur. • Only one Extender can be attached to the lens and camera. • If you use an Extender on the lens mounted on a EOS A2/A2E/5, set the exposure compensation to -1/2 stop for the EF1.4X II or -1 stop for the EF2X II. With Extender EF1.4X ll or EF2X ll attached, the lens specifications wil\ l change as follows: When an Extender is attached, the AF speed will become slower by design to retain proper AF control.
