This document provides essential instructions for the Canon EF-M 22mm f/2 STM lens. Key operations include mounting the lens to the camera, using manual focus, and attaching accessories like the EW-43 hood and filters. Always ensure the camera is turned off before mounting or detaching the lens.
Safety precautions
- Sunlight: Do not look at the sun or bright light sources through the lens, as this may cause vision loss or blindness.
- Fire hazard: Do not leave the lens under the sun without the lens cap attached, as the lens can concentrate sunlight and cause a fire.
- Condensation: If moving the lens from a cold to a warm environment, place it in an airtight plastic bag until it has gradually warmed to prevent condensation on internal parts.
- Heat: Avoid leaving the lens in excessive heat, such as in a car under direct sunlight, to prevent malfunction.
Mounting and detaching the lens
Always perform these actions with the camera turned OFF.
- Mounting: Align the lens mount index on the lens with the corresponding index on the camera. Turn the lens clockwise until it clicks into place.
- Detaching: To remove the lens, reverse the mounting procedure.
- Contacts: Keep the lens contacts clean. If they become soiled or scratched, the lens may not operate properly. Clean them with a soft cloth.
Manual focus
When the camera's focus mode is set to [MF], you can focus manually by rotating the focusing ring. Avoid rotating the ring too quickly, as this may result in delayed focus. In [AF+MF] mode, you can manually adjust focus by pressing the shutter button halfway and turning the focusing ring.
Accessories
- Hood (EW-43): Sold separately. Protects the lens from rain, snow, and dust. Attach by screwing it into the lens filter thread or the filter thread of an attached filter. Do not grasp the rim of the hood when attaching/detaching to prevent deformation.
- Filters: Sold separately. Attach by screwing into the lens filter thread or the hood's front filter thread. Only one filter may be attached at a time.
Specifications
The lens features a focal length of 22mm and an aperture of f/2. The filter diameter is 43mm. The lens is compatible with EOS M series cameras.
