Attaching and Detaching a Lens

Solution

Attaching and Detaching a Lens

The camera is compatible with all Canon EF lenses. The camera cannot be used with EF-S lenses

1 Remove the caps.

  • Remove the rear lens cap and the body cap by turning them as shown by the arrows.

2 Attach the lens.

  • Align the red dots on the lens and camera and turn the lens as shown by the arrow until it clicks in place

3 Set the lens focus mode switch to <AF>.

  • <AF> stands for Autofocus.

  • If it is set to <MF> (manual focus), autofocus will not operate.

4 Remove the front lens cap.

  • Do not look at the sun directly through any lens. Doing so may cause loss of vision.

  • If the front part (focusing ring) of the lens rotates during autofocusing, do not touch the rotating part.

 

Minimizing Dust

  • When changing lenses, do it quickly in a place with minimal dust.

  • When storing the camera without a lens attached, be sure to attach the body cap to the camera.

  • Remove dust on the body cap before attaching it.

About Zooming

To zoom, turn the zoom ring on the lens with your fingers.

If you want to zoom, do it before focusing. Turning the zoom ring after achieving focus may throw off the focus slightly.

 

Detaching the Lens

While pressing the lens release button, turn the lens as shown by the arrow.

  • Turn the lens until it stops, then detach it.

  • Attach the rear lens cap to the detached lens.
