Distance index
Innity compensation
mark
To compensate for shifting of the innity focus
point that results from changes in temperature,
there is a margin at the innity (∞) position.
The innity position at normal temperature is the
point at which the vertical line of the distance
scale L mark is aligned with the distance index.
For accurate manual focusing of subjects at innity,
look through the viewnder or look at the magnied
image* on the LCD screen while rotating the
focusing ring.
* For cameras with Live View shooting capability.
Infrared Index
The infrared index corrects the focus setting when
using monochrome infrared lm. Focus on the subject
manually, then adjust the distance scale indicated by
the distance index by moving the focusing ring to the
corresponding infrared index mark before shooting.
Some EOS cameras cannot use infrared lm. See
the instructions for your EOS camera.
The infrared index position is based on a
wavelength of 800 nm.
The compensation amount differs depending
on the focal length (large at the wide end, small
at the telephoto end). Use the 50 or 24 (mm)
infrared index position as a guide when setting
the compensation amount manually.
Be sure to observe the manufacturer’s
instructions when using infrared lm.
Use a red lter when you take the picture.
