Use A Canon "L" Professional Lens On A Canon 40d

Canon digital SLR camera with a "L" lens attached


The Canon 40D digital Single-Lens Reflex (SLR) camera is a consumer camera that is used by advanced amateur photographers and professional photographers alike. It fills the gap between the lower end Canon Rebel series cameras and the professional 1D series cameras. Many professional photographers use the Canon 40D camera instead of buying the more expensive 1D series cameras so they can use their money to buy the professional "L" series lenses. The Canon "L" series lenses are considered the sharpest and most durable of Canon's line up of lenses. They are generally sealed and more durable than the lower end lenses.


Instructions


1. Turn off the Canon 40D camera. Remove the body lens cover on the camera by twisting it clockwise until it unlocks from the camera body.


2. Align the red dot on the Canon "L" professional lens with the red dot on the Canon 40D body. Turn the lens clockwise until the lens locks onto the Canon 40D body.


3. Turn the camera on. Look through the viewfinder and aim the lens at an object. Press the shutter button half way to focus the lens on the object.


4. Press the shutter button all the way down to take the picture. Review the picture taken on the back LCD display of the Canon 40D camera. A preview will show on the LCD display after the picture has been taken. Press the play button on the back of the camera to review all the pictures that are currently stored on the memory card inside of the camera.
