Safety Precautions

Do not use the flash with dirt, dust or other items stuck to the surface, or if it is covered by your fingers or clothing.

This could result in burns or damage to the flash.

Caution

Do not aim the camera at bright light sources (the sun, etc.). Doing so may cause malfunctions or damage the image sensor.

When using the camera on a beach or at a windy location, be careful not to allow dust or sand to enter the camera.

This may cause the camera to malfunction.

In regular use, small amounts of smoke may be emitted from the flash.

This is due to the high intensity of the flash burning dust and foreign materials stuck to the front of the unit. Please use a cotton swab to remove dirt, dust or other foreign matter from the flash to prevent heat build-up and damage to the unit.

Unplug the battery charger from the power outlet after recharging is complete, or when you are not using it.

Do not place anything, such as cloth on top of the battery charger while it is charging.

Leaving the unit plugged in for a long period of time may cause it to overheat and distort, resulting in fire.

Remove and store the battery when you are not using the camera.

If the battery is left inside the camera, damage caused by leakage may occur.

Before you discard batteries, cover the terminals with tape or other insulators. Contacting other metal materials in waste containers may lead to fire or explosions.

Do not place the battery near pets.

Pets biting the battery could cause leakage, overheating or explosion, resulting in fire or injuries.

Do not sit in a chair with the camera in your pocket.

Doing so may cause malfunctions or damage the LCD monitor.

When putting the camera in your bag, ensure that hard objects do not come into contact with the LCD monitor.

With 9 rounded aperture blades, the lens produces aesthetically pleasing out-of-focus areas, contributing to its appeal for portrait and nature photographers.

Thanks to the Canon RF mount's innovative design, the lens benefits from a high-speed communication between the lens and camera body, facilitating fast and accurate autofocus operations. The lens utilizes a Dual Nano USM (Ultrasonic Motor), which provides rapid and silent focusing, a crucial aspect when shooting in sensitive environments.

In conclusion, the Canon RF 200mm f/2L IS USM stands out for its exceptional image quality, fast and accurate autofocus, and robust construction. With the ability to deliver stunning images in a variety of conditions, this lens is a formidable tool for photographers looking to elevate their craft.
