Use A Canon 1635mm Lens On A Canon 40d

Canon 16-35mm lens


The Canon 40D digital camera is a semi-pro camera body that many advanced amateurs and professionals use on a daily basis. The Canon 16-35mm f2.8L lens is a wide-angle zoom lens from Canon's professional series lenses. When coupled with the Canon 40D camera, the Canon 16-35mm f2.8L lens provides a 25.6-56mm 35mm equivalent zoom because of the 1.6 crop factor of the Canon 40D camera. This is very close to the "normal" focal length seen on 35mm film cameras in the past.


Instructions


1. Align the red dot on the Canon 16-35mm f2.8L lens with the red dot on the Canon 40D camera body. Turn the lens clockwise until the lens locks into the camera body.


2. Turn the camera on. Look through the viewfinder and set up the picture. Adjust the ISO and aperture depending on the shot you are taking. The bigger the aperture, the more light will be let into the camera. In dark settings, a higher aperture requires a longer shutter speed. The longer the shutter speed, the steadier the camera has to be, which may require a tripod.


3. Adjust the zoom by turning the zoom ring on the 16-35mm f2.8L lens until you have the frame in the viewfinder that you want for your picture. Adjust the focus by turning the focus ring on the 16-35mm f2.8L lens until the picture is in focus in the viewfinder.


4. Press the shutter button to take the picture. The picture will briefly show up in the LCD screen as a preview to show you what was just captured. You can adjust the settings in case you need to take the shot again.
