Our take on the Canon EF 75-300mm USM Telephoto Lens

CANON AUTHORIZED DEALER

Whether you're shooting high-intensity sports or high-energy toddlers, you can appreciate the speedy photo capture that a lens with fast autofocus delivers. That's why Canon has honed the power of their Ultrasonic Motors (USM) for use in their EF lenses.

The EF 75-300mm lens with USM delivers exceptional telephoto ability, for capture of far-off subjects, or for detailed close-ups of nearby objects. And the built-in Micro USM gives you rapid and quiet autofocus. Picture a frame-filling photograph of a distant hot-air balloon, followed by a sparkling shot of your daughter's face as she watches it — all taken in a matter of seconds. With that kind of potential, this measures up as an unusually capable lens for the price.

Features

Product Overview: The Canon EF 75-300mm f/4-5.6 III USM lens is a telephoto zoom lens compatible with Canon EOS SLR cameras. With the Ultrasonic Motor (USM), you can expect fast and quiet focusing capability.

Auto/Manual Focus: To shoot in Autofocus mode, set the focus mode switch on the lens to "AF". To manually focus the camera, set the switch to "MF", and focus by turning the focusing ring.

Aperture: The aperture is set with the camera's electronic input dial. The aperture will change according to the focal length. However, special operation is not required since the camera automatically reads the aperture change.
