Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)


Can Canon DSLR Lenses Be Used with Mirrorless Cameras?

Yes, it is possible to use Canon DSLR lenses with mirrorless cameras with a mount adapter. However, not all Canon DSLR lenses are compatible with all Canon mirrorless cameras. Also, autofocus may not perform as well when using a Canon DSLR lens on a mirrorless camera. While DSLR lenses are accepted by mirrorless cameras, Canon mirrorless lenses will not work with Canon DSLR camera bodies.

Do All Canon Lenses Fit All Canon Cameras?

Canon lens compatibility goes beyond mirrorless and DLSRs. There are several different series of Canon lenses, including the EF, EF-S, RF, and EF-M types. Canon lenses can have different mounts and features designed for different camera bodies and image sensor sizes. So no, not every Canon lens will fit or work with any Canon camera. Ultimately, compatibility will depend on the model of Canon lens being used, so be sure to check.

Where Is The Serial Number On A Canon Lens?

One way to identify a Canon lens is with the serial number. For most Canon lenses, the serial number will be found on the side of the lens barrel, or on the bottom of the lens, on or near the lens mount. Note that the serial numbers will contain only numbers and no letters. You can then use the Canon lens model finder tool to find the make and model.

How Do I Clean My Canon Lens?

To clean the exterior of your Canon lens, use a soft, dry cloth to gently wipe away any dirt or fingerprints. If the lens is particularly dirty, you can use a camera lens-safe cleaning solution and a microfiber cloth to gently wipe the lens. Avoid using rough or abrasive materials, as they may scratch the lens surface.

What Is The Best Canon Lens For Portraits?

The best Canon lens for portraits will depend on the type of portraiture you're trying to create. Generally speaking, photographers will often use a Canon lens with a medium focal length, between 50 to 100mm, for portrait photography. This is because these longer lenses add compression to the image which can have a flattering effect on people's faces. However these focal lengths may be too close-up to include a subject's surroundings, making the shorter focal length of Canon wide-angle lens more suitable for environmental portraits.

How To Calibrate A Canon Lens?

If you're noticing consistent mis-focusing issues, you may want to calibrate your Canon lens. This usually only applies to Canon DSLR lenses that tend to have secondary sensors used for autofocus. These sensors can become misaligned resulting in loss of sharpness where there otherwise would be. To calibrate a Canon DSLR lens, access the camera menu and find the auto focus settings. In the settings, enable 'Autofocus AF Micro-Adjustment'. Use the 'Adjust By Lens' values, finely update the focusing of the lens until calibration is complete.
