Instructions
Handling Cautions
Safety Precautions
●● 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 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. Thito prevent the lens from concentrating
the sun’s rayshich could cause a fire.
●● Do not leave the lens in excessive heat such as in a car
in direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause the
lens to malfunction.

Shooting Precautions
The EF-S18-135mm f/3.5-5.6 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 eode in oto save power. Sleep mode
differs from when the camera is OFF due to the use of the off functiIn this state, the motor will not
operate even if the camera is ON. Therefore, ust be f the following points.
●●Manual focus adjustments are not possible
●●During zooming, delayed focus will occur.
●●To exit sleep mode, press the sbutto
3. During initial reset
When the camera is ON or whehe camera is turnN by pressing the shutter button halfway down when the
camera is OFF due to the use of e auto por off function*1, the lens performs an initial reset of the focus lens.
●●Although the image in the viewfir will pear 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.

contacts from getting scratched.
●●If the contacts get soiled, atchd, or h
fingerprints on them, corron or faulty
connections can result. Thcamera and lens

After autofocusing in ONE SHOT AF mode, focus
manually by pressing the shutter button halfway
and turning the focusing ring.
●●If the contacts get soiled or hfingeints on
them, clean them with a soft clot
●●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.

ooming after focusing can affect the focus.
●●rring 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 hood can be reverse-moted on e 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.

●●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 transrtation.
●●The Image abilizer consumes more power
tharmahooting, so fewer shots can be
taken ie the function.
This function provides optimal image stabilization
depending on shooting conditions (such as
shooting still subjects and following shots).

compensates for vertical camera shake during
ollowing shots in a horizontal direction, and
mpensates 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 or EF25 II.
●●If you set the camera’s Custom Function to
change the assigned button to operate the AF,
the Image Stabilizer will operate when you press
