  1. When shooting movies and operating the Iris Ring whilst AF is in operation, on rare occasions, focusing and aperture values could be inconsistent when using EOS R system cameras released before May 2024
  2. Important: The Voice Coil Motor in RF 35mm F1.4L VCM emits a low-level magnetic field. While generally safe to use, we advise consulting your doctor if you have a pacemaker or any other medical device to address any concerns.
    When the lens is not connected to the camera or when the camera is off may cause internal noise from the lens components. This is normal and not a malfunction. Minor movements during transportation do not affect performance.
