1. Align the lens mount index mark with the corresponding mark on your camera body.
2. Rotate the lens clockwise (for Canon EF mount) until it clicks into place. Ensure it is securely locked.
3. Pour détacher l'objectif, appuyez sur le bouton de déverrouillage de l'objectif situé sur le boîtier de l'appareil photo et faites pivoter l'objectif dans le sens antihoraire.

3.2 Fixation du pare-soleil

• Alignez le point rouge sur le pare-soleil avec le point rouge situé à l'avant de l'objectif.
• Twist the lens hood clockwise until it locks into position.
• To remove, twist counter-clockwise.

3.3 Utilisation du collier trépied

The lens includes a tripod collar for stable mounting on a tripod or monopod, especially recommended due to the lens's weight. The collar allows for rotation of the camera without detaching the lens, facilitating quick changes between horizontal and vertical orientations.

4. Utilisation de l'objectif

4.1 Zoom

Rotate the zoom ring to adjust the focal length between 60mm and 600mm. The lens also supports push-pull zooming for rapid focal length changes.

4.2 Mise au point

• Mise au point automatique (AF) : Set the FOCUS mode switch to 'AF'. The lens will automatically focus when the camera's shutter button is half-pressed.
• Mise au point manuelle (MF) : Set the FOCUS mode switch to 'MF'. Rotate the focus ring to manually adjust focus.
• Manual Override (MO): This mode allows for manual focus adjustment even when the lens is set to autofocus, providing fine-tuning capability.

4.3 Focus Limiter

The focus limiter switch allows you to restrict the autofocus range, which can improve autofocus speed when shooting subjects within a specific distance. Options typically include FULL (full range), 6m - ∞ (6 meters to infinity), and 6m - 2.6m (6 meters to 2.6 meters).

4.4 Stabilisation optique (OS)

The Intelligent OS system minimizes camera shake, providing up to 4 stops of stabilization. Set the OS switch to 'ON' for handheld shooting. Different OS modes may be available for various shooting scenarios (e.g., Mode 1 for general use, Mode 2 for panning shots).

4.5 Interrupteur de verrouillage du zoom

Use the zoom lock switch to secure the lens at a desired focal length, preventing zoom creep during transport or when shooting at a fixed focal length.

5. Maintenance et entretien

• Laissez les capuchons d'objectif en place lorsqu'ils ne sont pas utilisés afin de protéger les lentilles avant et arrière.
• Clean lens surfaces with a soft, lint-free cloth and a specialized lens cleaning solution. Avoid harsh chemicals.
• Rangez la lentille dans un endroit frais et sec, à l'abri de la lumière directe du soleil et des températures extrêmes.
• The lens features a dust and splash-proof construction, but it is not fully waterproof. Avoid exposing it to heavy rain or submersion.

6. Dépannage

• Objectif non mis au point : Ensure the camera is set to the correct focus mode (AF/MF) and the lens's focus mode switch matches. Check the focus limiter setting.
• Images floues : Verify that the optical stabilization (OS) is enabled for handheld shots. Check shutter speed and aperture settings. Ensure the lens and camera are clean.
• Zoom ring stiff: Ensure the zoom lock switch is disengaged. If the issue persists, contact customer support.
