Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.

EF35mm f/2 IS USM is a wide-angle single focus lens that provide high 

image quality.

●

 “IS” stands for Image Stabilizer.

●

 “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.

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 dust cap. To attach it 

properly, align the lens mount index and the 

○

 index of the dust 

cap, and turn clockwise

3. Infinity Compensation Mark

vertical line of the distance scale L mark is aligned with the distance 

index

For accurate manual focusing of subjects at infinity, look through 

the viewfinder or look at the magnified image* on the LCD screen 

while rotating the focusing ring.
