Canon 814XL-S - Manual (Page 105)

The 1014XL-S and 814XL-S lenses incorporate
both a wide angle macro and telephoto macro
mechanism, useful for filming titles or small sub­
jects such as insects or plants. Wide angle macro
provides close-up filming by switching over to
macro at the end of the wide angle zoom.
Telephoto macro provides close-up filming by
switching to macro with the focusing ring, at the
telephoto end of the zoom range. Each macro
mechanism produces different results.

It is advisable to use a remote control switch and a copy
stand or tripod when doing macro filming, as blurring
caused by even slight camera movement is always a danger.
Filming distances in this chart are measured from the film
plane indicator to the subject.
