Description

Attaching and Detaching a Lens  (EOS Rebel T7)

Solution

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

Attaching a Lens
Remove the caps.
  • Remove the rear lens cap and the body cap by turning them as shown by the arrows
Attach the lens.
  • Align the lens’s red or white index with the camera’s index matching the same color. Turn the lens as shown by the arrow until it clicks in place.
Set the lens’s focus mode switch to <AF>.
  • <AF> stands for autofocus.
  • If it is set to <MF> (manual focus), autofocus will not operate
  Remove the front lens cap.

Tips for Avoiding Smudges and 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.
Zooming  
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.
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.

Attention!
  • Do not look at the sun directly through any lens. Doing so may cause loss of vision.
  • When attaching or detaching a lens, set the camera’s power switch to <OFF>.
  • If the front part (focusing ring) of the lens rotates during autofocusing, do not touch the rotating part.
  • If you use a TS-E lens, certain shift and rotation functions may be restricted, and attaching or detaching the lens may also be restricted.
  • If you use a TS-E lens and shift or tilt the lens or use an Extension Tube, the standard exposure may not be obtained or the exposure may be irregular.​
Angle of View
Since the image sensor size is smaller than the 35mm film format, the angle of view of an attached lens will be equivalent to that of a lens with approx. 1.6x of the focal length indicated
