Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.

The Canon EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM lens is a 3x

standard zoom lens developed for interchangeable-lens digital

cameras compatible with EF-M lenses*.

* Only the following cameras are compatible with EF-M lenses (as

of September 2012):

EOS M

•

"IS" stands for Image Stabilizer.

•

"STM" stands for stepping motor.

Safety Precautions

•

Do not look at the sun or a bright light source through the

lens. Doing so could result in vision loss or blindness.

•

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 a warm

one, condensation may develop on the lens surface and

internal parts. To prevent condensation in this case, first

put the lens into an airtight plastic bag before taking it from a

cold to warm environment. Then take out the lens after it has

warmed gradually. Do the same when taking the lens from a

warm environment into a cold one.

•

Do not leave the lens in excessive heat such as in a car in

direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause the lens to

malfunction.

•

Please also refer to the handling cautions found in your

camera’s instructions.

Conventions used in this instruction

Warning to prevent lens or camera malfunction or

damage.

Supplementary notes on using the lens and taking

pictures.

1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens

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 contacts from getting

scratched. (fig.❶)

•

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 with the dust cap. To attach

it properly, align the lens mount index and the  index of the

dust cap as shown in the diagram, and turn clockwise. (fig.❷)

To remove it, reverse the order.

2. Zooming

Turn the lens’ zoom ring to adjust the size of the photo field or

subject. (fig.❸)

•

For wide shots, turn the zoom ring toward the wide end.

•

For close-ups, turn the zoom ring toward the telephoto end.

•

Be sure to finish zooming before focusing. Zooming after

focusing can affect the focus.

•

Blurring may temporarily occur if the zoom ring is quickly

rotated.

•

Zooming during still image exposure will result in delayed

focus. This causes any streaks of light that are captured

during exposure to be blurred.

3. Manual Focus

When the camera’s focus mode is set to [MF], focus manually by

turning the focusing ring (fig.❹).

Quickly rotating the focusing ring may result in delayed focus.

•

Focus mode is set using the camera. Please refer to the

camera’s instructions.

•

After autofocusing in [AF+MF] mode, focus manually by

pressing the shutter button halfway and turning the focusing

ring (full-time manual focusing).

4. Image Stabilizer

This lens is equipped with an Image Stabilizer. This function

corrects camera shake, allowing users to capture sharp images.

Also, the Image Stabilizer automatically provides optimal image

stabilization depending on shooting conditions (such as shooting

still subjects and following shots). Please set the Image Stabilizer

ON or OFF using the camera settings. See your camera’s

instructions for details.

•

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, so fewer shots can be taken if you use the

function.

•

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 environment, the

Image Stabilizer effect may be less effective.

■ Dynamic IS Function (Movie shooting only)

The EF-M 18-55mm f/3.5-5.6 IS STM is equipped with dynamic IS,

effective when shooting while walking since it expands the IS range.

•

Achieves effective IS at the wide end.

•

Automatically activates when the camera is set to Movie

Shooting.
