aSafety Precautions
ENG-2
aSafety Precautions•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.
• 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 Cautions• If the lens is taken from a cold environment into

See 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
electrical 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...

•To prevent camera shake, use a tripod and the
Remote Switch (sold separately).
•F or magnification-priority macro photography, a
f ocusing rail (commerically available) will make
f ocusing easier.
• With high-magnification shots, the viewfinder
image will darken, making it difficult to focus.
Using Angle Finder C (sold separately) will
make it easier to focus.
•T o check the depth of field, refer to the Depth-of-
field Table or use the camera’s depth-of-field
preview.

3. Setting the Exposure
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.
When you use a handheld exposure meter to set
the exposure,...

ENG-8
•With the EOS-3, using a Laser Matte focusing
screen will enable AE metering at all
magnifications from 1 ×to 5 ×.
• Using aperture-priority AE (Av ) or Manual (M)
picture-taking modes are recommended as it is
easy to adjust depth of field and exposure in
these modes.
