Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.

EF35mm f/1.4L II USM is a large-diameter wide-angle lens for EOS cameras.

 “USM” stands for Ultrasonic Motor.

 Safety Precautions

 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.

 

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.

Usage Precautions

 When using this lens, please check the Canon website for the latest camera 

firmware. If the camera’s firmware is not the latest version, be sure to update 
to the latest firmware.

 For details on updating firmware, please check the Canon website.

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.

 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 lens cap and dust cap. To attach 

the dust cap properly, align the lens mount index and the 

 index of the 

dust cap, and turn clockwise 

. To remove it, reverse the order.

 The lens mount has a rubber ring for enhanced dust- and water-

resistance. The rubber ring may cause slight abrasions around the 
camera’s lens mount, but this will not cause any problems. If the rubber 
ring becomes worn, it is replaceable by a Canon Service Center at cost.

2. Setting the Focus Mode

To shoot in autofocus (AF) mode, set the focus mode switch to AF 

.

To shoot in manual focus (MF) mode, set the focus mode switch to MF, and turn 
the focusing ring to set the focus 

.

The focusing ring always works, regardless of the focus mode.

When the camera AF mode is ONE SHOT AF, focus manually by pressing 
the shutter button halfway and turning the focusing ring. (Full-time manual 
focus)
