Cautions for Using EF Cinema (CN-E) Lenses

EF Cinema lenses with PL mount are not supported.

EF Cinema lenses require the aperture to be adjusted manually. Therefore, they are not suitable for autoexposure shooting (p.18) and shutter-priority AE shooting (p.19) for which the aperture is set automatically to suit the brightness.

If the EF Cinema lens is not fitted with a function for sending information to the camera, the aperture will be indicated as “00.” Also, the lens name and other information will not be recorded in the Exif information.

If the EF Cinema lens can send information to the camera, the aperture will be displayed as the f/number (not as the TNo.).

The color tone of movies shot with EF lenses and EF Cinema lenses is different. Compared to EF lenses, EF Cinema lenses tend to make movies look slightly more yellow.

When you shoot a still photo using an EF Cinema lens, lens aberration correction (peripheral illumination correction and chromatic aberration correction) is not applied.

Additional cautions regarding the use of EF Cinema lenses may be announced on the Canon Web site, etc.
