Thank you for purchasing a Canon product.
The Canon EF-M15-45mm f/3.5-6.3 IS STM is a standard
zoom lens developed for interchangeable-lens digital cameras
compatible with EF-M lenses*.
* The only digital interchangeable-lens cameras compatible
with EF-M lenses are EOS M series cameras. No other EOS
camera takes an EF-M lens.
• "IS" stands for Image Stabilizer.
• "STM" stands for stepping motor.
Safety Precautions
• Do not look at the sun or a bright light source through the
lens. Doing so could result in vision loss or blindness.
• Whether it is attached to the camera or not, do not leave
the lens under the sun without the lens cap attached. This
is to prevent the lens from concentrating the sun’s rays, which
could cause a fire.
Handling Cautions
• If the lens is taken from a cold environment into a warm
one, condensation may develop on the lens surface and
internal parts. To prevent condensation in this case, first
put the lens into an airtight plastic bag before taking it from a
cold to warm environment. Then take out the lens after it has
warmed gradually. Do the same when taking the lens from a
warm environment into a cold one.
• Do not leave the lens in excessive heat such as in a car in
direct sunlight. High temperatures can cause the lens to
malfunction.
• Please also refer to the handling cautions found in your
camera’s instructions.
Usage Precautions
• When using this lens, please check the Canon website for the
latest camera firmware. If the camera’s firmware is not the
latest version, be sure to update to the latest firmware.
• For details on updating firmware, please check the Canon
website.
• If you want to correct RAW images taken with this lens
mounted to an EOS M, EOS M2, or EOS M3 camera,
download the latest version of DPP (Digital Photo Professional)
from the Canon website and use the DPP software.
Conventions used in this instruction
Warning to prevent lens or camera malfunction or
damage.
Supplementary notes on using the lens and taking
pictures.
This device complies with Part 15 of the FCC Rules. Operation
is subject to the following two conditions: (1) This device may
not cause harmful interference, and (2) this device must accept
any interference received, including interference that may cause
undesired operation.
Do not make any changes or modifications to the equipment
unless otherwise specified in the instructions. If such changes
or modifications should be made, you could be required to stop
operation of the equipment.
This equipment has been tested and found to comply with the
limits for a class B digital device, pursuant to part 15 of the FCC
Rules. These limits are designed to provide reasonable protection
against harmful interference in a residential installation. This
equipment generates, uses and can radiate radio frequency energy
and, if not installed and used in accordance with the instructions,
may cause harmful interference to radio communications.
However, there is no guarantee that interference will not occur
in a particular installation. If this equipment does cause harmful
interference to radio or television reception, which can be determined
by turning the equipment off and on, the user is encouraged to try to
correct the interference by one or more of the following measures:
• Reorient or relocate the receiving antenna.
• Increase the separation between the equipment and receiver.
• Connect the equipment into an outlet on a circuit different from
that to which the receiver is connected.
• Consult the dealer or an experienced radio/TV technician for
help.

1. Mounting and Detaching the Lens
See your camera’s instructions for details on mounting and
detaching the lens.
• After detaching the lens, place the lens with the rear end
up to prevent the lens surface and contacts from getting
scratched. (fig.❶)
• If the contacts get soiled, scratched, or have fingerprints on
them, corrosion or faulty connections can result. The camera
and lens may not operate properly.
• If the contacts get soiled or have fingerprints on them, clean
them with a soft cloth.
• If you remove the lens, cover it with the dust cap. To attach
it properly, align the lens mount index and the index of the
dust cap as shown in the diagram, and turn clockwise. (fig.❷)
To remove it, reverse the order.
2. Shooting Preparations and Retracting Lens
Shooting Preparations:
With the lens retract position index and zoom position index
aligned, attach the lens to the camera. Turn the camera on.
A message prompting you to operate the lens appears on the
camera’s liquid crystal monitor. Maintain pressure on the lens-
retraction switch in the [▲] direction, and slightly rotate the
zoom ring in the direction of the white arrow to release the lens-
retraction switch. Further rotate the zoom ring until it clicks. The
message on the camera’s liquid crystal monitor disappears. The
lens is now ready for shooting. (The center of the no. 15 pointing
line in the focal length indicator will show above or to the left of
the zoom position index extension line.) (fig.❸)
Retracting Lens:
Maintain pressure on the lens-retraction switch in the [▲] direction.
Rotate the zoom ring in the opposite direction to the white arrow.
Align the lens retract position index and the zoom position index.
Release the lens-retraction switch to retract the lens.
Do not forcibly rotate the zoom ring if its movement becomes
constricted in the lens retract position or wide end (15 mm)
position. Doing so results in the risk of damaging the lens
retraction switch mechanism.
3. Zooming
Turn the lens’ zoom ring to adjust the size of the photo field or
subject. (fig.❹)
• For wide shots, turn the zoom ring toward the wide end.
• For close-ups, turn the zoom ring toward the telephoto end.
• Be sure to finish zooming before focusing. Zooming after
focusing can affect the focus.
• Blurring may temporarily occur if the zoom ring is quickly
rotated.
• Zooming during still image exposure will result in delayed
focus. This causes any streaks of light that are captured
during exposure to be blurred.

4. Manual Focus
When the camera’s focus mode is set to [MF], focus manually by
turning the focusing ring. (fig.❺)
Quickly rotating the focusing ring may result in delayed focus.
• Focus mode is set using the camera. Please refer to the
camera’s instructions.
• After autofocusing in [AF+MF] mode, focus manually by
pressing the shutter button halfway and turning the focusing
ring (full-time manual focusing).
5. Image Stabilizer
This lens is equipped with an Image Stabilizer. This function
corrects camera shake, allowing users to capture sharp images.
Also, the Image Stabilizer automatically provides optimal image
stabilization depending on shooting conditions (such as shooting
still subjects and following shots). Please set the Image Stabilizer
ON or OFF using the camera settings. See your camera’s
instructions for details.
• The Image Stabilizer cannot compensate for a blurred shot
caused by a subject that moved.
• The Image Stabilizer may not be fully effective if you shoot
from a violently shaking vehicle or other transportation.
• The Image Stabilizer consumes more power than normal
shooting, resulting in fewer shots and a shorter movie
shooting time.
• When shooting a still subject, it compensates for camera
shake in all directions.
• It compensates for vertical camera shake during following
shots in a horizontal direction, and compensates for
horizontal camera shake during following shots in a vertical
direction.
• When you use a tripod, the Image Stabilizer should be
turned off to save battery power.
• Even with a monopod, the Image Stabilizer will be as
effective as during hand-held shooting.
However, depending on the shooting environment, the
Image Stabilizer effect may be less effective.
6. Hood (sold separately)
The EW-53 hood cuts out unwanted light and protects the front of
the lens from rain, snow, and dust.
To attach the hood, align the hood’s attachment position mark with
the red dot on the front of the lens, then turn the hood as shown
by the arrow until the lens’ red dot is aligned with the hood’s stop
position mark. (fig.❻)
The hood can be reverse-mounted on the lens for storage.
• If the hood is not attached properly, vignetting (darkening of
the perimeter of the picture) may occur.
• When attaching or detaching the hood, grasp the base of
the hood to turn it. To prevent deformation, do not grasp the
rim of the hood to turn it.
7. Filters (sold separately)
You can attach filters (which are 49 mm in diameter) to the filter
mounting thread on the front of the lens.
Only one filter may be attached.
