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 suns rays, which could cause a fire.

Conventions used in this instruction

Warning to prevent lens or camera malfunction or damage.

Supplementary notes on using the lens and taking pictures.

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 with an EOS REBEL T4i/650D camera, please be sure to update the cameras firmware to version 1.0.4 or later.

If the EOS REBEL T4i/650D firmware is an earlier version than 1.0.4, there is a slight chance that the camera will stop operating. If this occurs, please remove the battery temporarily and insert it again for correct camera operation.

For information on firmware updates, please check the Canon website.

Shooting Precautions The EF-S10-18mm f/4.5-5.6 IS STM utilizes a stepping motor that drives the focus lens. The motor also controls the focus lens during zooming. 1. When the camera is OFF The motor does not operate while the camera is OFF or when the camera is OFF due to the use of the auto power off function. Therefore, users must be aware of the following points.

Manual focus adjustments are not possible. During zooming, delayed focus will occur.

2. When the lens is in sleep mode If not operated for a certain period of time, this lens will enter sleep mode in order to save power. Sleep mode differs from when the camera is OFF due to the use of the auto power off function. In this state, the motor will not operate even if the camera is ON. Therefore, users must be aware of the following points.

Manual focus adjustments are not possible. During zooming, delayed focus will occur. To exit sleep mode, press the shutter button halfway.

3. During initial reset When the camera is ON or when the camera is turned ON by pressing the shutter button halfway down when the camera is OFF due to the use of the auto power off function*1, the lens performs an initial reset of the focus lens.

Although the image in the viewfinder will appear out of focus during the initial reset, this does not mean that the lens has malfunctioned.

Although the shutter can be released during the initial reset, users must wait approximately 1 second*2 after the initial reset has completed before shooting.

*1: Applicable to the following EF-S lens compatible EOS cameras: EOS 7D, EOS 60D, EOS 60Da, EOS 50D, EOS 40D, EOS 30D, EOS 20D, EOS 20Da, EOS REBEL T3i/600D, EOS REBEL T2i/550D, EOS REBEL T1i/500D, EOS REBEL XSi/450D, EOS REBEL T3/1100D, EOS REBEL XS/1000D, EOS DIGITAL REBEL XTi/400D DIGITAL, EOS DIGITAL REBEL XT/350D DIGITAL, EOS DIGITAL REBEL/300D DIGITAL

*2: The initial reset time varies depending on camera being used.

See your cameras 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 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. To remove it, reverse the order.

Mounting and Detaching the Lens

1 Setting the Focus Mode

2

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

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

Quickly rotating the focusing ring may result in delayed focus.

Manual focus adjustments are not possible when the camera is OFF.

ENG-7

Hood (sold separately)4Zooming3

To zoom, turn the lens zoom ring.

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 when the camera is OFF will result in delayed focus.

Zooming during still image exposure will result in delayed focus. This causes any streaks of light that are captured during exposure to be blurred.

The EW-73C hood cuts out unwanted light and protects the front of the lens from rain, snow, and dust. To attach the hood, align the hoods attachment position mark with the red dot on the front of the lens, then turn the hood as shown by the arrow until the lens red dot is aligned with the hoods stop position mark. The hood can be reverse-mounted on the lens for storage.

If the hood is not attached properly, vignetting (darkening of the perimeter of the picture) may occur.

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.

ENG-8

You can use the image stabilizer in AF or MF mode. This function provides optimal image stabilization depending on shooting conditions (such as shooting still subjects and following shots).

1 Set the STABILIZER switch to ON. If you are not going to use the image stabilizer function, set the switch to OFF.

2 When you press the shutter button halfway, the Image Stabilizer will start operating. Make sure the image in the viewfinder is stable, then press the shutter button the rest of the way down to take the picture.

Image Stabilizer5

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.

The image stabilizer function also operates when the lens is used with an Extension Tube EF12 II.

If you set the cameras Custom Function to change the assigned button to operate the AF, the Image Stabilizer will operate when you press the newly assigned AF button.

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, resulting in fewer shots and a shorter movie shooting time.
