- Page 2 Thank you for purchasing a Canon product. Canon’s TS-E lenses are tilt-shift lenses designed for EOS cameras. The tilt-shift mechanism enables photographers to control the depth of field and the area photographed and to correct image distortion, making it possible to take sophisticated pictures that cannot be shot using a conventional lens.

Page 3: Safety Precautions
a Safety Precautions a 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. ●... - Page 4 Safety Precautions Countermeasures for harmful rays The TS-E17mm f/4L has a wide angle of view, and the lens protrudes from the front frame, so it can be affected by harmful rays. To prevent flare and ghosting, cutting off the harmful rays entering the lens with a piece of cardboard is recommended.

- Page 7 About the Shift Knob Cap Shifting will be easier if the supplied shift knob cap is mounted (p.4). However, for EOS cameras with built-in flash, the cap will come in contact with the camera during the lens’ mounting/detaching, or during shift/rotation operation. The shift knob cap is recommended for use with EOS-1, EOS-1D, EOS-1Ds, and EOS 5D series.
- Page 8 Mounting/Removing the Lens Cap The lens of TS-E17mm f/4L protrudes from the front frame. To protect the lens, keep it covered with the exclusive lens cap when not shooting. ● Removing To remove the cap, hold down the button on the side and turn the cap in the direction of the arrow until the position mark on the cap aligns with the red dot.

1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens See your camera’s instructions for details on mounting and detaching the lens. ● When mounting or detaching the lens, always ensure that the tilt and shift scales are set to the “0” position. ● After detaching the lens, place the lens with the rear end up to prevent the lens surface and contacts from getting scratched. - Page 10 3. Tilt Function Tilting inclines the lens relative to the image plane. When the tilt scale is set to the “0” position, the focusing and imaging planes are parallel. However, tilting puts the focusing plane at an angle to the imaging plane.

Page 11: Tilt Lock Knob
Using Tilt Slide the tilt-lock button in the direction of arrow A. Loosen the tilt lock knob by turning it in the direction of arrow B. Turn the tilt lock knob in the direction of the arrow to lock the amount of tilt for the shot. Turn the tilt knob to adjust the amount of tilt. - Page 12 4. Shift Function Shifting moves the optical axis of the lens in parallel off the center of the imaging plane. Shift can be used to good effect in the situations shown below. ● If you photograph a subject such as a building with a normal lens, the top of the building tapers away.

Page 13: Shift Lock Knob
Using Shift Loosen the shift lock knob by turning it in the direction of the arrow. When you shift the lens, sharp portions of the shift mechanism are exposed and care should be taken to avoid touching these portions. For EOS cameras with built-in flash, there may be contact with the lens while you operate the shift function. -
Page 14: Rotation Lock Release Button
5. Rotation The rotation function enables you to change the direction of tilt or shift by rotating the tilt-shift mechanism. With the lens mounted on the camera, push the rotation lock release button towards the mount and then turn the tilt-shift mechanism. ●... -

6. Depth-of-Field Scale (TS-E24mm f/3.5L II) The depth of field is the distance in front of and behind the plane of focus on the subject that appears sharp. The depth of field is indicated by the area between the depth-of-field scale lines below the distance scale. - Page 17 8. TS-E Tripod Adapter With some camera models, the tilt, shift and rotation functions cannot be used when the camera is mounted directly on a tripod. When this happens, fit the optional TS-E tripod adapter into the tripod mount socket on the camera before mounting the camera on the tripod.
- Page 18 Cutting off harmful rays entering the lens by using both a hood as well as a piece of cardboard is recommended. ● A hood is not available for TS-E17mm f/4L. To attach the hood, align the hood’s 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’...
- Page 19 ● Only one filter may be attached. ● Use a polarizing Canon filter (82mm). A filter cannot be used with TS-E17mm f/4L. 12. Infinity Compensation Mark (TS-E24mm f/3.5L II) Infinity compensation mark Distance index To compensate for shifting of the infinity focus point that results from changes in temperature.
- Page 20 EF12 II ● The extension tubes EF12 II and EF25 II cannot be used with TS-E17mm f/4L. ● Although extension tube EF25 II can be attached on TS-E24mm f/3.5L II, it is not recommended because the lens-to-subject distance will be very short.
