Canon TS-E 17mm f/4L TS-E17mm F4L Instruction Manual - 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. ● To ensure that you make the most of the TS-E lens functionality, it is recommended that you shoot in the following conditions. • Use an EOS camera with 100% viewfinder visibility (EOS-1, EOS-1D or EOS-1Ds series) and use the laser matte with grid focusing screen Ec-D • Use Live View • Use a tripod ● On EOS cameras with a built-in flash, some partial restrictions may apply to the shift and rotation functions. Features 1. Aspherical and UD lens elements result in outstanding image delineation. 2. SWC (Subwavelength Structure Coating) dramatically reduces ghosting and flare caused by light entering at an acute angle. 3. The lens can be tilted up to ±6.5° (for TSE17mm f/4L) or ±8.5° (for TS-E24mm f/3.5L II), and shifted up to ±12mm. 4. The tilt and shift functions can be used singly or in combination. The tilt and shift can switch from right angle to parallel using the TS rotation feature. 5. The lens can be rotated to change the tilt or shift direction. 6. A truly round aperture hole results in a nicer background blur. ENG-1
