Canon 6473A003 EF 75-300mm Telephoto Zoom Lens Instruction Guide

Canon 6473A003 EF 75-300mm Telephoto Zoom Lens

Product Description

The best cost-performance ratio is provided by this high-magnification zoom lens, which is also the smallest and lightest in its class. To lessen operating stress during autofocus operation, the first element group—the optical system’s heaviest element group—was made of a lightweight glass substance. The autofocus is rapid and quiet when used in conjunction with the micro USM. This lens is a pleasure to use because of its thin design and easy zooming.

Safety Precautions

1. 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.
2. 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 a 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.

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.
• 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 a dust cap. To attach it properly, align the lens mount index and the  index of the dust cap as shown in diagram ❶ , and turn clockwise. To remove it, reverse the order.

Setting the Focus Mode

To shoot in autofocus (AF) mode, set the focus mode switch to AF ❹ .
To shoot in manual focus (MF) mode, set the focus mode switch to MF, and focus by turning the focusing ring.

• Do not touch the rotating parts of the lens while AF is active.
• Do not focus in MF when the focus mode switch is set to AF.
• When the hood (sold separately) is installed to the EF55- 200mm f/4.5-5.6 USM, EF55-200mm f/4.5-5.6 II USM, and EF80-200mm f/4.5-5.6 USM, you can turn the hood to adjust with MF.

Zooming

To zoom, turn the lens’ zoom ring ❺.

• Be sure to finish zooming before focusing. Changing the zoom ring after focusing can affect the focus.
  

Hood

The lens hood can keep unwanted light out of the lens and also protects the lens from rain, snow, and dust. Fit the hood to the hood mount, then turn it in the direction of the arrow to attach it securely ❻ . The hood can be reverse-mounted on the lens for storage ❼.

• Part of the picture may be blocked if the hood is not attached properly.
• When attaching or detaching the hood, grasp the base of the hood to turn it. To prevent deformation, do not grasp the rim of the hood to turn it.
  

Filters

You can attach filters to the filter mounting thread on the front of the lens.

• Use a polarizing Canon filter.
• The lens length is measured from the mounting surface to the front end of the lens. Add 21.5 mm to include the E-58U lens cap and dust cap, and 24.2 mm for the E-58 II.
• The size and weight listed are for the lens only, except as indicated.
• Aperture settings are specified on the camera. The camera automatically compensates for variations in the aperture setting when the camera is zoomed in or out.
• All data listed is measured according to Canon standards.
• Product specifications and appearance are subject to change without notice.
• Case and hood not provided with some models.
• Filters are sold separately.
