Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.
The Canon EF-M15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM is a standard
zoom lens developed for interchangeable-lens digital cameras
compatible with EF-M lenses*.
* The only digital interchangeable-lens cameras compatible
with EF-M lenses are EOS M series cameras. No other EOS
camera takes an EF-M lens.
• "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.
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.
• If you want to correct RAW images taken with this lens
mounted to an EOS M, EOS M2, or EOS M3 camera,
download the latest version of DPP (Digital Photo Professional)
from the Canon website and use the DPP software.

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. Shooting Preparations and Retracting Lens
Shooting Preparations:
With the lens retract position index and zoom position index
aligned, attach the lens to the camera. Turn the camera on.
A message prompting you to operate the lens appears on the
camera’s liquid crystal monitor. Maintain pressure on the lens-
retraction switch in the [
▲
] direction, and slightly rotate the
zoom ring in the direction of the white arrow to release the lens-
retraction switch. Further rotate the zoom ring until it clicks. The
message on the camera’s liquid crystal monitor disappears. The
lens is now ready for shooting. (The center of the no. 15 pointing
line in the focal length indicator will show above or to the left of
the zoom position index extension line.) (fig.
❸
)
Retracting Lens:
Maintain pressure on the lens-retraction switch in the [
▲
] direction.
Rotate the zoom ring in the opposite direction to the white arrow.
Align the lens retract position index and the zoom position index.
Release the lens-retraction switch to retract the lens.
Do not forcibly rotate the zoom ring if its movement becomes
constricted in the lens retract position or wide end (15 mm)
position. Doing so results in the risk of damaging the lens
retraction switch mechanism.
3. Zooming
Turn the lens’ zoom ring to adjust the size of the photo field or
subject. (fig.
❹
)
• 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.
