Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Medium Telephoto Lens Instruction Manual

Comprehensive instruction manual for the Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Medium Telephoto Lens, covering setup, operation, maintenance, and specifications for Canon SLR cameras.

1. Matulview

The Canon EF 85mm f/1.8 USM Medium Telephoto Lens is designed for Canon SLR cameras, offering a fixed 85mm focal length and a wide f/1.8 maximum aperture. This lens is highly practical for various applications, including portraiture, due to its ability to perform well in low-light conditions and create a shallow depth of field for artistic background blur. It features a Ring-type Ultrasonic Motor (USM) for fast, smooth, and quiet autofocus operation.

The lens is compact, measuring approximately 3 inches in diameter and 2.8 inches long, and weighs about 15 ounces. It is not a zoom lens, meaning the focal length is fixed at 85mm.

3.1 Swiċċ tal-Modalità tal-Fokus

The lens features an AF/MF switch on its side. This switch allows you to select between autofocus (AF) and manual focus (MF) modes.

  • AF (Awtofokus): For automatic focusing. The Ring-type USM ensures fast, smooth, and quiet AF action.
  • MF (Fokus Manwali): For manual focusing. Turn the focusing ring on the lens to adjust focus.

3.2 Aperture and Depth of Field

With a maximum aperture of f/1.8, this lens excels in low-light conditions, allowing more light to reach the camera sensor. The wide aperture also enables a shallow depth of field, which is ideal for isolating your subject from the background, creating a pleasing blur (bokeh). This characteristic makes it particularly suitable for portrait photography.

3.3 Fixed Focal Length

This is a fixed focal length (prime) lens at 85mm. It does not have a zoom function. To change your framing or perspective, you will need to physically move closer to or further from your subject.

3.4 Minimum Focusing Distance

The closest focusing distance for this lens is 2.8 feet (0.85 meters), allowing for relatively close-up shots while maintaining subject isolation.

4. Manutenzjoni

Proper care and maintenance will ensure the longevity and optimal performance of your lens.

  • Tindif tal-Lenti: Use a soft, lint-free cloth and a specialized lens cleaning solution to clean the front and rear elements. Avoid touching the glass with your fingers.
  • Protezzjoni mit-Trab: Always keep the front and rear lens caps on when the lens is not in use or not attached to the camera. This prevents dust and debris from entering the lens and camera body.
  • Ħażna: Store the lens in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures. If storing for extended periods, consider using a dehumidifying agent.
  • Immaniġġjar: Avoid dropping or subjecting the lens to strong impacts. The internal components are delicate.
