You	
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.
●
● 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,	 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.
●
● The	 image	 stabilizer	 function	also	operates	 when	the	
lens	 is	used	 with	an	Extension	 Tube	EF12	 II	or	 EF25	 II.
●
● The	 Image	 Stabilizer 	will	 operate	 even	when	 you	
press	 the	button	 assigned	 to	the	 AF	function	 with	
the	 camera’s	 Custom	Functions.

The	 EF-S18-135mm	 f/3.5-5.6	IS	USM	 is	
equipped	 with	dynamic	 IS,	effective	 when	
shooting	 while	walking	 since	it	expands	 the	IS	
range. ●

● Removing
Keep	 your	finger	 pressed	 down	on	the	 button	
located	 on	the	 side	 of	the	 hood,	 and	then	 rotate	
the	 hood	 in	the	 direction	 of	the	 arrow	 until	the	
attachment	 position	mark	on	the	 hood	 is	aligned	
with	 the	red	 dot	on	the	 front	 of	the	 lens	 to	detach	
it.	 The	 hood	 can	be	reverse-mounted 	on	 the	 lens	
for	 storage.
●
● If	the	 hood	 is	not	 attached	 properly,	vignetting	 (darkening	 of	the	 perimeter	 of	the	 picture)	 may	occur.	
●
● Grasp	 and	rotate	 the	base	 of	the	 hood	 when	 attaching	 and	detaching	 it.	There	 are	cases	 in	which	 it	may	
become	 deformed	 if	the	 hood	 is	rotated	 with	it	grasped	 near	to	the	 rim.
